  • I remember how I used to enjoy channel surfing with cable for hours on end. But that was because I would often land on the History Channel which was showing something about … history, or some other interesting channel. Now I try it once in a while while riding my exercycle and it’s just an absolute wasteland with nothing interesting on. How is it possible to have literally 1000+ channels without anything worth watching? Even the Food Channel has become worthless - now it’s just hours of the “Pioneer Woman”, a nasty creature who only has a cooking show because she’s married to one of the richest men and largest landowners in Oklahoma.





  • I’ve been feeding my local murder of crows roasted peanuts for the past few years. Recently I’ve started noticing one bluejay that shows up occasionally to kick their asses. There’s six or seven of these small-chicken-sized black birds and this one little bluejay runs them off. He eats a couple of peanuts and then guards the rest.














  • I mean, the whole problem with airships is that they’re just big inflatable sails, and to be barely economical they have just enough propulsive power to move about in normal weather conditions. Once they hit bad weather they’re fucked, which is why nearly every airship built before WWII ended up crashing in a storm. They’re only marginally viable today because of weather prediction that grounds them before they hit the shit. Adding sails isn’t going to help anything.
