Celery Man

Ok we’ve established my level of competence with home mx, can I get some input here - so, this is near the garage, I believe is the main shutoff inside the house (but, y’know, I’m a dumbass about this). There was a house shoe where the pitcher is that was soaked, I noticed this at 5:45 pm as well as some water surrounding it. That white thing is shitty particle board and it isn’t super bloated and warped, so I think I’d just started or just happened or just finally saturated the shoe enough to spread. Wife also said that she noticed that the bottom of the dog food container was wet this morning (and had not noticed that on previous mornings). it has been about 3 hours and there’s a drop or two of water in that pitcher. What do I need to do here, or should I just go ahead and call a plumber tomorrow. Heading out of town next week and I don’t want a disaster. here’s some shit I paid other people to do

oh is govee specifically bad? I typically just assume everything is out there and I'm not going to worry too much about it but maybe I'll go review the settings.

Wife relies heavily on the placebo effect with all kinds of different remedies whenever she gets sick. Humidifiers are one of them, and we've gone through several because they're wrong or they get yucky or the room got "sticky" or whatever - I don't pay attention or get involved typically, if she wants to spend $35 annually on humidifiers that she throws away after failing to understand how they work, that is not a problem I need to insert myself into. I keep a humidifier in my office. I chose a thing after googling, it has an app, I set it to a level that is ideal for guitars (which is why I have the thing), I clean it a couple of times a month with vinegar, during the winter I'm constantly topping it off, I have a hygrometer on the other side of the room to verify the humidity. It's a whole thing, the mx is a pain in the ass but it works well and my office stays at 45-50% humidity. Wife has a cold and bought a new humidifier. A 6 liter govee. Uh, ok dude, do you want me to set that up? We probably should've gotten a levoit so I could control it with the same app as the one in my office. "Oh I don't want to do anything that complicated, don't worry about it". Woke up this morning to a literal cloud in the room, the sensor on the front of the thing is reading 83%. jtfc i just installed the app on my phone and put a password on it, set it to 50. trying to decide if i should tell her it uses invisible mist.

I drove past a house in a quiet suburban neighborhood today flying an upside down American flag with a big TRUMP 2024 TAKE BACK AMERICA banner across their front porch

Probably somebody already said this, but I think I just realized this - Fishes had the same energy as Good Time and Uncut Gems. Just the relentless buildup of tension. I don't know if I'm ready for season 3, but I can't wait. A super small thing I cribbed from this show, I should find the episode - there's a moment in season 1 where what's her face (the precocious chef girl) is talking to Carmy smoking behind the restaurant about some problem and he just says "Say more" to get her to keep talking about her feelings or whatever. I use that alllllll the time. WIth my wife, at work, etc.

Saw a Lucid today. I don’t know anything about it but it looks like it fucks.

I would try tossing a full scoop of oxiclean in to a hot tub and letting it sit all day. Then maybe a scrub daddy, and I would try barkeepers friend and clr. Would test a spot with the barkeepers friend though.

Yeah they just popped up on my radar from this cover that’s a little viral. I’ve been listening today and I’m into it. This is another cover and yeah it’s the vocals

Does that chest lead to Diagon Alley?

I complained about people covering the Cranberries in one of the threads, because O’Riordan’s vocal make every Cranberries song. This is really good though -

If you need help figuring out how to properly dispose of that comforter, the folks in Ohio can help you out.

Repost of my sunburst Sunday to show the string swing case and guitar stand - before getting this thing I had the …. On-stage stands 6 or 7 guitar rack. This one is I think a fair bit pricier but it looks nicer and holds the guitars more securely, and takes up less space. IMO the rack is great for keeping lots of guitars out without just having them hanging everywhere.

Just mirrors for TVs throughout the fatty household

Ok I had a baby in December and have been sleepwalking since - he’s still the nominee, isn’t going to prison, etc?

i feel like I should have a better understanding of this but I do not: the fact that nobody embeds threads anywhere - is this because that capability is not really available from Meta, or because it hasn't been widely adopted? I was never a big twitter user. Twitter kinda sucked as a "open it up and scroll" experience until you had followed enough accounts that you had lots of different things in your feed and presumably a well fed algorithm peppering in other shit that is likely to capture your attention. The thing that made twitter sticky and a place to go back to before reaching that point was that you constantly ran into it out in the broader internet - people sharing news links, sports stuff. Because it became the default way to share a postcard for the story that's on the other end of the link, or to share a small video clip or picture from someone near the source of an event unfolding right now. And threads, however long we are out now from it's launch, this is still not a thing that I've seen from it. The only thing that ever pulls me into Threads at this point is Meta themselves inserting Threads into instagram or facebook.

So, both of our kids were in the snoo for the duration of their bassinet time. That makes things a little bit different because you're supposed to stop swaddling them once they can roll over (due to suffocation risk), but that's not the case with a snoo because they are fucking velcro'd down and cannot roll over. I think the short answer to your question though is yes, and specifically for my kids they reached an age (when you're supposed to be transitioning them out of the snoo anyways) where they want to be unswaddled and also do not want to be held in place in the snoo. We had the same experience with kid 1 where the snoo was amazing, she slept in it great, she started having "sleep regressions" and "teething" and having bad nights and we started making the plan to move her and what is our approach going to be with sleep training etc and then we plopped her in the crib and she fell asleep immediately. 3 nights in a row of full sleep for this daddy btw, living the life. Got damn. Interesting for both kids as well that they slept belly down after getting out of the snoo. I wonder what year every dad started taking this picture. I have a clear recollection of doing this for kid 1, wasn't sure if I did it for kid 2 but I just went and checked, there it is. But I also know I sat down to wait and fell asleep in the chair because this asshole has been keeping me up since he decided to bust out in the middle of the night. Da Fino is in it right now. Good luck buddy.

What is that sg? Tweedy? how is the tuning stability with that tremolo, and is the truss cover the only part that has signature bullshit on it (if it is in fact a tweedy)?

You have to have your cars inspected annually to pay a tax and get a sticker on your plate here in NC. I guess it’s not that different than Texas although the tax is more and I feel like it wasn’t annual in Texas. Anyways, today is the day. I pulled up to the inspection station - like a jiffy lube with two bays and cars line up. I got there and, out of two even lines, I picked the line that looked like the first car was almost done. A few minutes later another car arrived and pulled up next to me. And the entire time I’m waiting there’s a little gremlin in my head that is racing the other car and is very concerned about the fairness of me having arrived first and my car should get to the front of the line first. This is why I need a whole framework for letting go of things and training my mind to float with peace in the chaos of the universe. how are y’all doing today?

Oh for sure, find it next to the rugs at Lowes or Home Depot. I also have a Lowes bucket that I use to soak clothes in oxiclean and hot water. And people swear by zote laundry soap - it’s a bar, you can rub it into the stain or shave some into the load of laundry. Folex and oxiclean are my jams for sure though with two little kids.

you never end up getting in with the cute girl in algebra. you meet the punk rock girls from the other high school.

Doing some guitar modding tonight
