A new outlook, deteriorating state of social media I've been thinking a lot lately about what an unmitigated fucking disaster social media has become in the past ten years or so. While I'm sure there will be some folks that will say 'I told you so', I don't think any of us really knew how bad...

Hey folks, just a quick update to let you know that I've changed the forum settings so that at least three tags are required when creating a new thread. Since we will eventually be moving to a tag-centric forum software, it's important that we start correctly tagging threads in order to make...

Hey folks, I am reluctantly locking the General Banter section of the forums for now. The reason for this is that I've kind of let it get abused for far too long, and there's just been way, way too many people posting threads in this section instead of taking the time to post their thread in a...

"Vladimir" Excerpted from Adventure Cats by Laura J Moss (Workman Publishing). Copyright © 2017 My three-year-old cat spends most of her time lounging by the window. It faces the high branches of the tree outside our apartment, and she stares intently out at the rusty-red wood thrushes and...

UPDATE 2023-07-07 (about 3 weeks later): Unfortunately, this really didn't work out, and I can't recommend anyone visit SANI Dental. Please see this post for more information. I was recently quoted $2200 to get my crown fixed (i.e. root canal) along with another crown done in Portland, Oregon...
