Today in Tales from the South West!

I was reading on my balcony again (see "There's Evil Asunder" 😅) and noticed this guy SUPER low, and also not with the rest of the pack even a LITTLE bit. Asked around in the usual spots, and apparently about five minutes later the poor guy clipped a power line the next major intersection up and caused a small fire. The flying pig is out and everything 😆Albuquerque has NOT disappointed since I moved here, lol.

Pilot and passenger are okay, fire was easily extinguished. HImb balloon's done for the rest of the Fiesta tho.

It more or less needs a new one of that and probably a good cleaning too

people who don't understand the basics of weather (or deny it) shouldn't have the power to effect change

now weather forecasters are getting death threats because they're disproving political conspiracies around the hurricanes >_>

My problem with CRTs is like now they're all slowly dying and most have a high pitch whine

SF Bay Furs

12 Oct 2024 00:24

but they have the Sinden now, which is camera based and doesn't need a CRT :3 (don't have one, but heard about it)

yeah, you never actually own games or software you buy. you buy the media and then a license to use the software.

SF Bay Furs

12 Oct 2024 00:02

they're providing you with a usage agreement — you never "own" the hardware

it's just clarification.
