The patio is the center of our outdoor lifestyles in many homes today and is a great time to start planning for outdoor improvements. One of the easiest ways to get your yard ready is to create a gravel patio. For more information you can read our blog.

not commenting on that post about the AIDS retroviral injection directly but people here (again) don't totally understand the staggering cost of R&D for any medicine that successfully makes it to market, nor that there are government programs and programs run by the manufacturers themselves that will cover the cost of these drugs and ensure that the companies that produce them don't all go, you know, bankrupt

always enjoyed the Chess Set In The Foreground perspective framing used here

now also noting like, huh, a chess set in a general store just visited by marigold competitors who killed one of their guys and are now on the way back from their rendezvous point w/suppliers

Rewatching The Bear 2x03 is actually crazy and feels so clarifying because like...

The ep starts with Carmy speaking at Al-Anon about fun, and how maybe he needs to have more of it. He acknowledges that fun is complicated for him because as a kid his family tended to ruin things for him, even though this was often unintentionally done. He says that he thinks if he had more amusement or enjoyment in his own life then it would be easier to provide that for other people. (Big note here that part of the purpose OF a restaurant is to provide amusement and enjoyment for people. Then add in Luca's conversation with Marcus in 2x04 about how the best food comes from being open and inspired, and spending time in the world. So Carmy having fun could theoretically make him better at his job.)

Anyway, Carmy gives that spiel at Al-Anon. Then we get a brief interlude of Syd looking at articles about recent restaurant closings and being stressed.

And then we're immediately back with Syd and Carmy cooking together in his kitchen. She fucks up a dish again, and he suggests they stop cooking and do a palate reset.

Like... this all happens within the first five minutes of the ep. This man has been musing about how he needs to have more fun.... and then he suggests spending the day eating in the city with Syd..... ergo that's his definition of fun. This is literally him making an attempt at doing something for amusement or enjoyment!! He planned this!! I fully believe he had this idea even before Sydney fucked up the dish. This man said I need to have more fun and you know what would be fun? Spending the day with my business partner eating delicious food. So he sends her home with plans to meet in an hour.

And then. AND THEN. Claire calls. First of all when she asks if he's busy, he looks at the white board and the very first thing on the To Do list is "call fridge guy" so like. lmao. I love foreshadowing. And he literally is busy!!! Not with unpleasant tasks to do but with something FUN. Something fun that he planned FOR himself.

And what is it that Claire asks him to do? Is it something fun? No. She asks him to HELP HER MOVE her mom. Like, the least fun task in the history of anything, the thing that people historically HATE being asked to help with. And he doesn't look excited about it! He looks torn. He looks...weird idk. Like ohhhh it's actually so crazy that Carmy bails on a truly fun day with Sydney in order to do a manual labor favor for Claire.

This is so ripe for analysis you simply cannot tell me it doesn't mean anything.

Carmy thinks about how he needs more fun, plans a fun day for himself, and then, when someone he tried to avoid asks him to do a not fun favor, he says yeah, I'll do that instead.

Do you think 8 years was originally the best amount of time they could make the suit? Or did they give Katsuki a prognosis of like 10+ years before a suit could be ready to replicate Dekus powers? And then, to these prodigy scientists, these experts in the support gear technology, these best of the best, katsuki said:

No, not good enough. MAKE IT FASTER.

And then threw every spare yen he could possibly afford at them.

You have converted me into a Laicion shipper and now I suffer from how little content it has... ;_;

I am both delighted and terribly sorry… It’s very small consolation but I am planning on writing for them at some point (hopefully soon) and drawing more for them, and I also know I have a buddy who really likes the ship and has big plans for a fic for the far-off future… It’s tragic too because it’s not even an ultra niche rarepair, my laicion comic is my most liked dunmeshi fanart, and it gets a good amount of poll votes and interest, so clearly a bunch of people do like it… SO WHERE IS THE CONTENT‼️‼️

I will try brethren but I cannot provide fully for the community, I am already busy working the marchil fields everyday, the winter shall be long and hard

new Wednesday headcanon unlocked: she's a total troll and probably has a secret cell phone & twitter account squirreled away somewhere. 

How else would you explain that the same Wednesday who “refuses to be a slave to technology” and “doesn't have a phone” also knows, within hours of meeting, about the bad punctuation and grammar of Enid’s vlog, other than having watched it herself? Also, she says that Enid’s followers are “clearly imbeciles” who respond to Enid’s stories with “insipid little pictures” — which you would only find out about by stalking the comments. 

And how else could Wednesday look at Enid and immediately have “the following emojis come to mind: rope, shovel, hole”? Wednesday has to know that these are options in the emoji-catalog, which even I wouldn't have been able to tell you off the top of my head. 

TLDR: Wednesday's got us all fooled. Prove me wrong :D

Bonus: “if you're going to gossip about me, at least spell my name correctly.” Are these professional gossiping-standards you want to uphold there, Wednesday? Hm?

What is horse arena footing?

Horse arena footing is the material used to create a safe and comfortable surface for horses to move on. The right footing helps prevent injuries and improves performance.

Types of Sand:

Masonry Sand: Fine and smooth, ideal for dressage arenas.

River Sand: Coarser, good for racing and general use.

Manufactured Sand: Affordable and customizable for various needs.

Key Considerations:

Particle Shape: A mix of rounded and angular particles offers both cushioning and stability.

Particle Size: For jumping, choose sand with particles between 0.5 and 2 mm.

Depth: Dressage arenas need 0.5-1 inch of sand; jumping arenas require 1-2 inches.

For high-quality arena sand in California, contact Western Materials at (855) 826-5565 or visit our website.

Modulation of heat flow by means of electric fields enables the creation of thermal circuits

Overheating in electronic devices affects how it works and how long it lasts. One of the major challenges is efficiently managing the heat generated by these systems during operation, which involves controlling the thermal conductivity of the materials they comprise. While electric current can be easily manipulated in conventional electronic materials, heat presents a different challenge: phonons, the particles that transport heat in crystalline solids, lack both charge and magnetic moment, making them much harder to control. A new technique developed by researchers at the Center for Research in Biological Chemistry and Molecular Materials (CiQUS) enables the creation of thermal circuits in certain iron and cobalt oxides, effectively regulating heat flow in highly localized areas of these materials. The paper is published in the journal Advanced Materials. "Using this technique, we've managed to reduce thermal conductivity by up to 50% in micrometric regions of various materials," explains Francisco Rivadulla, the study's lead researcher and Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC).

someday someone is going to ask me how I know Ereshkigal is the Sumerian goddess of the underworld

and I am not going to want to say "a gay vampire web series" but

[puckpocketed]

Anton Silayev PEAK easily spooked horse. i get you so bad my dude. you’re huge and they keep asking you to move the puck and do Everything but you simply do not have that gear . sweet defensive defenseman prince …people come at you and you explode. there is a stone in your beautiful hoof and thats everyones problem now!!! like LOOK at this:

he’s in juniors and he simply does Not want the puck actually .!!!

they were sooo high on him earlier in the season i remember it leaking through to MY limited channels of hockey news (because he’s 6’7 — and quite possibly the best skater to come out of this draft according to some??) like they thought he’d go 2nd overall. saw his tallgirl status and saw that he could skate but didn’t consider that actually he ain’t made to break the puck out … that’s just not his vibe unfortch </3

okay i was gonna rb a post with tags about this but i felt mean doing it because it is not just one person saying this but i've seen so many people saying it and i have to make the correction. the heart killers IS NOT AN ADAPTION OF 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU. point blank period, it is not. i know jojo wore the shirt when the trailer dropped, i know he quote tweeted a tweet talking about it, i know he loves the movie, but objectively speaking it is not a 10 things adaptation. jojo himself CALLED IT a shakespeare adaption and it is VERY OBVIOUSLY more based on taming of the shrew than it is 10 things. i can count on one hand the amount of parallels and direct references that there have been to 10 things in the show, whereas there have been DOZENS of DIRECT and EXPLICIT references to taming of the shrew, as well as many smaller and subtle references. this is not a "based on based on" situation. it is based on taming of the shrew, point blank period.
