#walking coffee table

[limesonspecial]

Hokay, so! I did a quick search, and while I haven't found that exact domesticated strandbeest, I found a blog post from Sept. '24 describing the linkage design - which is indeed based on the strandbeests! - and this GitHub page with an arduino/bluetooth code to run one. In both cases, it's run via bluetooth joystick, which you can briefly see in the first outside shot of the video.

drunkenly stumbling through the front door of kuroo's apartment, tripping over the pile of shoes in the hallway and whispering obnoxiously loud while he pushes you up against the wall and laughs all warm and soft as he kisses everywhere but your lips.

Morgan Stark discovers the joke format, "__, __, and __ walk into a bar..." 

She doesn't quite get the concept, but she enjoys it. And, like most children, when she enjoys something she becomes absolutely obsessed with it.

Morgan: A spider, the spider's aunt, and a grumpy walk into the house!

Happy: Morgan that's not how that works

Peter: I dunno, you do seem more like a Grumpy than a Happy :)

---

Morgan: A princess, her bestest brother ever, and their cyborg chef walk into the kitchen.

Tony: You can just say you want pancakes, Mo.

Peter, tearing up: That's Princess Mo to you.

---

Bonus:

It becomes an inside joke that the whole family uses. 

Tony when Peter cuts off his coffee supply: (gasp) A genius, his robot minions, and a hater walk into the lab.

Peter, not even missing a beat: A genius, his son, and his robot children who agree with the son walk out of the lab and in to their beds.

Tony, so completely endeared every time Peter calls himself his son he can barely protest: I- I- now wait just a second...

---

Teen Morgan, upon finding her brother and MJ making out on the couch: Eughh! An intern, the goddess way out of his league, and the amount of space reserved for Jesus between them walk out of the shared living space.

[howtobeamagicalgirl]

Something that has been working really well for me recently for whatever reason is, whenever I get bored, I stand up and write 4-6 tasks on a sticky note and then do all of those tasks before sitting back down. I only abandon a task if it is impossible or unreasonable to do at that time (e.g. if I wrote "clean bathtub" and my wife started taking a bath before I got to it).

Most of the tasks are small (put away 10 things on the counter, fold the towels on the dryer) and some are things I need to do to maintain the space anyway (load dishwasher) and some are things that have needed doing for some time now (unpack the bags by the door from the wedding that happened over a month ago). Sometimes the task isn't even a chore. A lot of times my first task is "put CD in player and press play" or "light candle." Just anything to improve my environment a little.

I tested the Cosmere mad lib on my wife--here's her story!

Hoid then began his story: "Our story takes place on the planet [Roshar], which, as you well know, is renowned for its [feet]. On that planet was a young man named [Coffee Table], who desperately wanted to be a [dogwalker]. But to do that, he knew that he needed to be stronger. But how?

One day a stranger came to town. You might know this stranger--it was a worldhopper whom you know as [Steris]. Yes! [Steris] is a worldhopper. Please don't interrupt me.

[Steris] came to [Coffee Table] and said, "If you wish to become stronger, you must complete my training regimen--you must do exactly what I say."

"Yes, yes I will!" promised [Coffee Table], feeling [greedy].

"Very well," said [Steris]. "First, you must travel to [that one beach where Shallan did her fire stick thing] while balancing a [phone] on your head. If it falls to the ground, you must begin again. Second, you must challenge [Jasnah] to a contest of [rock climbing]. Only when you win may you move on to the third and final task: You must find a [playful] [cat] and bring it back to me."

And so [Coffee Table] began his journey. He made the whole trip with the [phone] on his head, and only had to restart the journey [thirteen] times, which was not too bad. Then he battled [Jasnah] and won on try number [negative one]. Impressive, no? And finally, he found the [playful] [cat] and brought it back, a journey that took a mere [sixty-nine] years.

"Have I done it?," said [Coffee Table] upon his return. "Am I strong now? Strong enough to become a [dogwalker]?"

"[Maybe]," said [Steris] in a voice that could best be described as [daring].

And in that moment, [Coffee Table] realized the truth. He was, and had always been, [fluffy].

part 15 of me obsessing over this 50 gallon tank LOL

so im 100lbs soaking wet. I can lift around 65lbs-- even up and down stairs, but it's still a mild to moderate struggle.

Most 50 gallon tanks weigh 100lbs.

therefore i have to be able to lift my own weight in exactly 9 days time. :))))) help
