Minneapolis public works director Tim Sexton says the parking ramp and two surface lots they're using for residents to park in during the snow emergency are called a "snowasis" — like a snow oasis. Mayor Frey just stood behind his guy as the pun happened and didn't intervene at all.

If New York State can get plug-in solar (sometimes called "balcony solar") off the ground, it really seems like somebody should make a solar panel kit that you can hang out of a window like an air conditioner.

One 40 foot cargo container makes a decent tiny house, at 8 feet x 40 x 8.5 or 9.5 tall. 4 make a small house.
Modern container ships carry 24,000 containers, most of them 40 foot. So the volume of 6000 small houses or larger apartments. On each ship.

The same size rectangle covers only the bottom of the cat. Label: Adult cat contains the same amount of crimes but it does not dominate all of their behaviors
Happy Pi Day!
Fake references make Waite’s job as a librarian “so much harder,” she added.
“I expect this on the wider internet, but not in reputable scientific journals,” she told us. “…It’s really worrying.” retractionwatch.com/2026/03/06/l... #medlibs
If you feed your cat Quest freeze-dried cat food: there's a recall because the product contains dangerously low levels of thiamine www.fda.gov/safety/recal...
Sharing for the ratio.
I think size matters less than temperament. A large dog? No problem. A horse? No problem. A moose? No! Problem! A f*ing chimpunk that appears to be on cocaine? BIG PROBLEM.
What?!?
At any given store, your clothing size will fall more or less randomly along a 9-integer range of numbers that mean nothing. If you like something, it will be immediately discontinued. It may or may not survive the washing instructions described on its label.
That shit has never worked. Not from the beginning to the end of time. Bullying your queer kid isn't going to get you a straight one. If you're lucky, it'll get you what James's dad got: a living queer kid who doesn't consider you family and will never voluntarily speak to you again. If you're unlucky, it'll get you what so many families receive. It'll get you a dead queer kid. And yeah, dead queer kids are still queer.

A trans friend is shopping for women’s clothes for the first time and brought me along for moral support.
HER: This is much more stressful than I thought it would be.
ME: It will get easier. Though shopping as a girl is always hard. You either learn to love the pain—
CLERK: *snort-laughs*
Give the skirts an elastic waist, and you don't even have to worry about gaining or losing a few pounds.

Time for this majestic meme again.
“A learning experience is one of those things that says, 'You know that thing you just did? Don't do that’.”
if the tech bros were a little less delusional, they would be making so much money right now by offering to let us pay for the AI-free version of their programs

If you're frustrated about the uncertainty of how much snow that we'll be getting in the next 36-48 hours please know that because of DOGE's budget cuts at NOAA there is a dead zone on the Western Great Plains where weather balloon launches have been cut and very little data is available

Huh. I did not realize that.
