A photo of four small metal tools in a small plastic tray. One is a hexagonal cylinder with a rectangular slit cut in it, and two cylindrical arms sticking out of each side at a 90 degree angle. Two in the middle are metal cylinders with screwed in ridged bases and narrow clip-like tops. The last one is a small screw-actuated clamp that clamps around an open diamond shape at its tightest point.

I'm organizing a bunch of tools that belonged to a family member who passed away, and I'm having a Cow Tools moment with these tiny ones - each about an inch long.

The one on the right seems to be a clamp of some sort, but for what? The others are total mysteries. Anybody know what they are?

Now I'll never be able to name my kid Markwayne.

A minor league hockey team had a wiener dog race. Zero thoughts, just vibes and absolute chaos. A thing of beauty

I know my company isn't going to upgrade my computer and pay a subscription for this. Guess I'm safe with 11 and just constantly turning copilot back off.

When I first joined, I thought both you and @jcsalterego.bsky.social were employees. You because you were so invested. Jerry because I didn't imagine anyone could post that much and have another job.

You sit in that car until someone sensible puts down some salt.

Pop-up Video is the only one I know. God, I miss it. Music videos and dumb little facts? Perfection.

Two shiny rolls with salt on top.

A single salt bread on a purple plate. It has a number of layers and large pieces of salt on top.

I made salt bread!
I ate it too fast and forgot to get a photo of the hole in the center. Next one!

A very close- up photo of a cattle dog. His mouth is slightly open, and he is facing to the side. He looks like he is smiling encouragingly.

They are so good. We had them growing wild at our last place. I don't think I've seen them for sale. You just have to luck upon them.

The only acceptable reason to wake up Simon is to give him treats.

I can tell he's very proud of you.
