That was a fascinating read, thank you. It’s so sad the same parallels can be drawn to so many “well intentioned” programs and institution

I’ve been in similar situations before as others have commented; needing to rely on some service in order to have a place to live food to eat, and a chance to get a leg up. Fortunately they weren’t too preachy and respected the diverse backgrounds we all hailed from

So, anyone with an android can let you use theirs and the “find device” app in guest mode. Your info won’t be saved but that option is there for exactly your use case

I was zooming in to look closer and saw there were people standing next to it and got a much different sense of scale

It seemed impressively large and then I realized just how massive that is! It’s gorgeous, thanks for sharing

Feeling Love in My Ass

Oh, wow… Thank you! My mind is blown at the beauty of the area

It’s like when I’ve visited the grand canyon or Bryce or the redwoods. I always wonder what the first explorers thought when they found these natural wonders

This is what came to kind immediately

Something we need but do not know we want

Is that a real photo (I hate how I feel I need to even ask that now.)? It’s gorgeous, I love the contrast between the different formations

Not even that for me; most of the random things I want to add to my “to watch” list aren’t even on a streaming service

You’re making pancakes in a rice cooker? I’m intrigued

I just finished Bob’s Burgers but I was playing a game while the last episode was on and didn’t realize it was the finale…

Just means I need to rewatch the whole thing again!

You can change that on a per-profile basis

This one actually made me snort laugh and I’ve been giggling for a few minutes now

♥️💊

Not sure why you got a downvote for that. The chicken will continue to absorb flavor from the sauce, and it’ll probably keep it a bit more moist as well

Oh no!!! I’ll have to re-read the article 🫤

It isn’t! I don’t remember which article it was, cbs I think (I’ll edit the comment when I find it)

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/moon-landing-spacecraft-lunar-surface-today/

But a detailed assessment of the health of the spacecraft and its payloads awaited analysis of telemetry. Finally, two hours after touchdown, the company reported that “after troubleshooting communications, flight controllers have confirmed Odysseus is upright and starting to send data. Right now, we are working to downlink the first images from the lunar surface.”

They updated the article:

Finally, a faint signal was picked up by a communications antenna in the United Kingdom, indicating the spacecraft had, in fact, survived the touchdown.

“What we can confirm, without a doubt, is our equipment is on the surface of the moon, and we are transmitting,” Mission Director Tim Crain told the flight control team. “So congratulations, IM team! We’ll see how much more we can get from that.”

And then further down:

I never questioned the y but always read it as a G

I haven’t heard of either of those, but I absolutely put some better than boullion in a mug with boiling water to drink. Sometimes I dip toast in it, or a grilled cheese

When I first heard him say the ingredients, my mind thought of molasses and I was like “well that sounds delicious”. I realized my cognitive error shortly thereafter

Yeah

I haven’t been there in a few years but I stopped in recently and I was a bit dumbfounded when they guy burritoing up my food made it as spherical as possible
