Good design also accommodates the nasty ones I suppose.

@alienghic

It would need a handle like a broom sticking up so you don't need to touch the trash just to move the stool.

Maybe with a bike grip, like the rubber ones on vintage kids bikes.

@llewelly

I legit do not know what "super duty" is supposed to mean at all? What are they trying to say?

@llewelly

"SUPER DUTY"

Is so ... child-like. Doesn't any of this trigger any feelings of embarrassment?

I'm going to put: "UBER SHELPPER" on my shopping cart.

Design Challenge:

In the tiny kitchen I must have TWO objects on the floor that I trip over:

1. Waste Basket (Because it's an apartment it's like those at the office, small and simple a bucket.)
2. step stool (because i am short)

It seems to me that this could be somehow made into one object. A garbage can I could stand on.

Yes I could turn it over but I think you can see how that is not ideal.

Any designers out there looking for their big break?

"SUPER DUTY"

more like super dooty

TBF I have noticed they have commercial plates, but they were still double parked on a NYC residential street. Just don't ever do that.

Until it mauls your kid.

That’s who gets hit most often— kids in driveways.

This is an interesting development in home security for New York City. In the 1980s having your stereo or television stolen from your apartment was a more common crime. The idea of someone breaking into a house to steal electronics today seems ludicrous. (Nonetheless my mom *still* asks if my apartment is secure enough because I have “all those electronics”)

Frankly, it seems more likely someone would break in to take a shower and have a nap: a hotel costs more than electronics.

Here is something that mystified me about Manhattan I have only recently puzzled out:

These big padlocks that decorate the fences and tree wells on the streets with brownstones. They are key safes: these allow housekeepers, air bnb, repairmen and estate agents access by a combination— there are more and more of them every year.

I feel like there ought to be a better solution— still this beats using some door lock app.

I am an adult. I’m short, yes, but this is ridiculous. The hood on this truck is higher than my shoulder. It forms in 90° angle with the ground. hideous! There’s no way they could see me in the crosswalk.

They were double parked. Even with the engine off it felt unsafe to walk in front of this thing. I would be so embarrassed to drive a car like this if I were not … plowing snow?

cave ants ... implied!~

@scott @kzeta

I use an email server I made from an old payphone and a paperclip. Anything less would be ludicrously insecure.

Get on that feline #gridset

* sleep in, sleep often, aim for 2/3s sleep time
* when awake? Always be closing. Treats and pets are on offer. The cat who asks gets.
* train daily with bottle cap or stuffed mouse
* maintain a Position of Power. Find your throne and occupy it!
* never let a lesser being cut your nails without a struggle.
* catnip is a performance enhancer and NOT cheating.
* sell crypto/NFTs for kibble. No one knows what it is so its all upside.
* who is up at 3am? YOU.

@DrOinFL

You leave neanderthals out of this. They did nothing wrong.

@iBlame

I love it when their minds are working in overdrive like this and you can just see it.

He knows it MUST have something to do with the KNOB. Somehow...

@PalmAndNeedle

Yes, she keeps extra mass in the same pocket dimension where she puts her cat toys.

“Don’t be part of the problem
be the *entire* problem.”

There are some things to complain about with .social but people will complain about anything here. For example that I am posting this from a mac and "only" using firefox.

Don't let it bug you too much. If you feel that .social works its a fine way to participate.

I suspect there is a high correlation between thinking "social media is so terrible" and being very much bombarded by the very worst nonsense, scams, influence campaigns, and time sinks.

I tend to say "I love social media, I use it every day and I learn so much from it. It makes my life better."

People look at me like I have five heads.

One more hurdle to having these conversations is how many people will say "oh I don't use social media. It's so awful."

How do you know?

And it's mostly true. They don't use it often, but well they were planning the garden center picnic on Facebook, your nephew uses it... a dozen other things.

These social media users don't really see themselves as social media users, No! that is some young person taking selfies or photos of their food.

They can't be in danger of being influenced. Right?
