Friday Ephemera (802)
The machine uprising, day 11. || How to catch a human. || An attempt to correct untoward tilting. || “I love me,” says she. || When you have a CT scanner and a whole bunch of animals. || I think there may be something under the house. || Incoming. || Suboptimal scenario. || Big thing bring green. || Moral support, I’m guessing. || It takes a lot of spray. || I believe some physics occurred. || Rise of the Vegetarians, 1972. || New Orleans jollity, 1962. || The Chinese earthquake-detecting seismoscope. || On the making of Jaws. Oddly, the trained shark idea didn’t pan out. || Determined to make things worse, a possible series. || The progressive retail experience, parts 695, 696, 697, and 698. || Question asked. || But could be thinner. || And finally, for those who missed it in the comments.

“The Great Replacement is a hoax!” they said.
“The Great Replacement is here, and it is a GOOD thing!” they say.
So even further to the Bloody buttons and other BS discussion…Don’t know who needs to hear this but if you have a fancy-shmancy electronic Yale combination lock on your home, your STR, or an STR you are or may be staying in…they can, automagically just decide to unlock themselves due to some BS feature called “passage mode”. They apparently think this is a good idea. Some people even seem cool with it. How one can be comfortable with a door lock that just unlocks itself is another mystery. I don’t see much concern looking for links but there is no reason a door “lock” should do this. Took me a good bit of hunting around to find a post pointing out this problem.
