had ice falling directly from the sky onto trees all around, and there are many, breaking branches and even collapsing entire trees, causing power outages for most, including me. drove family into town, over ice covered roads, weaved around fallen branches, trees, power lines, to a cheap hotel, been there for a few days now. will the power please come back on so we can go back home?

My country is being threatened with a hostile takeover by a foreign power.

Also, a little critter, probably a mouse, got inside the wall right beside my bedroom and is keeping me up at night.

Strava will sometimes "tax" up to .01 miles from your total mileage recorded, leaving runners no choice to run that extra distance to round out mileage just in case.

Also, William Gibson's novel "Virtual Light" (audiobook form) is unavailable on both Libby and Audible, leaving the listener to mine reddit threads for bootleg dropbox links that aren't very user friendly in the car.

This thread is going to act as a copy of the irrational hatred thread, if it's not already. (This is a complaint.)

Interesting. Tell me more about this mouse-free utopia you've got going on down there!

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

I hate that (on mobile) the 'new posts' and 'logout' buttons are at the same position on their lists, so that if I hit the cog instead of the magnifying glass and quickly go to press 'new posts' I end up logging myself out

I don’t see a problem here.
