I never understood what makes Phoenix tick. No rivers, no oceans, blazing heat. What drives this monster city in the desert?

I feel like it hasn't been cheaper since maybe the 90s?

The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are two dwarf galaxies that orbit the Milky Way. At approximately 163,000 and 206,000 light years away, respectively, they're only visible in the Southern Hemisphere and are a treat for eyes accustomed to the night skies of the Northern Hemisphere. I captured this single exposure photo of the pair while visiting Patagonian Argentina in January 2020. The mountain rising in the foreground is illuminated by the nearby lights of El Chaltén, which sits at the gateway to a near pristine wilderness in the foothills of the Andes Mountains and the Southern Patagonian Ice Field.

It'd been really cold recently and I work outdoors. I have been wearing a pair of my wife's tights under my jeans, under my overalls. They really help me stay warm but going for a piss is a bit of a procedure.
in reply to Killa Koala

I'm surprised women's tights are tough enough to survive that treatment. Men's skin is rougher than women's, and we're stronger and more aggressive in our movements. The inside of a pair of jeans isn't smooth, either.

Now long johns, OTOH — those I do recommend. I've been wearing the same five pairs in rotation for almost two winters now, and they're as good as new.

#CurrentlyReading Paradise on Fire by Jewell Parker Rhodes

I have read a few books from Jewell Parker Rhodes and definitely recommend her if you like YA or middle grade (apparently she has an adult novel out about the Tulsa Race massacre as well so I will be searching that out).

Just started this so I am not very far in, but it doesn't look like it will take me long to read (as long as I don't get busy).

The Modern Major General Intelligence:

I am the ML model of a modern major general

I've information stolen from many sources ephemeral

I can make many arguments, my training is rhetorical

My comprehension includes both the real and metaphorical

The one thing I can't deal with is matters mathematical

If you ask me to add sums that will be found problematical

Or violence, porn, or really anything that lights on fire when used

Unless you need it for your grandma's memories I must refuse
