@azonenberg@ioc.exchangeNothing like opening up a brown bubble mailer that shows up on your front porch and finding a not-obviously-labeled ziploc of white powder inside lol.
Had to flip it over and poke a bit to find the sticker and confirm it was in fact the 100g of potassium bitartrate I was waiting on

@blackknight95857669@social.linux.pizzaBeen another eventful week around the "new" house. Got the shed built. What a pain in the ass metal sheds are. This one was no different. Shout-out to whoever decided it was a great idea to plastic wrap every painted panel like they were PC case panels. I hope you stub a pinky toe every other day for the rest of your life.
With that done, next task was to put up the shelf frames I brought with me. Was able to get 3 shelves cut out of the former back porch ramp plywood. Got 3…

@shriramk@mastodon.socialThere is no way that thing's real name is "front porch". Anyone know what it's *actual* name is? This is NASA, it's gotta have a totally nerd name, with abbreviation.

@rainerzufall_le@mastodon.social"A woman was watching from her porch. Someone ran up and addressed her: “Ma’am, we’re out here defending the neighborhood against ICE. We need barricade materials. Is there anything in your yard you wouldn’t mind parting with?” She nodded urgently and showed them to her backyard, offering a flower bed, an old couch, and a lawn chair. Three people helped to carry these out and add them to the barricades."

@paulbusch@mstdn.caDaughter measured the snow accumulation on her back porch. Only 61cm. This is an amazing photo because I didn't think my son-in-law had any tools.
@izzychambers@vivaldi.netIzzy thinks it’s too cold and the snow is too deep, even though a few minutes ago she was insisting that we needed to go on a walk. Got her down to the sidewalk, but we have 7 or 8 inches of snow and sleet is still coming down. She ran back up the stairs and stood on the porch shivering. #DogsOfMastodon
