Fishin' in the stream of consciousness (all-purpose, no topic chat thread)

I'm not sure what you mean by a full sized one but I got my sister one that's approximately one inch on all sides for her birthday, and it was galaxy print. I couldn't afford the real thing so it was a knockoff from China - I just searched "fidget cube" on Amazon and scrolled until I found a space print.

Edit: I found the listing and it's actually 1.8 inches - I'm bad at guesstimating measurements. Anyway, it took like three weeks to get here but it only cost six bucks, so. Here's the one I bought if you're interested.

 

Saw this on my twitter feed and thought it might be something @roach might be interested in? It's about spinning and weaving in myths and legends.

Hell yeah! Wait, no! No!

 

Are republicans on drugs? That would explain a lot actually.

 

Thanks inspirobot

 

My full-size is about that big, yeah. the average size or whatever. There's that and then 'minis' which are tiny. My sister found hers and we traded for a minute- I changed my mind on getting a tiny, it's too small for my cripple paws to fidget with comfortably. Thank for the link! If your sis is happy with hers then I'll just get that one and attach the one I have to my bag for carrying.

 

(Also if someone can suggest a decent, pretty spinner I would be grateful as I'm similarly overwhelmed there)

 

Yeah, she's pretty happy with it. I got to play with it a little when she opened it, and it seems well constructed.

Edit: I'd have to look at the box to tell you the brand, but there's a particular brand of spinner sold in gas stations in my area, and they're like eight bucks and good quality. When I'm off work I can let you know what they are. In general I'd suggest not getting an LED one, because they're not balanced as well.

For some reason the city library doesn't have any of the Vorkosigan books. What have they been spending my precious tax dollars on?

 

you could ask for an interlibrary loan and they can borrow it from another library for you to get from them later

 

Taking the name of your sister who is in a coma:

Just about passed out at the grocery store. Low blood sugar + one day post-surgery was a bit too much for me, it seems...

 

Oh no! Are you okay?

 

Yeah. One of the cashiers lent me her chair, bless her. I made it to the checkout line just fine, then the world started going black. She helped me put my groceries into the cart, too.
Got better when I laid on the floor and put my legs up. Munched on something sweet until the paramedics arrived, they brought me home, under the condition that I lie the fuck down and call immediately if my consciousness starts to go again.

Thank you for your concern ::)

 

i forget, wasn't the fourth one something that someone did during the tumblr pseuicides?

 

So I'm updating my mom's Netflix list with stuff she might potentially enjoy. Is Pete's Dragon any good? Not requiring a masterpiece or anything, just an entertaining experience that isn't way stressful or depressing.

(It would be best if it didn't center on a big message about how nature is perfect and humans/industrialism/Western society are badwrong. That sorta leaves a sour taste when modern technology has given you and your family so many more medical options besides alcoholism and death.)
