I am not a tech person, but I cleaned out my secondhand PC today, and it took *hours* with the sheer amount of dust accumulation. The fans were nearly overloaded with it!! Does a clean PC run better / faster than one filled with dust? Or is it more a matter of keeping the fans running easily? Or something else..? Idk, maybe I imagined it, but it seemed to boot *much* faster after cleaning. Could be wishful thinking!

I'm in need of more images ~~to steal~~ to collect. Please post your favorites! Make sure you put questionable/NSFW behind spoilers, please. Also, where do your images come from? Mine came mostly from 4ch×n, D×scord, and R×ddit (which I no longer use). Here's some of mine:     My absolute favorite:

Every time I go outside to my yard, my elderly neighbor comes out and tries to talk with me. Every. Single. Time. Without fail. I go out to relax and do gardening and yard work, and his presence makes me increasingly anxious & leaves me feeling particularly uncomfortable/unsafe. He is dealing with dementia, and has become increasingly vulgar and outspoken, and even made some vastly inappropriate remarks about his wife & my other neighbor *while my child was right there.* His wife is tired. I know this. Christ, I would be, too. He was kind of insufferable even before the dementia got bad (think him talking about his shitty political views), but, god.. I am *so* tired of babysitting him while I try to unwind *in my own yard.* He'll talk over the fence or simply waltz past it and follow me around while I try to do stuff or as I'm trying to talk to my kid. One thing I know is this: *do not piss off your neighbors*, because, chances are, you will probably be living next to them for a looooong time. What can I do? I just want peace without feeling like I'm being accosted.

Let me recommend: Bill's Hot Dog Stand in Ypsilanti. It's a drive-in. Open your window and eat in the parking lot. Get their dogs with everything on it + a mug of root beer. If you don't eat dogs, at *least* get the root beer!!! I don't even *like* root beer that much, but I now *dream* about the root beer from Bill's. Absolute reasonable prices, too: got 4 dogs & 2 mugs of root beer for around 10$ total! What's *your* recommendation for unexpectedly good food in Michigan?

The noise scared my lizard something frightful! Everyone was okay and no one was badly injured. Except for a patch of my lilies. But they're pretty resilient.

Taken between June 5th - June 10th, 2024, Michigan. Not a professional photo in any sense. Apologies for that. But I saw this grumpy-looking little guy/gal in a bush and took a photo from a distance away. Wanted to share it, even if it's not as good as any of the other photos posted here. One of the babies I've been observing since the nest was built above my deck. It was fascinating to see them grow up & finally leave the nest! All 4 are finally gone. I wish them the best in their growth and hope they are able thrive safely.

My cat passed away around 2 years ago now. I miss him a lot, but just haven't been financially stable enough to adopt another. Could you post nice stories and funny things about your cat(s) and talk about how much you love them? Thank you!

Refrigerator is a Frigidaire LTFR1832TF0. Leak came from the front-right side. I did not notice any temperature fluctuations, but I also don't notice much of anything. It still seemed cold when I unplugged it, though! Checked the drain pan & it seems dry? Not overflowing or anything. No water on inside of refrigerator. Anyone have any idea what might be going on? I'd really appreciate it, as no one can take a look for another 3 days. I don't want my food to spoil, as I don't have a lot of money. I just want to know if it'd be safe to plug it back in! Thank you. **EDIT:** had my BIL stop by to take a look. More than likely it's refrigerant. The compressor was fine, but one of the lines on it would not get cold, so that's that. Probably a leak in the line, more than likely from a failed seal. The cost to refill the refrigerant / repair the line / seal would cost waaaaay more than a new fridge, unfortunately. Thanks, y'all. Appreciate the help and advice.

Seagulls are protected under the "Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918". This means that it is illegal to capture, kill, or keep a seagull in your home (unless you have a special permit). So, no: you *cannot* go into the Meijer parking lot, yoink a seagull from the flock, and take it home. *This PSA has been brought to you by an argument with my son during a grocery pick-up.* Thank you.

I head up a small community for fans of a niche indie brand. The founder is doing an event in Japan with an exclusive item for people who attend! I was so excited and was looking into booking a plane ticket to go! However.. turns out that Japan has a law that *absolutely forbids* stimulant medication in the country. And, no, I don't really want to upend my regimen of 8 years and risk going on a new medication for the trip. I'm really shattered, as I wanted to attend this cool event and meet up with other enthusiasts. It really hurts to be barred from an opportunity like this. I hate ADHD. I really do.

My recommendation is a small thing: a trashcan with a swinging lid! Covers the trash, reduces smells, will prevent trash tetris (sometimes), and very good instead of foot-pedal opening trash cans or trash cans put in a cupboard. Another thing are toothbrush holders that stick to mirrors. Might jog that memory of needing to brush your teeth! Wall-mounted keyholder by your door, too. Anything I put on a flat surface will eventually be lost or covered with more junk & papers. My keys are WALL-ONLY!!! What item(s) have helped you with *your* struggles?
