Web Find of the Day

I saw it over on Cheezburger, but I’m going to link directly to the source. Two very heartfelt cartoons in Jenny Jinya’s “Loving Reaper” series, where the Grim Reaper comforts pets who have passed:

Make sure the box of tissues is full and close at hand.

It’s been around since the end of September, but I only found it yesterday.

The Far Side is now online! Read “A Letter From Gary Larson” to hear why he’s returning, and the Cheezburger website mentioned something about there may be new comics in the future. It may turn out to be a bit like the newest return of Bloom County where Berkeley Breathed releases a comic when he wants to, with no pressure of a deadline.

For a VERY limited time only, from 5:00 pm today Central Time through approximately the next 24 hours, is the Prairie Home Christmas Show that was filmed on December 18th. It can only be shown its entirety for this amount of time for licensing reasons. It’s unedited and the two parts total 3.5 hours with intermission. Part one - Part two

Further details about the show and broadcast are available on Garrison’s website.

 
Garrison Keillor’s YouTube channel has his daily podcasts of The Writer’s Almanac, and if you keep scrolling down, there’s some videos from when he resumed public appearances and several from earlier on.

Those of you who would like to do DIY on cars, but lack the tools and knowledge, can now try your skills on a simulator for free.

This has the added advantage that you really can mess around without fear of breaking something.

I have a handicap with this site - I still think in terms of ignition coil, distributor and carburettor… need to overcome that hurdle and see if I can also do modern cars with a CAN bus.

Gonna check out that simulator! I would like to build my own car for real. Garage space is a problem, and kits being very expensive is another. Also, I’m not a paint & body guy. Mechanicals I can work with, but paint & body is more artisan work, and I’m far from artistic.

Same here. I don’t have a garage yet, so said simulator with all its doodads will do just fine until I can afford the Real Stuff™

I’m more of a carburetor and dumb car guy, never had a chance of working on a car with a CAN bus yet.

I sometimes read a site called Quora. Most often it’s a load of rubbish, but sometimes there’s a gem.

In response to the question: “Do parents have a better taste than kids?”
Someone wrote

Yes. Their age gives the meat a deep, rich flavor. The kids, not being ripe, has the weak tast of veal.

I needed a good laugh this morning.

Whenever someone asks me if I like kids I like to say “Yes, but I can’t eat a whole one by myself”.

A friend of mine says that whenever he sees (or someone mentions) a cat… including ours. :roll_eyes: :smile:

He’s not orange-furred and short, is he? Hails from the planet Melmac?
