St Louis Fed has numbers for this but they're averages; good starting point anyways and a liberal will probably go awooga at it being a federal reserve bank's data lol.

Average Price: Eggs, Grade A, Large (Cost per Dozen) in U.S. City Average

Average Price: Milk, Fresh, Whole, Fortified (Cost per Gallon/3.8 Liters) in U.S. City Average

Average Price: Bread, White, Pan (Cost per Pound/453.6 Grams) in U.S. City Average

Actually you can go straight to the BLS source (consumer price index released monthly) but the St Louis Fed is probably the easiest place to see all that info at a glance & they even have it for commodities like the global price of uranium!!

Nope. They work the same way they do on twitter - they're meant to be lists of accounts you DO want to see tweets of. People have just curated them as blocklists, which the Bluesky API allows.

what's funny is this is just another Twitter thing that Bluesky just copied. I've been on a list on Twitter called 'Mattress Tweets' for like a decade now and I've seen people on Twitter do things like put you on a list they've created called 'Big Idiots' or something along those lines. Bluesky users have just, for whatever reason, decided this is also worth doing lmao

NO you NEED to vote for the comm to be opened back up for electoralism posts about the election in general or else you're basically voting for it to be confined to the megathread & everywhere else on the site....so you're against me and everything i'm standing for on this site i guess?? please please vote for the comm to be opened, don't waste your vote...

[–] abc@hexbear.net 24 points 5 days ago (3 children)

can't believe there's an electoralism megathread for the election in the ELECTORALISM COMM which should be the one sub happy to take any and every electoralism thread, but every other comm has 100 electoralism centered posts on the daily.

FREE THE ELECTORALISM COMM I SHOULD BE ABLE TO POST MULTIPLE THREADS ABOUT VOTE COUNTS TOMORROW NIGHT INSTEAD OF BEING SUBJUGATED IN A MEGATHREAD angry-place

For example:

  • I'm so tempted to get a print of The Railroad that Leads from Earth to Hell by Milton W. Garnes (https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2014648400/) because it's essentially an 1800 Ben Garrison comic with V being 'Victory for Satan' and X being 'Crossroads of Destruction' lol.

  • Also really adore this lithograph of a waterfall & aurora by Carl Svante Hallbeck. Will most likely get and hang a print of this somewhere as it is cozy.

  • Tell me why I shouldn't get this colored version of the Flammarion engraving hung somewhere in my living room so guests can go 'wtf is that'

  • Wanderings of a Comet...my beloved...

anyways I am sure one of you Hexbears will post something better than these 4 - maybe even some propaganda posters that surpass it. can't wait.

 

I recently moved into a new place & have somehow managed to finally admit to myself that if I hang the 3 framed Frank Ocean posters, a framed Bernie Sanders print (arguably shouldn't since its the 'We All Deserve a Future' one from 2016 and he clearly does not think anyone in Gaza deserves one...), the damn Chapo Pizzagate poster they did back in 2017, and a fucking framed Dream of the Fisherman's Wife ukiyo-e (it was a CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM MY SISTER) on my wall - the next person I invite over to hang out and/or have sex with me is going to leave with the impression that I am your average /r/malelivingspace poster or worse.

And yes, for what it is worth, I do have an equal/greater number of actual pictures taken of me, my friends, and family that are already hung up but I'm not getting a 18x24 canvas of my siblings and I at an amusement park when an 8x10 of the same photo is already arguably too big. So yeah, looking mainly for larger wall-art/posters/etc but it doesn't have to be. It can be as small as a 5x7, provided it is actually worth getting printed/framed.

Public domain/stuff I wouldn't be stealing out of the pockets of a living artist if I printed it myself is preferred - but if you have a suggestion that is actually being sold by someone, feel free to suggest it I'm not adverse to spending money on wall decorations/art.

See comment below for some examples of the kind of public domain/etc stuff I've found and put into the Maybe pile thus far.

Thanks for your service.

to the foolish doomer, it may seem like good things never happen but arguably more good things happen every day than bad. every breath you take, every day the sun rises -- these are all objectively miracles.

 

Don't you feel like a witness in distress from time to time? Is that just the way the roses fade? Do you want to find out? spongebob-party

not even in my top 3 Phoenix songs but its a banger

 

seriously what the fuck i've been to every hardware store within 15 miles searching for this rumored plate. What I really don't understand is why every coaxial wallplate I've come across is 1-gang which would be fucking useless for my purposes.

i spent 30 minutes today showing the poor Lowes employee who dared to walk up to me while I was investigating their aisle of Leviton the wallplate in my possession, the part of the wall I need to cover, and the coaxial cable that needs to be run through it. Sagaciously, this kinda cute man went "why don't you just do the 'build your own wallplate' and make one that size" and I was like 'wow okay what aisle is that' before walking over and realizing the goddamn build your own wallplates didn't even have a coaxial option.

kiryu-pain

i still don't fucking understand why the nomenclature is 'gang' for number of outlets/switches on a plate and I STILL DON'T HAVE A FUCKING WALLPLATE AHHHHHHHH

is my only option really about to be to just drill a hole into this wallplate or get a single outlet 2-gang wallplate and just have the coaxial cable running through the empty space like a straw through a donut....no...surely not....right??

 

so many other good covers of this song (Crash Test Dummies, Joan Jett, etc) but the slide whistle in this one takes it above The Replacements' original version dear god lol

No matter when it came, the wind carried the same thing...Death. But the winds that blew across the green fields of Hyrule brought something other than suffering and ruin.

I coveted that wind, I suppose.

no other incarnation of Ganondorf has ever been this cool. Wind Waker my beloved...

 

sorry to all my canines out there idk if that's derogatory to say but man I love not knowing what day it is, throwing up the contents of my stomach every time i try to get some amount of liquid or food in there, and my back hurting because all I've done for the past 24 hours is violently retch and curl back up for another 45 minutes to an hour in bed before starting the whole thing back over again. (thankfu

anyways i blame my friend for not telling me their roommate and their husband have both been sick for a week, spent the weekend hanging out at their house & only heard "yeah I've been sick for like 4-5 days" from either of them after I woke up on labor day feeling like ass. IF YOU HAVE BEEN SICK FOR A WEEK WHY DID YOU EAT OFF MY PLATE AT TWO DIFFERENT RESTAURANTS YOU FUCK GFDGHTGEHRWQH

CHAT MY THROAT HURTS NOW TOO FROM VOMITING ALL DAY econony

i am going to take a shower now please pray it soothes my throat and/or stomach and/or back thank you

 

The hearts of men are black with corruption and must needs be cleansed..

I call out to the skies.. and tremble as the brilliance of a thousand bolts blinds mine enemies and tears their flesh asunder!

Seven shadows cast, seven fates foretold.. yet at the end of the broken path lies DEATH and DEATH ALONE.

Open your eyes to the darkness and drown in its loveless embrace — the gods will NOT be watching.

 

i just think its extremely funny...especially because the towing company they called has a suspended business license (waow-based) and the police basically went shrug-outta-hecks 'sorry we can't make them give you your car back for free' when people called them lmao

fast food/retail workers across the country, why haven't you told your most hated regulars that they can park their car in your lot & get them towed???

fell to my knees when I went to the artist's site immediately after finding the OP to purchase a print of it...only to discover they don't ship outside of Japan and that someone else asked them if they ever would 2 years ago & they said no......
