Sometimes a "wandering trader" come up to you in Minecraft and it's very annoying since he has llamas that make noise and can get in the way. Most players just kill him.

It would be nice if Minecraft added a "goodbye" button that would cause him to leave. Or even a "go away button"

All the murder is both funny and it does not sit well with me.

@futurebird They wander into/under my house on occasion… So annoying to have llamas in your floorboards.

Mike Johnson will make crime illegal. I don't know why they say it's a "do nothing" congress. That's a pretty big deal don't you think?

@futurebird Reminds me of the signs around here that say “illegal fireworks prohibited”…

Oh, right, I finally finished this wasp drawing. It's a small local wasp, Ancistrocerus adiabatus cytainus.

There are AI or otherwise programmatically generated "How To" pages. This one on shortening your dishwasher hose has an interesting choice of image...

If your hose looks like that the "shortening" isn't going to go very well.

@futurebird It’s always a good idea to have a drain snake handy.
