spiralsheepI was trying to track down an origin for the popular claim (Tom Cox, Bill Bryson &c) that many English parish churchyards have circa 10,000 bodies buried in them (with an often stated 40,000+ in Haworth), and the parallel claim that the reason visitors step *down* to floor level in many old English country churches (and the walls often visibly continue below current ground surface) is because so many bodies have been interred in the graveyard outside (with soil intermittently added above for obvious reasons). Note: land surfaces in densely populated towns and cities tend to rise more rapidly than in rural areas (except e.g. Venice...) so there isn't any one explanation for every church.

Oct. 24th, 2026 11:02 pmkallowayWell, I was correct about the septic, at least as far as the main tank being full. (And caught it at 'this is way too much gurgling and hmmmmm', and not at horrible backups or anything.) I don't think it should be full this quickly, which suggests a downstream problem. But further troubleshooting, either by myself or professionally, requires the tank to be emptied first. That'll be a call for Monday morning.
This means that boycritter and I are at my place for the weekend, which is fine except for needing to rely on carryout and pizza at the moment. We'll need to do a proper fridge cleanout sooner than later. Maybe tonight coming? I'll also need to make a proper list of things to double up on so I can more easily swap between where I'm at. (Mostly stuff like pitstick, a good comb, etc. + model-making/creative stuff.)
I should go out and clean out the car. (ETA: It is incredibly, incredibly foggy, wow. But car is cleaned out minus stuff to drop off elsewhere.)
I bought a Blokees Transformers blind box earlier in the month. For $5, I got a little TFOne Orion Pax and while he looks like a more involved build than he is (more assembly-toy than model kit), he looks pretty good and was definitely fun to put together. I keep looking at the Saint Seiya blind box assortment + their original Astral Rally IP and being very tempted and will probably start grabbing them sooner than later now. (They have a Mega Man set upcoming, too!)

Blocking / Avoiding User Posts in Shared Communities?
Oct. 25th, 2026 04:33 pmsnowgray posting in getting_startedHi! Quick question, because it seems like the answer to this question is “no,” but I wanted to check and make sure: Is there a way, without adding a browser extension, to block a particular user’s posts in a community from appearing on your reading page? I understand banning someone from commenting and making my own posts private. If Tom and I are in the “Getting Started” community together, and I never want to see his posts, but I do want to see the “Getting Started” community on my reading page, is there a way to do that? It seems like banning Tom from commenting on my posts would not make his posts to the shared community disappear (No shade to all the Toms out there, btw 😉).
If there’s a browser extension for this, that would also be very helpful. Thank you!
