Literally, and according to convention, the sign actually means that it's ONLY for those that identify themselves as "Gender Neutral".

Saw one of these recently; I find this version to be much less "trashy" as it correctly presents apathetically instead of forcefully making an issue out of the debate.

if it were apathetic, the door would open to a mental ward.

Back in the mid-80s, we took a B-52 to Kliene Brogel Air Base in Belgium for an air show. The "Buff" was going to be the biggest thing at the show, so we had to arrive first, and leave last. We had a lot of free time, and spent some of it sampling the local fare.
We were at a restaurant in town and I had to use the bathroom. I was standing at a urinal when a woman walked in, dropped her pants, and sat down on one of the toilets. I'm thinking, holy shitza, I'm in the wrong bathroom. I'm going to be arrested in a foreign country and never heard from again. Then it dawned on me I'm at a standup urinal. Turns out, the restaurant only had one bathroom, and it could service several people of both genders at once. Nobody cared. I suspect if someone made advances on a woman whilst she was doing her business, you'd have been laughed at, then had the crap knocked out of you. During the airshow, I was asked to give the Belgian fighter squadron commander's wife and her friend a tour inside the B-52. I asked the ladies if they wanted me inside, to help them up the hatch, or outside, to push on their bottoms as assistance. They preferred I be inside. I helped the first one in, and then reached down to give the second lady a hand as she put a foot up onto the hatch. There was a loud cheer from the crowd surrounding the airplane. The second lady was in a skirt and had no panties. There are places in the world that are very different from the US. |

From France, at Magny Cours for the GP, these were spread around the campground and speccie areas, they were similar and some lovely shade of green but sat on a deeper base, big step up, you were really on display.
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...bec67634a4.png In the Beausejour campground at Le Mans, come Saturday the crowds had arrived, and the queues outside 'the ladies' were looong, the urinals were along the side wall of 'the gents', with the open door beside us as we took a leak. Due to the queues, the women took over ours, and just walked in, stood in line for the cubicles, nobody (male or female) batted an eye, let alone asked if it was ok. On Champs Elysee, I was busting to go, found a private loo, paid my euros, and stood there sighing with relief, when a young woman came along with a cloth and trigger bottle, and started cleaning the urinal beside me, all part of the service! Aaaahh, la belle France ... vive la difference! |
This 1961 photo is called “The Mob”, and was shot by professional cat photographer Walter Chandoha.
Originally a WWII combat photographer, Chandoha's signature style was filming cats at their eye level. He collected nearly 100,000 cat photographs over the course of his post-war career. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...159486fbc0.png |

There was a time, not terribly long ago, when people were posting screenshots of Speedtest results, in a sort of one-upmanship for bragging rights.
I admit that my entry into this trend is a tad late. This isn't photoshopped or manipulated in any way. It's a Win11 machine that I put online today at work. I'm surprised at how asymmetrical the results are. I would have expected upload and download to be about the same. Not sure if that's an issue with my own internal network config, or if it's a limitation of the hosting server at the other end. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...53e8cbd71a.png |

Earlier this month, several club members and I made the pilgrimage to Flyin' Miata for their annual Summer Camp. They have brought back track days at the local kart track (after insurance issues forced their cancellation in previous years). Our club prez took some video and photos of me out on track and I used Premiere Pro to make a neat slow-motion sequence (note the bonus butterfly fluttering through the frame):
I also used Photoshop to make a collage from a sequence of photos taken in another corner: https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...4433c5caba.jpg |

This is why I HATE US-style dates, especially the numeric form; the rest of the world uses either DD/MM/YYYY or YYYY/MM/DD which is logical, ascending or descending order of magnitude. When reading the above meme date, "the rest of the world" assumes 7 APR 1996 (7/4/1996 Events) UNLESS they know that the author is from the US. I'm a software engineer by trade so US-style dates make no sense at all, they ALWAYS need to be translated into a more sensible format. I used to have a LOT of issues when "carded" in the US, the bouncers initially thought my South Australian drivers license was fake because the DOB was 17/10/YYYY (at least they were bright enough to recognise that there weren't 17 months in the year). QLD drivers licenses now show DOB as "DD MMM YYYY", where MMM is the first 3 letters of the month (probably for the above reason and absolute clarity). Curiously the license start/end periods are in format "DD.MM.YY", where the DD,MM,YY values are numbers. </RANT> |

Sitting here drinking a complementary beer while doing laundry in a random hotel in middle America.
Reflecting on the last 2 months. I've spent only a couple of nights in my own bed. I've got 1 more week on the road, then home for a few week, and back on the road. Started by breaking the boat. Blew a hole in the bottom. Got it back together for a week only to have a race cancelled. Following weekend took a first place both Saturday and Sunday. Broke the gas tank and battery box. And my ankle. Got back in town and immediately flew out again, right into a plant down situation. Then they caught the building & boiler on fire. Been trying to temp in a new boiler for a week. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...159f0f893.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...2dfc7962b5.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...cfdb844905.png https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...429cf50191.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...1680093774.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...c80e6a778c.jpg |
Yay! Ouch! Damn!
I finally understand your screen name. Did you break it in the boat while racing? |
Ugh, no... Twisted it on the dock before the final heat. I was driving in rage. Driving shoes don't have much support.

Over the course of his decades-long career, the late photographer Walter Chandoha created over 90,000 images of cats.
https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...6f22993951.png It was this cat named Loco that got him started. Walter was a World War II battle photographer who had transitioned into advertising. One day he picked up a gray kitten on the streets of New York City in 1949. Inspired by the cat's late-night antics, Chandoha and his wife Maria named him Loco—and it was by photographing Loco that Chandoha began a 70-year career as one of the world's most famous cat photographers. |

Serious post:
For the past three days, there has been only one bun in my back yard when I get home, rather than the usual two. We have predatory birds in the neighborhood, and at least one fox. I fear the worst. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...1f40242986.png |

Everything in the forest eats bunnies. That's what bunnies are for.

And I expect that Bun 2 is probably a pile of hawk shit by this point. There's just something so incredibly Norman Rockwell-esque about yard rabbits in the middle of the city. This is my first experience in owning a yard in over 20 years, much less one which is located in a turn-of-the-century neighborhood within a major urban center, with hundred year old oak trees providing shade over the children playing in the streets and on the sidewalks. My own house predates my grandparents' legally immigrating to Cuba during the Spanish civil war. And I feel a sense of responsibility to be a good steward of this land and its history for future generations after I move on from it. This whole situation (suburban life) is still very novel to me. I do not expect that people who have lived most or all of their lives in "modern" rural or suburban areas will natively understand / empathize. EDIT: And that's ok. I do not mean that last bit as any sort of defamation or insult. I'm keenly aware that my own experience is that of a minority, carrying on the heritage and legacy of some random family in the early 1900s whose names I am still trying to, but may never may never learn, who were a part of building up this country during the heyday of its great expansionist period 120 years ago. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...b2a88a6ca0.png |
Our backyard used to have a least 5-6 squirrels and 3-4 chipmunks at a glance. Then a family of hawks built a nest.
