🎵Cat paws... on my shoulder... 🎶 🎶make me happeeeeey. 🎵 but it's hard to type like this.
There is no good reason for us to allow politicians over 70. Look at that drop off! They aren't representative of the majority of our country after 70. I'd gladly give up Bernie if it flushed all of the 70+ out of office. Make politics a young sport, and we promise to address elder concerns.
Got 4 of these hooked up today. No more musty potties. Now to find cheaper refill tablets....
Finally found a way to stop having to take the packaging out of the trash 4 times to double check what the instructions are again.
I'm watching Deadly Class, a sort of assassin university series. It starts out a bit Ayn Rand for my taste, but then you get Henry Rollins and French Stuart show up, so your compass recalibrates from celebrating might-makes-right to the absurdity of it all. Then it turns into a John Hughes marathon.
Solar's currently the #1 power source here in TX right now, so all we have to do is double the capacity, and we can turn off the gas. Well, kill the coal first, of course.
Every day of this fair is Military Appreciation Day and they're all wearing a new urban lawn camo that hardly shows up on camera against green grass. It's super duper effective camo. Here's 4 soldiers in camo hearing a joke that made them all spit take.
I just see a dino wearing a fez with a tassel.
I was freaking out a little that I suddenly developed a drug interaction because it's 3:20am and I'm seriously wide awake. What I forgot was that I took a nap this afternoon... ...so....yeah. Harley's all hiding her face. "Dad! Turn off the lights!" Wait, is she hiding cuz she slipped me a 💊?!
Competing auroras! I actually have five more, but the room gets too bright running four at once.
Are these brother and sister? They just popped up next to each other, and looked to me like pre/post-op photos of the same person.
OMFG! This induction hot plate heated up my grill press so fast that it cracked the cast iron! I could see daylight through the crack before it cooled down. Well shit. I liked that thing!!! Guess I need a thicker one. I mean, I've cracked cast iron before, but usually by dropping, not cooking!
I can only take so much of this Orgasmatron talk! STOP! It's too much!
I picked up a cheapo slotted bread slicer from Aliexpress. Conceptually, it's an amazing thing, but in action... meh. It's plastic and the slots are flimsy, so if you don't cut straight, you just keep bending the guide slats farther and farther, but something like #2 here takes up too much space.
I'm toy with the idea of using different colors for different characters. Have the words pop on and fade as they say each word. Use size for intensity, maybe animate word shaking for emphasis. Kinda the Oompa Loompa karaoke treatment, but ...less.
This little gold bottle makes me happy. It's full of pure capsaicin. Capsaicin is categorized as a neurotoxin, so....
I love these projector thingies, but I really wish the "stars" didn't have such recognizable patterns.
Remember Kryten, the mechanoid on Red Dwarf? President Fukwitt's hand is starting to give me that same kinda vibe.
I have a TV in my bathroom. I watch thru the glass, but it's been "set it and live with your choice" up to now. No changing channels or muting commercials while I condition my hair. I also have a vacuum sealer. Been meaning to try this for quite a while. I should do stuff more often. It's fun.
Let's just slap this "graphic" label on this one. Here's Harley's progress. It's slow going. So many creams and sprays to keep her skin moist. This is why I can't shake my immense burnout at the moment. This is stressful AF for me!
I don't see how to click precise x/y coordinates from the corner or center that I can see, so it's not perfect. The UI definitely could improve a lot, but for a $25 lifetime license? That's damn well spent money. I've been grossly underutilizing this baby!
I'm watching "The Story of Film: An Odyssey" and it's really good, except for one critical flaw. The VO is an Irish film critic, not a voice actor. Every MFing sentence in the entire series has the same cliché Irish cadence. His voice makes my mind wander away. Keep having to rewind. Otherwise 👍.
Buttered corn flavored potato chips? They didn't stop to think about buttered corn chips? This is like hamburger flavored chicken.
Legends is cracking me up. It's an ensemble cast doing undercover work with a lot of emphasis on tips for successfully developing your "Legend," your criminal personality. So much of it is straight up autistic masking tips. An I mean the good stuff. Reaction suppression, burnout recognition...
Glad my girls are snuggling again. Ava (L) has been avoiding Harley (R) since H's toothache back in December when she got a bad case of stank breath, then there was the cone, etc. Ava avoids anything that doesn't smell right. I guess Harley smells normal again.
This capsaicin (pure heat crystals) comes with PPE and for good reason. After combining the crystals with the glycerin, I gave it the toothpick test. Just a dot on the tongue with the tip of the toothpick, and I'm sweating. A whole drop would be ...problematic. No flavor at all, just fire. Perfect.
RTL-SDR has arrived. Currently listening to some David Byrne in the most complicated and nerdy way possible.
