Banana cream pie.

The bakery we usually buy bread at has had banana cream tarts as one of their desserts of the month, and the sweets case has been a lot more tempting than usual the last several trips. I’m both relieved and bummed they’ll be gone tomorrow.

Project 2025 is a report from a far right think tank, the Heritage Foundation that MAGA aligned groups are all pushing into the news cycle.

There are plenty of centrist, progressive, and/or left wing (the 3 camps that make up democrats) think thanks but those are 3 fairly different paths/goals compared to HF’s message of “lets make a white christian nationalist state.” So it’s easier to for them to build positive polling off the different arguments. The media also doesn’t give nearly the same airtime but extremists because they’re all driven by ratings/clicks.

I have an external DVD-RW on a shelf just in case. Every once in a while I need to bring it out and I wonder if a giant boulder is going to start rolling at me when I grab it.

CBS laugh tracks are like nails on a blackboard to me now.

The most recent delays were due to scheduling not hardware issues, as the article admits despite its headline.

I recognize everything but the first panel.

Same. Popping open an incision is somehow a relief compared to what I was picturing.

Lolcats. I even dabbled in lolcode for no good reason.

I took an Oxygen Not Included (pre Spaced Out) colony to 5000 cycles with almost no time warp. It was still going strong too, I just wanted to switch to the new (at the time) DLC.

Usenet’s is having a minor resurgence, we could be trendsetters.

All the great editors were built on lemon batteries, I thought that was common knowledge. The reason we all turned against Pico/Pine is that UW developed it using potato batteries. Potatoes! Can you even imagine?

The way the news has been going I wouldn’t be surprised if plastic is a candidate. After a little less than a century of rapid development in petrol-plastics we’re starting to figure out the long term effects. But the next 1000 generations may be dealing with the fallout.

If memory serves, 2010 ignited Jupiter by crashing Saturn into it. But you’d actually need about 250 Saturns (or 85 Jupiters) worth of hydrogen to get the job done. A lot of the moons would be within that new super gas giant’s roche limit even before fusion began.

Back where she belongs!

There’s something worse, but only the UK was fully steeped in its horror.

I opened that in a private window so my google account wouldn’t get sullied by its eldritch horror.

This one isn’t true of course, but it still feels like it fits

I haven’t noticed this. I’ll keep my eyes peeled though. We’re both on tchncs so if it’s a replication thing we should both see it.

I use Alexandrite as my frontend if it turns out that it matters.

I came home one weekend while in college and my mom’s car was gone, but there was an unfamilure minivan. When I got inside, did the normal pleasantries, and I asked about the minivan, my mom dropped:

Oh, I hit some black ice on the way to work last week and spun and got t-boned. I woke up to the paramedics shaking me from behind. They had to some in through the hatchback because the car was laying on the driver’s door. Anyway, we’re waiting for insurance before we start looking for another car and they gave me a rental in the mean time.

I had talked to her on the phone in between the accident and my visit and she hadn’t mentioned it. She broke 2 ribs and had a hairline fractured of her foot - the other driver had a mild concussion. So all-in-all it could have been infinitely worse, but still.

I remember going to see The Wizard because it revealed Warp Whistle locations.
