A scoop of vanilla ice cream, topped with a little “chili crunch” oil - salty and sweet, spicy and creamy… it’s great.

I don’t go to McDonalds much any more, but I’d get fries and a vanilla shake to do that with, as a treat!

How’s that any different from today?

(Just kidding, gallows humor)

I think it’s like “vee-shee-swah”?

This one’s my favorite!

Watching a playthrough of the God of War franchise: “who’s this Kratos guy, he seems like a bad-ass…”

Returns home, founds a new religion: “No, see, Ares IS cool and all, but I’m telling you, someone’s going to come along and beat his ass…”

I’m doing MY part!

Haha it’s a lot of meat and potatoes but there are some tasty-looking recipes in it. And quite a few cocktails!

We either gave or received a few:

Sampler pack of flavors from a well-known online ramen place, along with chopsticks and a spoon for chili crisp

Two nice blue glazed ramen bowls with hold on either side to slide your chopsticks through - along with MORE chopsticks, and spoons for broth

A 5-qt stainless steel sauté pan with a lid

Hero’s Feast D&D cookbook

Some interesting barrel-aged coffee beans

A spritzer to most coffee beans so they don’t get too staticky in the grinder

Bam!

“Michael Tuesdays and Thursdays” was funny, but also had some layers to it; a very complicated patient and his therapist, who is writing a book about his care - so not always totally objective, as he has something to gain. And then that therapist also sees a therapist (played by the late, great Ed Asner) who seems to be going senile.

It’s funny, sometimes sad, sometimes very sweet, with a good cast.

There’s just too much… between work, home life details, and trying to pay attention to the state of the world on 20 different fronts, I just don’t feel like I have the bandwidth to be like “gee, I’m going to pick up a new skill today!” I need that downtime to veg on the couch and look at memes, it’s way less exhausting.

That’s a really interesting idea; my kid wants to be a pilot and just discovered flight tracker… I’m going to check out Airspy’s “how to” stuff and see about this as a gift idea too!

Yeah, same! I thought I had a pretty good guess from the context, but “cold camera shoe” is a new term for me. Glad Lemmy has such a great community though, there are some awesome responses in this thread!
