I read that as “weirdest holiday” and was going to say National Talk Like a Pirate Day - anyway sorry for the interruption, please carry on.

Dad said we’re getting a sourcebox!

I don’t, I just play the thousands of mp3s I’ve collected over the years.

When Trump isn’t seen in public for days I don’t bother wondering why, it’s just a welcome break from him getting attention.

That’s always been my attitude. Yet the property taxes on the house I’ve lived in for 35 years keep going up based on what somebody else would pay for it if I sold it. Paying tax on the money I make if I ever do sell the house would make sense to me, but until that ever happens I’m being taxed on a number determined by real estate speculators. So what the actual fuck?

Too late. Social media was already the end of truth.

I’m surprised a 1927 handheld fan is so compact and modern looking. I wonder if it was cutting edge.

IF THEN MAYBE...

Yeah but to him it seemed like about a year and a half.

Same Kristi Noem who as governor spent $5 million of S. Dakota’s COVID money on a tourism campaign, saying her state was coping with the pandemic using “personal responsibility and freedom”.

Making your own bread. I always thought it was complicated and time consuming but t’s really dead simple. It’s just flour, water, yeast and salt, plus I add a little sugar to get the yeast going. Only takes about 10 minutes of actual work. The rest of the time is just the dough rising and baking. So you do have to be around but you’re mostly not soing anything. If you want to try it google “no knead bread” and watch one of the many videos. In doing it for a couple years I’ve found that kneading the dough for a minute between the two rise times makes it poof up more, Before eggs got expensive a loaf cost about $1.10 to make, now it’s more like $1.50, still way better than what you buy at the store for 2-3x that.

A friend of mine did it in college, and that was decades ago. Instead of snipping him they put in some kind of little valves that could be turned back on. Later in life he married, had the valves turned back on and had kids, so apparently the system works.

Definitely very echoey in here.

Seems more like an “Ask a copyright lawyer” question.

I mostly don’t do either.

just annoyance

Absolutely. It’s Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start. But you didn’t hear it from me.

When they can do transparent aluminum, I’m in!

edit: yes I know there’s a ceramic material called ALON, which the manufacturer calls transparent aluminum because it contains aluminum oxynitride, but I don’t think that’s what Scotty meant. ALON is about 30-35% aluminum, same as the amount of lead in leaded crystal glass, which isn’t “transparent lead”.
