Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now

Never planted any seeds yourself, I see.

It looks like nothing at first.

Getting started is exciting–don’t shit on people’s joy.

He doesn’t give a shit about climate change; he’s going to be dead. He cares about their mineral resources and their strategic location in the event of a war which involves the Arctic. Which he’s likely to be the one to start.

They may be inconveniently small, but at least there’s the one thing going for them.

My hands are exactly 6 inches long from the base of the palm to the tip of my middle finger. I use them to measure things all the time. Very handy.

My stepmother does this with trees. She’ll see a tree with a wide trunk and guess how old it is, then measure it and look up how old it’s likely to be based on its circumference.

I’d just like to point out that there is no “taste of fish”. Different species can taste very different from one another.

Cod is the most popular among people who otherwise don’t eat much fish because it is versatile and light on flavor. Salmon is one of the more flavorful fish, so I’m not sure what was up with the salmon you had. Mackerel is very flavorful (the oily fishes in general are), which you may or may not like. Sole or flounder are also popular among the lighter flavored fish, and easy to cook. You might like them battered and fried. You should try fresh tuna as well.

I also am a big fan of sole a la meunier (with butter, parsley, lemon, and capers). I’d also recommend trying teriyaki salmon. I like to make fish chowder with cod. Mackerel I tend to make shioyaki style (while baked with a bunch of salt, served with lemon or ponzu).

I’m sure it depends on where you live, but in my area, those outdoor tiles last about a year, maybe two. Mine are growing mushrooms and maple seedlings as we speak. Time for a replacement. To be fair, it is very damp here.

This is so disturbing.

Illinois 9th District has only been represented by two people since 1965

Jesus fucking christ. Term limits, please. And stop relying on longevity in congress to choose who holds the most powerful positions.

Fake but amusing.

Hellmann’s/Best Foods for mayonnaise.

They are the best and they are worth it. Practically a BIFL item in every case.

Out here in Seattle, if you give your two weeks notice as a tech employee to Amazon, and you tell them that you’re going to Oracle, they’ll just send you home that day. Probably not every team/manager, but it’s a thing.

To be fair, this started with millennials. We’ve known we’re fucked for many years now. But we didn’t grow up with it the same way that these kids did. We thought we had a future for a little while.

That’s about what I expected.

I tried to buy an ostrich egg once. I was visiting some friends in one of the Carolinas and somehow or other saw that there was a small farm which was only a little out of the way going home that sold ostrich eggs. Long story short, I ended up at some creepy house in the dark and did not go up to ask for ostrich eggs.

I’ll look them up, thanks.

If not for the TSA claiming every colloid is a liquid…
