Canada was watching, pulled a 180 and didn’t elect their own Trump Wannabee.

Jammy soy eggs

Extra dehydrated veggies

Dollop of gochujong or some other hot sauce

Sprinkling if sesame seeds or crunches up nori

We’ll see if they stay up or if it was a minor swing due to, I don’t know, short term short supply. I was reading they are an interesting bellweather because of their very short shelf-life and west-to-east shipping path.

They’re one of my favorite lunches while hiking. Good fats. Easy. No refrigeration needed.

I wish. They must pay well given the number of content creators that advertise for them.

You read multiple sources and look for the facts, not declarations of victory or failure.

Like how Milei is, by his own statements, anti-union, anti-LGBT, anti-pension, anti-abortion, anti-vaxx, pro-military/intelligence industry, pro-genocide in Palestine, and pro-unregulated crypto. All of which I don’t like personally; I’m not an anarchocapitalist. I don’t really care if one financial metric goes up or down that some will hail as “success” if the lives of so many are made significantly worse in the exchange.

They doubled over the last ~week at my grocery store. Typically 88 cents to $1, today $1.99.

“May you have the day you voted for.”

Not shortages yet, but steep price increases.

I have dropped some items from my normal grocery list because of ramping prices. Eggs and avocados were first, but it’s expanding to other things now.

I have some hobby projects I want to do that would require buying new hardware; those prices are going up so that is on hold until further notice.

I work from home 95% of the time and do much of my evening/weekend socializing and hobbies within walking distance of my home, so I could drop my driving and fuel consumption very low.

I bought a $30 renter-friendly bidet kit so I am way less exposed to another toilet paper shortage.

I was going to buy a new car, probably a RAV4 internal hybrid, within the next 1-2 years but that is completely up in the air now. My current car is functional, just old, and I would continue driving it rather than swap to an inferior and dangerous American car like Tesla.

Buy less, budget conscientiously, wait to see what happens. Exactly what Trump doesn’t want but which anyone with half a brain cell knew would happen.

My two cents.

If it’s not so terrible that you dread every day, keep it and the paycheck while you look for another job. As soon as you have a new job lined up, quit.

You seem concerned about making it easy on them, maybe help them out a few weeks to soften the blow. Don’t bother, you’re taking up their time and training resources that they could be spending on the next person who is going to replace you.

Be professional in how you quit, but don’t be a doormat. Remember this company could lay you off at any moment and the “best” company will only be professional. They aren’t your friends. Match that energy.

acknowledges the term was made to troll LGBT people

Why can’t we have a good faith conversation on this?

K, sure.

Knot tying. Most half-hitches tied in 60 seconds or fastest time to tie all six of the “scout knots”.

I assume 99% don’t know them and I am reasonably quick at them, I could hold the record for at least a day or two.

Zero.

If someone I know asks me for money, I’m at least asking them “what’s up? Everything ok?” before giving them money.

Then after that, still probably zero because I don’t have any cash in my wallet atm. So hopefully I can help in some other way, give them a lift somewhere, cover a meal, something.

Websearch for “the bripe”.

I like the Aeropress. Simple and versatile.

Dude, one of the stated objectives of Artemis 3 is to be the first to land a woman and a person of color on the moon. That isn’t happening with Trump in office. Mark me, he’ll cancel it someday to make big headlines and to draw attention away from something even more insidious. Feckless career politicians and media personalities will give him a complete pass because the mission is behind schedule and over budget, without pressing on why that is or how Trump/DOGE have made it exponentially worse.

Homework assignment for a film class: design this vignette in the style of various directors, from Cronenburg body horror to Wes Anderson grief-filled comedy and color palette.

Pretty sure it was millipedes. Lots of little legs that go down below the body, versus fewer legs that stick out to the side. And they smelled when squished.

I acclimate to to the heat. I’ve lived in the South with no AC at all; 80F with humidity control is cushy by comparison.

Summer: open windows until heat and/or humidity causes concern for my electronics.

Winter Day: 68F Winter Night: 58F

Childhood spring one year, conditions were perfect for millipedes. The basement floor was covered in them. I mean covered with the floor barely visible.

They weren’t damaging or dangerous, just disgusting. My dad put on his outdoor shoes and just walked around in tiny steps smashing them. He walked for hours. Then scraped them up with a plastic snow shovel and threw them outdoors for the birds to go wild. Then walked some more.

No other spring since has resulted in those sorts of numbers. It was interesting to see my dad’s reaction: the disgust and fascination and satisfaction. God help him if he ever discovers pimple popper videos and the like, we would lose him to the algorithm.

I still have an account but haven’t actively used it since 2016/2017. I log in once or twice a year to see what distant contacts have reached out so I can redirect them to channels I actively monitor.
