I made a quiche tonight and I made the classic blunder of overfilling it, and a smarter person than me would've put a sheet pan under the quiche to catch any drippings, but I'm a fucking moron so now my stove is just full of burnt eggs.

This is a quatastrophe.

Soldiers at the Bass Pro Shops pyramid in Memphis, TN.

We are less than two weeks away from Nuggets basketball.

This is our year*

*It's probably OKCs year, and frankly decade, but we could legit win 65 games this season and we took em to 7 last year so anything's possible!

I grew up in Texas but somehow didn't discover chilaquiles until my 20's. Now I cook 'em all the time.

They're easy so the effort : reward ratio on a Saturday morning is absolutely off the charts.

I think they're best with some spicy diced chicken thighs, but they're also great with no meat.

God I'm so fucking pumped for EUV.

EUIV is my most played Steam Game at 1002 hours. I doubt I'll put quite that much into the sequel, just because being an adult means I have less time than I used to, but it'll almost surely be in the hundreds of hours.

I'm such a fucking crank about public transit. Any time the subject comes up, even tangentially, I just can't help but launch into a long tirade about all the ways it works and doesn't work here in Dallas and what needs to happen to fix it.

I'm sorry, ok. I have Strong OpinionsTM about it!

[buying a pumpkin] One scary watermelon, please

of the moral conundrums you will be presented with, as an adult, "stop buying these specific children's toys" is like. the easiest possible

The new rugby player welfare rules are genuinely groundbreaking. I couldn't be more in favor.

I've tried playing D&D while watching a Nuggets playoff game and it resulted in me not enjoying either. Just watch the game. Especially if you're not a serial flake your party will understand.

My team all has to come into the office a couple days a week, and I always ensure, sneakily, that those are my least productive days. Schedule lots of meetings, run long slow processes, etc.

When management runs their little reports I want them to know that we're better off working from home.

Carney won entirely on the basis of anti-Trump sentiment and he's already kissing the ring and begging for scraps.

Absolutely shameful.

Kim Jong Un in giant pants.

Oscar Issac looking at some kind of electronic tablet.

Oscar Isaac in giant pants.

I will never vote for this guy and I am not alone.

Dems better pick another candidate cause this bigoted shithead is DOA.

He blocks it like 12 feet in the air off the backboard so hard it functions as an outlet pass that leads to Spurs fast break points.

Wemby just does this kind of thing. It's unreal to watch.

It really do be like that.

There is no second marshmallow.

"You are doing anti computer racism"

The question everyone thinks about but no one wants to ask out loud is this: if, say, JB Pritzker ordered his National Guard to mobilize against ICE disappearances, would they listen to him, or would they listen to Trump? And no one wants to ask the question, because everyone knows the answer.

I love my calorie counting app. Today I want to be a piece of shit and eat pizza and fried chicken and my app told me exactly how much I needed to exercise to fit both into my budget, so I started the day with a nice long walk, which was itself enjoyable, and now I'ma eat what I want.

Love it when the CEO of the social media site I fled to in order to escape Musk's insane ravings lashes out with shit like this. Very cool.

Take the weekend and unplug. You need to stop trying to post-through-it.

my white hands on either side of a gaping hole in a pumpkin, as though they are spreading it apart. my hands are slightly slick from pumpkin guts, shining in the sun

happy halloween

Stewing up a big batch of vegan posole. If we didn't live in Satan's own armpit this would be a wonderful Fall meal, but as it is, things like posole or chili are just foods you eat cause you like the flavor, not for their warming qualities.

Trump obtains another settlement as YouTube agrees to pay $24.5 million Alphabet settles with Trump instead of fighting lawsuit over January 6 suspension.

would love to hear more congressional democrats say "should we win power next year we are going to treat every one of these as bribes and act accordingly" arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job. AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

This whole section really.

Just fixed a bizarre hardware issue that stumped my corporate IT team for like a week.

Thanks one random guy on StackOverflow who had the same problem as me like 4 years ago and took the time to write about it!

i would like for the elected officials to do their jobs and stop this bullshit fucking forthwith and not rely on my kind hearted but dim theatre kid neighbors to stop a ground invasion through the power of improv

Went to a Y2K themed birthday party last night. Amazing time was had by all, but man it brought back how much I HATED high school.

Having zero agency was miserable, and the social pressure was totally unrivaled in adulthood.

Truly a wretched time.

was just at the gas station buying milk for my kids and when I noticed a guy in his early twenties gearing up for the night with two red bulls and a pack of cigs I was briefly caught in a proustian reverie so deep the cashier probably thought I was on drugs

I think it's time to get back into DotA 2.

Without rugby I've got no outlet for my natural competitiveness. I wanna crush my enemies, dammit.

It's been like a decade since I last played so hopefully my MMR doesn't carry over. I'ma be real bad for a while while I shake off the rust.
