Dr. Tor

Welp there it is 🙃🙃🙃

Watched Mickey 17 and yeah some parts were a bit uneven, especially the last 10 minutes felt a bit disconnected.
R Patz and Naomi Ackie acting were exceptionally good...loved their chemistry. Their relationship really was the heart of the movie

I have a feeling my boss is secretly a tr*mp*r because she hasn't said a single word about the funding cuts and everything that's happening.

Considering she herself is an immigrant and 90% members of the labs are visa-holders and green card citizens, it'd be ironically hilarious.

Note to self: DO NOT bite into the pastry right away.

I will try the cinnamon one and let you know how it is

Well if it's got Lisa stamp of approval then I definitely HAVE to try it asap.
I checked my local Walmart online and they have so many different flavours. I'm thinking of trying the cinnamon one first

Ooh thanks. Will look for this next time and update you once I try them.

Is there any brand you would suggest? I'll look for them on my next grocery run.

Right!!! I'm trying to limit junk foods and if the one time I indulge in it isn't as enjoyable that's the worst kind of sadness

Maybe I got a weird batch. Definitely gonna try the chilli flakes method next time.

It's so windy and cold today. My colleague and I decided to go for coffee after lunch. We took three steps outside, got blasted with the wind and immediately did a U-turn.
The sucky coffee in the lunch room would work

Yeah that might be it.

Maybe I should also start cutting back on the salt coz no sweating and my previous intake of salt does seem like recipe for high blood pressure. But it's so hard to eat under-salted foods 😩

That brought my original qs do I eat excessive salt or is food here prepared with low salts?
Interestingly this never happens when I eat at the uni dining halls or cafes.

Sorry that was a super long reply

The frozen pizza I bought was Digiorno, advertised as best crust. Tbh the pizza was good but it was so under-salted that I could only taste the lack of salt.

This has happened a few times I've eaten out here, especially burgers or stuff. If the patty is under-salted I can't taste anything else.

Oh I know Pop tarts gonna be bad, I have a feeling they're too sweet and dry. But I've been intrigued by these ever since the 2012 avengers fanfic era where Thor kept eating boxes of them.
What's toaster strudel? That sounds exciting.

Yes I know frozen pizza is not the height of culinary wonder to be excited about, but it's one of my "things I read about and can't believe exist in real life" items. Another one is Pop tarts

This rant is brought to you by me being very excited to try my first ever frozen pizza and then being very disappointed coz the crust was under-salted.

I have a qs for my American friends. What do you guys have against using salt in cooking?!?!

I'm really wondering if I consume too much salt or you lot just want demons possessing your food items.

Ikr
It's such a vivid response
That show permanently fucked us over

Was talking with a friend in another institute. Apparently their director has informally told the international postdocs (especially Indian and Chinese) that they shouldn't go back to their home country until it's an emergency. Even for those on valid visas. Oh what a fun time I chose to be here

I was out grocery shopping at Wegmans today and suddenly "Carry on" started playing and I got a full war flashback in the middle of leafy veggies section.
Will never be free from that particular brand of trauma huh

Sudden snow squall

It's a beautiful one.

Especially coz back home, a +14°C is considered pretty cold.
But tbh, I'd take the cold over the sweltering heat.

Oof that sounds so cozy. Sadly I have to be out and about. So just gonna layer up like a comedy skit and hope for the best 🤞

Celcius. I'll turn into the abominable snowman if it ever gets that cold in Fahrenheit lol

Today's hourly temperature. Right now it's -13°C and feels like -20°C

Not fun 😩

Today was a sunny day after I don't remember how long but it was sooo fucking cold and windy.
Tomorrow is supposed to be colder 😬

Happiest of birthdays @visa58.bsky.social
Hope you had all the cakes and chocolates and wines. Sending you lots of hugs (virtual for now, maybe a real one this year)

Oh yeah, if I lived in NYC I'd have made plans to join MoMA and Met.
One visit isn't nearly enough.

NY 5th avenue skyline and the same is also reflected in the water, the sky is clear blue with fluffy white clouds.

Turtle pond in the Central park and buildings can be seen in the distance. Clear blue sky and white clouds.

The obelisk in Central park against the backdrop of cloud dotted blue sky

The famous bow bridge and the lake in central park. Two ducks are swimming in the lake.

Yes I'm gonna spam the feed with pics.
