Or that with the exception of corn, I eat all my vegitables raw only?
Even potatoes?
…also, I don’t like cheesecake.
Are you an alien? Welcome to Earth.
C'mon, you can't ask us to pick just one. Sometimes you feel like something creamy, sometimes you want crunchy, at times even fruity.
Actually, it's cheesecake. This week. Because my wife has banned it from the house.
Drive-by advertising. When someone joins a forum I'm active on just to let us know about their shiny new product and doesn't participate in any other way. Even if it's relevant, it's still pretty scummy.
People who use drugs may simply be looking for an enjoyable experience, they don't necessarily have mental issues.
On the other hand, everyone I know who admits to using drugs is ANNOYING AS FUCK, so no I don't think they're cool.

I'm a perma-noob and I was able to do it. Had to re-do a couple of steps because I interpreted instructions that were meant to be literal, but the wiki pages are very comprehensive. I just had to pay attention to the details.
I leave the house for work at 6, so I'm in bed at 10. As for when I got to sleep... sometimes the snooze gods are kind, sometimes they aren't.
Fuck those fuckers. I critted twice in my last session and rolled minimum damage both times!
Every single time -
Me: "Is rare astronomical phenomenon visible from the Southern hemisphere?"
Google: "Ha ha, nope."
Thanks. Now if you don't mind, my new character is going back to drying the pieces of my old character over a fire to preserve him until we get back to civilisation.
To be clear, health should be a human right, housing should be a human right, food should be under health as a human right but let’s be serious it should be a separate human right so everyone has to acknowledge it.
You've just summed up article 25 of the universal declaration of human rights. The US is a signatory to it - but it's not legally binding.
"Roll to see if you know the leech-to-gold exchange rate."
I didn't know that, but I'm not exactly shocked to hear it.
Billionaire celebrities with millions of fans enabling their narcissism.
Good choice. It's one of my favourites. It's also the first in a trilogy, the last book of which has just been announced.
You sure like watching other people fuck.
I once had a French co-worker tell me that the rest of France would divorce you if they could.
Tesco's Laser-Etched Avocados to Save on Packaging Waste - Core77
"Laser avocado" sounds like a Doritos flavor, but it's actually a packaging technique being trialed by Tesco. In a bid to reduce packaging waste, the UK supermarket chain is laser-etching avocados rather than using barcode stickers. And for their avocado products that come in twin packs, they're dit...
I'm sharing this because any reduction in unnecessary packaging waste is good for the planet - and because I think laser-etching avocados is funny. 🙂
Alternatives to onion grating
I followed a Jaime Oliver recipe for curry, which started with grating onion, ginger and garlic. I liked the curry, but grating an onion is a miserable job. He said that technique unlocked the onion's 'sweetness'. How much difference do you think I'd notice if I used a food processor?

Loki (spoilers)
I noticed that one of the monitors in the loom control room had "SKIN?" written on it in the dust that covered it. It seemed pretty mysterious and I was sure it was a detail that was going to be important, but it never came up as far as I noticed. Any theories as to what it's about?
Book recommendations for cosmic horror on a spaceship
I've been on a cosmic horror kick lately, and what I'd really like to read is stories or novels of the awful and unfathomable on a spaceship. Stories where we go to them, poke what shouldn't be poked, scan what shouldn't be scanned, and things proceed from there.
Automated wind-energy system brings portable renewables off-grid
A new electrolysis system can pump green hydrogen from water without an expensive membrane, taking a giant step toward the $1-per-kg goal.
Quick 'n' easy halloumi curry
Ingredients:
- 1 can chickpeas
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 180g/6.5oz halloumi cheese
- 2 heaped tbsp garam masala powder
- 1/2 tsp vegetable stock
Method:
- Cube the halloumi and set it aside.
- Mix all remaining ingredients together in a saucepan and place on the heat. Allow to come to a simmer, stirring frequently.
- Mix in the halloumi and stir until heated through but not melting.
- Remove from heat and serve with rice.
I learned this recipe from a couple of vegetarian friends who eat it twice a week because it's cheap, easy and packed with protein. There's no need to add salt, the masala powder seasons it nicely.

Painter's tape on tile edges
I recently watched a Wyloch's Armory clip about using painter's tape as edge-cladding for corrugated cardboard tiles. Has anyone tried this? Does the tape take acrylic paint well? If I let segments of tape overlap at the corners, how thick will it look?
