This is what I would refer to the extra big bags of cereal as when living with a friend and it was his turn to do grocery shopping.

“1x bachelor chow cinnamon crunch, 1x fruity pebbles.”

Great book, I still occasionally use its “glass teletypes” when referring to screens

You see, tea is an excuse to drink sweetened half n half, which is my goal

Also a good time - an egg over easy added to the Mac n cheese. I first heard it described as “trailerpark carbonara.” Would recommend

I had no idea I was attacked as a child. Explains a lot really

Also good on you dude in audience who cheers real loud when they add the ketchup

In Pittsburgh odds are fries would come on the salad with every dinner. Strange tradition, but I don’t mind it.

My friends were very excitedly talking about setting up a corp in this when it was first announced.

They wanted my buy-in, and I asked if I could be head of HR, to which they said “yes”.

So I bought it, created our corp, and performed my ideal goal: set up a corp recruitment posting called “entry-level Star Citizen player” which required 10+ years in Star Citizen.

We’re now at the point where I have to find my log-in and change that to 20+ for the joke to make sense again.

One plus the number of lives she saved each time you save her.

Probably no other world in the multiverse has warehouses for things which only exist in potentia, but the pork futures warehouse in Ankh-Morpork is a product of the Patrician’s rules about baseless metaphors, the literal-mindedness of citizens who assume that everything must exist somewhere, and the general thinness of the fabric of reality around Ankh, which is so thin that it’s as thin as a very thin thing. The net result is that trading in pork futures—in pork that doesn’t exist yet—led to the building of the warehouse to store it in until it does.

Terry Pratchett, Thud!

That’s a weird-un. I moved to Fedora specifically because I wanted a no-nonsense distro, and for the last 7 years it’s delivered on various desk- and laptops, knock-on-wood.

Invertebrates? No. All out

I invite you to meet the awesome jumping spider, whose eyes are very especially needed set up to be forward-facing for depth perception for their jumps, and who hunt other spiders, as well as the wolf spider, who are also a hunting (as opposed to web) spider.

In fact, you can use the chart of spider eye layouts to pretty much identify whether you’re looking at a spider who builds webs and waits or a spider who hunts:

Anyone with two big forward-facing eyes is probably looking around for their next meal; the rest are building a web, trapdoor, or taking some other approach.

If unaware, you may enjoy this contest (of which I’ve chosen the 2021, but there are many and they are great)

adding the 2012 because it’s just the best

Pomme d’terror

My favorite was a guy in college who came in, used the urinal, used the hand dryer, and left.

Oh dang, it was my media PC until 2017, when the switch took over its role, IIRC. Definitely got my money’s worth out of it even if there were no games lmao

Columbus’ contact resulted in a 92% loss of population in North, Central, and South America. Mexico City area only just re-reached its pre-contact population estimate in the 1960s.

“1491” is a good read.

Do I still get to grease squeaky hinges? If so, maybe a deal.

There’s a 1994 interview with Bill Gates in which he talks about how someday in the future we will have what he calls wallet PCs, and which will allow us to pay for things, be cameras, things we can use to hold our tickets to go into shows, etc. One of the best Playboy interviews.
