"I'm super not worried about it"

When someone says something to me but I don't hear them, I'll hit them with a really aggressive "What did you just say to me?!".

So spring foods?

King Missile

Jesus Was Way Cool

Moon Hooch - Tubes, Number 9, Bari 3

Where's Number 6?

That's probably the least weird Neil Cicierega track on my playlists.

Maybe? I've watched a lot of YouTube videos. I spent several years working in a kitchen, which is where that knowledge comes from.

Huh, that's a tough one. I have three whole playlists of increasingly weird stuff, so it's hard to narrow it down to one. Maybe something by French TV or Henry Cow? I'll have to listen through it later to find the stuff that barely counts as music.

I love the story behind that album.

The more you cut, the more you break cell walls, and the more pungent the onion becomes.

Vote in your primaries.

Well it's not just health issues, there's the arrangement and depth of the creases, callouses, tan lines and stains, cuts and scrapes. If you can map those broadly to character traits (rough and calloused hands imply hard work and industriousness, lots of little injuries imply absent-mindedness, etc), then you can use those character traits to predict the answers to some questions. An absent-minded person is more likely to meet with small misfortunes, for instance.

Combine that with whatever the subject's questions are, and a bit of basic psychology.

Not any more than palm reading is a science

Well... stick with me here, this is just a devil's advocate hypothetical.

Your hands are your primary method of interacting with the world. The creases, callouses, and other incidental features are reflections of the ways you most frequently use them.

Obviously you can't divine the future, but you can gather information about a person. I dare say you could devise experiments to detect correlations between certain features of the hands, and features of the person: their profession, hobbies, grooming habits, clumsiness, etc.

I think a sincere scientific study could identify several hand features with moderately predictive correlations.

Near-photographic for most things actually.

A second eponymous album 10 albums in is wild to me. I totally get eponymous debut albums, and I get bands like Krokophant whose albums are mostly just eponymous albums with a number tacked on (Krokophant, Krokophant II, Krokophant III).

But to debut with an eponymous album, release a bunch of other albums with their own names, and then circle back to another identical eponymous album title, no number or tagline or anything, is just so unhinged to me.

Fuck, I might be terminally online.

I've got a nice thin one under my office chairs, and I could see that. A little thick for my taste, though.

Although I can see drawing the grid directly onto one, and then playing on the other side. Then you could even put illustrated maps underneath projecting the grid onto anything.

That's definitely a whole project though. Onto the pile it goes.

Which is only so bad because the purpose of the word itself is to provide context. It literally means "this is not a euphemism", and the only reason to use it in the first place is if the existing context would lead one to assume it was.

When you need to give extra context and additional words to clarify an ambiguous "literally", you've robbed the word of its original meaning. It can no longer fulfill that purpose. It would literally be more efficient to just not use it at all, and just skip straight to whatever you were going to say to clarify the context. The meaning has been stolen.

I assume you replied to a notification, that doesn't reply to the comment, it puts it on the main post. I've made that mistake a few times.

I've been looking for a good one, but I'm having a hard time finding any coating or film that presents itself as the obvious best choice. Most of the options I've found have mixed reviews.
