Speaking of chins with bony protrusions

I bought one just before the end. No ragrets. There are definitely some software quirks (the rear cross traffic alert always points the wrong direction) but overall I like it.

Yeah, I think it’s a form of the survivorship bias. Not too long ago, based on a discord voice conversation, I listened to the top 100 songs from 1977. One of the top 100 was Ariel by Dean Friedman. If you think that’s a great song, you’re higher than he was when he recorded it.

Wow, a whole $1 million. They’ll notice that for like seven seconds.

AFAIK there is no known energy source that would keep a generation ship powered for the duration of an interstellar flight.

The person to whom you responded is half right. The speed of light is half of the barrier to interstellar travel. Entropy is the other half.

Just started watching the movie again about ten minutes ago

I don’t like garlic bread. Don’t really like garlic much at all. Thank you for your kind wishes.

Host: "Could you use it in a sentence for us?"

Moss: "Good morning, that's a nice mainoty."

From Serious Eats:

First off, it's true: mushrooms do absorb water when you wash them, but it's only about 2% of their total weight, or, translated to volume, that's about 1 1/2 teaspoons of water per pound, which in turn translates to an extra 15 to 30 seconds of cooking time.

"Soggy" is an exaggeration.

There are a lot of people who think, largely due to misinformed cooking shows, that you shouldn't wash mushrooms, just wipe them off.

If you want them washed, maybe say "Hey, I can help out by washing those for you."

Nope. I’m out.

Does the "M. N." stand for "Middle Name?"

This Bread I Break by Dylan Thomas

It’s a short, beautiful poem that laments man’s destructive relationship with nature.

for the last 14 years of my career, I was using stupidly overpowered Oracle exadata systems exclusively, so "slow" meant 3 seconds instead of 1.

Now that I'm retired, I pretty much never need to compress anything.

Only way to fly.

Tell me you're young without telling me you're young.

Paper towels, for most of my life (I'm old AF), were as long as they were wide. Square, they were. Bounty originated select-a-size by perforating them twice as frequently, so they were half as long as wide. Others eventually followed suit and now youngsters think that's how it's always been.
