TBH I would be happier if it never stayed light longer into the evenings than about 7pm. Anxiety frequently drives me into bed around 8.30pm and in high summer it’s still full daylight and closing the curtains at that time makes me feel like an absolute weirdo and just long for darkness. I know I’m a complete anomaly

@purplepadma i can't fall asleep with the tiniest bit of light anywhere -- i have a sleep mask that i LOVE and never travel without it. actually i bought two so one can go in the laundry and i'll still have one to use until such time as the laundry gets done 😁

We give such weird advice to kids. I remember being 12, and very shy, and people would tell me to just be myself. Now 30 years later, I'm 42, and still trying to figure that out.

@RickiTarr my mother was well into her 50s (at least) before she realized that her kids might end up having very different lives than she did. never occurred to her we might not just get married and stay home with the kids like she did. or that we might want something else, or decide on something different -- until we did, and she eventually just had to come to terms with it. and by the time she did, the damage had been done long beforehand. i understand it now but it doesn't mean i'm still not angry as hell about the gaping lack of encouragement or guidance etc etc etc.

I talk to people from the UK pretty regularly, I watch a lot of BBC programming, I read a lot of books by authors from the UK, but sometimes they will suddenly use a word I've never heard in my life, and I'm beginning to think they are pranking us, and every other person from the UK is in on the joke, and just validates whatever the other person says!

You have to full ass life! Did you walk 1 mile, why not two, swim an extra lap, eat another salad, why just one piece, instead of the whole pie, you took a nap, try 3 naps, 2 cats isn't enough, get 20, why dress as a Clown, and scare one person, when you can do it as a job, and scare hundreds, don't just talk to yourself, say all your internal thoughts out loud, so everyone knows what you're dealing with.

Helping out at a youth leadership retreat at a bare-bones camp. Second time here and I might’ve brought some Frette this time haha.

I already get teased about this kind of stuff and this’ll just make it worse, but it’s worth it.

@Holberg i suspect this is one of those "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" things.

solarbird, to cooking

okay gastrodonians gimmie a hand with this

So I have this skillet.

A small skillet, silver in colour, not non-stick and not black/cast iron. The handle appears to be cast, the skillet itself is smooth.Obviously, it’s a skillet. And it looks like a cheap skillet – real cheap. But I don’t think it is.

The handle is cast iron or steel of some kind, despite being silver. The handle is also magnetic and heavy. The actual pan part, however, is aluminium, with no hint of magnetism, and also quite heavy – heavier than I feel it should be, like it has a slab of copper sandwiched inside layers of aluminium. There are three big thick bolts holding this thing together.

This is an object I feel like had to have been made with a purpose. I don’t know what that purpose was. And despite being a decent baker, I am no chef, and am merely an adequate cook in the sense of “I can follow directions correctly and produce the intended meal.”

So what the hell is this for?

Am I wrong about it having a special purpose? Is it in fact really cheap? Because it looks cheap. But it doesn’t feel cheap, and I think that’s important here.

Is it some sort of esoteric camping kit? Is that it? Feels way too heavy for that but it is nicely small.

What’m I missing here, Gastrodonians? Is this some sort of special implement? Or is it just a weird kind of cheap pan I’ve never seen before.

Do you know? ’cause I sure don’t.

@moira @solarbird @cube_drone my guess is it's a skillet specifically made for the oven. just remember to use potholders when taking it out!!!

@bryanhansel@mstdn.social avatar

Minnesota is supposed to get a big dump of snow, and I'm crossing my fingers that it hits the North Shore and the Grand Marais area. My kid has never snowboarded on good, fresh powder. It would be great if his second year of snowboarding would end with feet of fresh pow. Plus, they'd groom the Pincushion XC ski trails and I'd get a few km in. I'm only short ~950km of my goal. :)

@bryanhansel i came up here all psyched to buy some skis again and get back into cross-country skiing... alas, it was not to be.

It still gets me the Bible Jesus is a homeless socialist with brown skin, hangs out with 12 dudes and a Prostitute, tells rich people to pay their taxes and give their wealth to the poor, tells the religious leaders that they need to love everyone equally, gets a whip and goes hog on people using religion to sell stuff, and then straight up gets murdered for these beliefs. Yet somehow churches act like he's some kind of Conservative Haircut in khakis and a button up, who would support cutting welfare programs, and would preach Prosperity Gospel.

@tony @RickiTarr that was more because his mom nagged him to do it. "jesus, they've run out of wine, maybe you could help them out? ahem"

@theropologist @RickiTarr ah, thanks for the details. i should know this myself but it's been a while since studying all that.

before we moved i was in the middle of reading a book called "the bad popes" which is a history of all the political and other bullshit certain popes got up to in early/medieval church history. was enjoying it but now it's in storage so it'll be a while before i finish...
