Me naming hard drives. Guess which is the 40gbps NVMe drive, and which is the large spinning disk… 😜

It seems strange we haven’t launched an automated science-gathering raft/balloon to the Venetian atmosphere yet.

I know, “Netflix & Chill” has a specific meaning. But what’s it called when you cuddle on the couch, eat snacks, maybe doze off, and drool a bit?

Cuz that’s usually my jam.

“Actually, it’s, ‘ghee’,” clarified the butter.

Art is many things, but it’s often whatever way a human can dig out the festering pain from their soul and let it go. Sometimes it’s ugly, but the beauty is in the release.

This fish and I both have trust issues.

Name a technology which would be more advanced if the main clientele were adults. I’ll go first.

BRACES

That thing when you KNOW you’re out of shape, but climb Spencer Butte with a group of fit coworkers, and get empirical evidence of your condition.

Five years since I’ve last flown. The only thing that has changed is laptops don’t get their own bins in security.

Oh, and doors fall off planes now I guess?

My plane ticket includes (2) checked bags. I only have a single checked bag, and my only carry-on is a tiny backpack.

It feels like a waste. Maybe I'll bring an empty suitcase to fill with stuff. My family will like 50 pounds of hotel shampoo, right?

Discovered this sweet drug, which I think I might be hooked on. I dunno the actual ingredients, but the street name is, “Nap.”

It’s seriously such a high, y’all…

If the mainstream use of generative AI and the NFT craze occurred at the same time, we’d have had a lot more wacky worthless items. With really weird hands. 😜

Apparently I’m done working.

Update: Still hate my braces more than words can express. #day13

Be bold enough to stand up for what is right, wise enough to change your opinions when presented with new information, and humble enough to admit when you were just plain wrong.

I’ll try to do the same.

Hey @kevinhearne, it's me, the resident OCD fan... Is there a place chronologically that, "The Chartreuse Chanteuse” fits into the Iron Druid universe?

I have, "Buzz Kill” taking place between, “The Waters" and, “First Dangle” -- but I haven't found info on where the new Meaty Mystery takes place.

Now that the original IDC series is complete, maybe it's moot. But OCD is a fickle monster, thus my question. :)

Thanks either way. :)

I hate them so much more than I expected. When I close my mouth, my lips are pinched with pointy pliers. So I sorta just sit here, slack-jawed. Waiting for the end.

Tonight is my last night without braces. So I finished the bag of caramels I bought the other day.

I never had braces as a kid. Tomorrow is gonna be weird. (Not to mention the next year…)

Only 88% here, but it should be noticeable. And now we can look at the moon take a bite of the sun without frying our retinas. :)

True story: back in the 90s, there was a (partial I think) eclipse when I was attending at Michigan Tech. We all went outside and looked at it through the little slide-y window of floppy disks. That Mylar material might not have been ISO compliant: but everyone had floppies!

Donna: what’s a mulligan?

My friend Ben mentioned Freezie Pops, and now they're all I can think about. This is not a new phenomenon. https://brainofshawn.com/2007/08/07/my-pretty-peculiar-popsicle-problem/

What kind of sunshine was that again?

I’m jealous of folks who know a storm is coming because their joints ache. I know a storm is coming because I get a screaming migraine that doesn’t respond to medicine.
