Round, yellow, rough skin? Crisp like an apple, but sweet like a pear (less tangy than an apple)? If that’s what you mean, 100% agree. They’re fairly common, IME; we got them all the time in PA, and see them frequent-ish in the Midwest.

I think that’s a local thing. My grocer carries them, and they’re always in stock. I line in the Midwest. But I seem to remember eating them a lot in Oregon, too?

I’ve heard rumors that, while we see two kinds of mango in the US, there are many more varietals in India, and they’re all better. I’d like to have access to some of those; mangoes rock.

Do you have any bookmarks for evidence supporting this claim that you could share?

That’s because many of them are off-duty cops. And why would you arrest your friends?

Interesting. Similar here, only it’s paracord and fancy knots.

God, I hope you’re not joking. I can’t tell; that could be an Onion title.

Fucker grabbed that tail, and once he had a hold, he couldn’t let go lest he be eaten.

I hate the comparison; Trump’s as much a tiger as I am a blancmange. But his base are like pirhanna, and there’s no apt metaphor involving dumb, swarming fish.

Put me down as preferring to no be bitten by anything.

That’s one unattractive fish.

Non-intrusive PGP pinentry (ser1.net)

I got tired of pinentry popping up and interrupting whatever I was doing; I didn’t find a solution elsewhere, so I wrote a little bash script to address this. This is designed for (poly|i3|way|…)bar users. The blog entry (no ads, no tracking) linked has the script verbatim, plus some rambling about the why and wherefore....

What's the term for the distance between keys called?

I have been using a piantor built for me by beekeeb.com, and am enjoying the more agressive stagger than my previous Ergodox. However, my typing experience is being spoiled by how tight the key spacing is. I have large hands, and can span an octave on a full-size piano; the Piantor is downright cramped....

This absolutely cracked me up, and my wife didn’t understand why I found it so funny. It took a moment for me to realize it’s because it’s the same schtick as one of my favorite passages from any book.

Two stoned people are having a conversation:

VIRGINIA: Are you hungry?
ANDY: No. (Long reflective pause.) Wait a minute. Did you mean am I hungry for food, or am I hungry in the abstract, like hungry for knowledge or adventure?
VIRGINIA: What are you talking about?
ANDY: You asked if I was hungry.
VIRGINIA: Did I?
ANDY: Yes.
VIRGINIA: Well, are you?
ANDY: Am I what?

It’s been a couple of generations since we’ve had a world war. We’re due. With any luck, the Russian nuclear arsenal will be in as good shape as the rest of their military.
