They do things right out in Cornwall. We were vacationing at lands end when storm Henk made landfall, it was memorable to say the least.

I'd only heard of council juice

Making one of the main characters a houseplant is exactly the kind of daring creative freedom we've seen is totally missing from syndicated cartoons.

Hasty edit: serious remark

Hopefully TACO

What a dubious pleasure, to be on the same page about some of the worst shit that's ever happened in my life.

No we did, it was good tea. That's what made the message clear, the value being sacrificed. The popular American predilection for tea up until after the Townshend Acts was well documented by de Tocqueville. It was only after that drinking tea was considered "unpatriotic". Before then we would even eat boiled tea leaves with butter as a side dish. We were mad about the stuff, but as a colony we were only allowed to buy British tea. It was a whole thing.

Anyway I've had an electric kettle for ages. It's more common in Asian-American households perhaps. We didn't fit in that well in the states, so we went back to the UK. Now I only buy British tea again. Full circle.

I don't know what happened. We used to be really into tea. Blame the Townshend Acts I guess?

Only if you get caught

I'm closing my fkn phone rn

sippy cup noises

That wasn't my intention - I don't know what is possible for Russia in the future, only that they don't show any signs that they're trying to change.

Obviously it takes two to tango and the US has not done enough to smooth things over. The world is too imperfect for tidy solutions or easy answers. All I'm saying here is that nobody who knows Russia is raising their eyebrows at the way they're acting.

You're still being silly as hell. The AR can be easily reconfigured for several different cartridges, some of which are quite powerful. Also, just about any rifle is far more deadly than any pistol for several reasons. Reducing the subject to a binary "can/can't kill" is charitably, infantile and if I was not feeling charitable I'd call it a bad faith argument.

Oh you're just silly? Alright buddy. There's juice in the fridge, help yourself okay?

 

Is this even brioche at this point? Who cares.

The sugar is to make it more attractive to my kid, I'd rather top it with everything bagel mix.

Bad oven spring this time, I screwed up the proofing and didn't have foil around to tent for the second half. Result? Cooler oven, darker crust.

 

Woke up at four to get this going, and breakfast still wasn't served until half ten. Somehow I wasn't cured of my interest in brioche.

Recipe adapted from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhrgf7X2ihs, but instead of his filing I just did apple pie mix. A few had Nutella.

 

You know how Nidhogg is just one thing, and it's super simple and slightly just...nothing, but you can spend ages with it and it's got an incredibly high skill ceiling, and there's no flaws at all and they've just sort of achieved everything they set out to do without making a big deal out of it? It's that kind of game.

Kill The Crows is such a pure, condensed game. So rare to find a gameplay loop so utterly on the mark. Every moment is a small crisis where you're either lost in a flow state, or you're dead - and then right back into the action a couple seconds later.

Can't believe how few people talk about this cult classic-in-waiting. It's really charming.

 

This week I'm doing three different individual pizzas every night for four nights. Because the world is burning, but my oven is pretty hot too.

The crumb. I never appreciated how important it is to buy the nice flour.

 

I’ve spent the last year every weekend creating a 2.5 hour block of tailored programming to recreate the experience of Saturday morning cartoons for my kid, with selections from ~60 of the best (and some bad) cartoons from the last several decades, animated music videos, unearthed funny old clips, and modern indie animations, often with seasonal themes.

My programming is (I think) objectively better than the Saturday morning block ever was, and it takes hours every week to gather clips, edit, and manage where we’re at with every show. I sometimes wish I could share it with a larger crowd. Do you know of a PeerTube instance that would be cool with hosting this kind of content? I've tried sharing this with friends and family via SyncThing, but they didn't like it and it was a pain to help them troubleshoot all the time. It would be nice to have a platform for this work, even though I know it's all mostly untenable from an IP standpoint.

 

Just outstanding stuff. I don't think I've ever seen a Mega Man boss fight quite this interesting in how it plays out. Seems like this game is going to have an incredibly high skill ceiling.

 

This is a playable race in a game I've been developing. I like the premise, but the overall impression feels lacking to me. Mythians come from elves in this story, which are more like cenobites than fairies (taking cues from Pratchett's Lords and Ladies but hyperbolically so, until you're more into Gwar territory). They've renounced horrific madness and cosmic power. It's got a lot going for it, but I'm not happy with how "simple" and just-so it all feels. Any help?

As title says. I want to really soak in that high-minded worldview today.

 

My algorithm in a nutshell. I might have delved too deeply.
