Socialism != Communism

I’ve always liked Van Gough’s work.

Last year I got to see his Sunflowers painting in person at the National Portrait Gallery in London. I didn’t even know it was there when I decided to go to that museum, it was a pleasant surprise.

When I make French toast, I add a little bit of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom to the egg batter.

When I was a kid, it was Animal.

Now that I’m an adult and a parent, it’s Kermit.

I like to put cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom in my French Toast batter. Makes it extra tasty.

“The party of life”.

What a boring dystopia we live in.

I’ve always liked that Fiona Apple named an album, “When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king What he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight And he’ll win the whole thing 'fore he enters the ring There’s no body to batter when your mind is your might So when you go solo, you hold your own hand And remember that depth is the greatest of heights And if you know where you stand, then you know where to land And if you fall it won’t matter, cuz you’ll know that you’re right.”

It’s commonly referred to as simply, “When the pawn”.

Yep. First thing I thought was, “They’re going to let ICE use this to track people down.” Hell, they could already be doing that.

This feature is completely optional and is never turned on by default.

Until Microsoft decides to turn it on without your consent or knowledge at some point.

The call is coming from inside the house!

I fucking love the disdain he shows for the lock in the second video after he opens it. The way he just chucks it into the box.

This is the way.

A car’s 17-digit VIN has a similar feature, for model years since 1981.

The 9th digit is the check digit, and it’s a much more complex algorithm (since the VIN can have numbers and letters.)

which they are calling the Rhisotope Project.

That’s a great pun.

I’m having pretty much the same thing right now. Started feeling a little bad last Wednesday afternoon. Felt worse Thusday so I took Thursday and Friday of work and basically laid around all day from Thursday through Sunday.

Monday and yesterday I still had a bad headache and almost no energy. I had to rest and nap all lot.

Today I’m feeling slightly better, but still fighting a headache and very little energy. The cocid test I took was negative so either it’s a bad cold or flu, but I haven’t felt this sick in a long time.

Cue millions of Texans asking ChatGPT: “How can I take a shorter shower?”

But low key that sounds like an amazing place to take a relaxing vacation.

I have that in most rooms in my house, and in one room the bottom part slides up.
