  • Definitely related, but I don’t know if anybody else noticed.

    Erich von Däniken just passed away the other day. I miss the days I could appreciate a good conspiracy theory. Living through Covid destroyed any enjoyment I got from that.

  • Why would they name him Achilles if they knew his ankles were a weakness. It’s well known how vulnerable the Achilles Tendon is to injury. It’s like giving the enemy a huge hint where to attack.

    So dumb!

  • This is going to be pretty basic, but I like having a classic plaid Better Homes & Gardens cookbook. It provides a solid but basic version of most recipes, then flesh out with a few more books that meet your preferences and requirements.

  • If nothing else, she is a well known individual in Minnesota, so there’s a lot of momentum already there. She’s also really good at fundraising apparently.

    So she isn’t a terrible candidate from the standpoint of the job of politics. But she leaves a lot to be desired as a leader.

  • I think he’d make a good senator, but I don’t know that Amy Klobochar would be a good governor.

  • I hope you’re happy.

  • Look at how often grindr crashes during right wing events. It’s already political, maybe just not in the back end.

  • Nah, somehow the Robert’s court will find a way to rule that it’s only legal for republicans.

  • I think the transcript gets this wrong she kind of muddled her words and the quote I think was: “isn’t a coverup at all.”

  • If you really hate yourself, you could swap it out with plain Greek yogurt. It wouldn’t be good, but you could do it.

  • The other half of the package is for decoration on the top. You break the cookies in half and try to put them in a decorative manner.

  • An actual recipe I grew up having in Minnesota and still occasionally make for events.

  • Sometimes jokes where the punchline are based around absurdity will simplify or ignore the nuance of reality for the sake of a joke.

  • I just set up a Asus ZenWifi BE14000 to replace an old eero setup. I like it so far and haven’t experienced anything weird. I liked that it didn’t gate all the traffic shaping, new user notifications, and security behind a subscription paywall.

  • Nope, the voters. They couldn’t care less about the policies, they just vote based on the vibes of the candidates.

  • Aka: No politics, just vibes.

  • “Also, remember, adults don't need gifts, OK? Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn’t need slippers. If they don’t live by you, don’t get them a gift."

    Republicans now, somehow.

  • Dozing don.
