soba or udon, though?

I briefly had an "Enter your age to continue" popup (which then had an endless loading swirly), which makes me wonder if it was a bad deployment

another infographic in the ad: Details Show Quality Transparent appearance retro and avant-garde Built-in smart chip stores a variety of childhood games The large screen is clearer 4.1-inch large screen for fun The keys are more silky Damping comfortable lubrication Transparent Shell can see the motherboard more technology tips: Transparent Shell, vaguely see the connection is not a quality problem (mind carefully) and there's another picture of Super Brick Game

oh, it also has "Damping comfortable lubrication"!

an image from aliexpress: "Transparent, Enlarge Screen, Radiation-free, Eye-friendly". A hand is holding a "Brick Game" LCD handheld game that suspiciously resembles Tetris. Batteries are Not Included.

Yep, that's what I want from a videogame: "radiation-free"

A reminder for my Chicago peeps: Ward Site early voting is open, and open 9-6 on weekdays, 9-5 Saturdays, and 10-4 Sundays. (Also: don't forget to let the election judge initial your ballot before putting it into the reader!)

a very few times, I've gotten to see a map of where I was in one of those "I've been here before" dreams

why have five 9s when you can have six 8s?

In the London office we didn't get them

Condolences.

you know what the olympics really needed? gambling ads

Niceness is social lube; it makes everything happen more pleasantly
Kindness addresses what is actually needed

as the kids would say, dismalmaxxing

the "best" is the one with minimal walking; this disqualifies meijer and the other hypermarts where you have to walk alllllll the way back to get to the dairy. similarly, stores which have paper goods and whatnot in between food items suck
smaller, well-curated stores are my fave (eg HarvestTime)

Arzan Cafe? there ain't a whole lot of kyrgyz restaurants around
(although since it's ramadan, it might be more crowded at night than usual)

a whiteboard diagram of the twitter architecture. it's sharded into multiple microservices; I believe this particular iteration is from the late 2010s

it was not simple, because otherwise it hit way too many bottlenecks. having realtime *and* fanout to zillions of people is a nontrivial exercise

it was *so quiet* as people left the theater after TPM; IIRC the group I was in tried to dissuade people waiting in line for tickets

quickly, or low effort? quickly: scrambled eggs + stuff; low effort: brown rice + lentils + garlic + ginger -> rice cooker

sounds like an NFPA safety square hanging from the belt might be warranted

I suspect it's a "purity" thing; tumblr seems to have an extra large amount of it

brb, gonna try and hold the wikimedia foundation's verification hostage until they agree to force-embed links in wikipedia or some other similar kind of whack-ass integration

if you think that *laws don't apply to you because you're rich*, it is something you can and will joke about, because it's not an actual concern

but can get very bitey if you try to tickle its innards!
(unless that was only the 3/3A)

my lukewarm take for the evening: Rahm Emmanuel : Chicago :: Gavin Newsom : San Francisco/California

let's just say I am not, nor have I been, thrilled with either one (this is midwest coded for "this guy fucking sucks")

Mildly surprised nobody else has said this: Time Bandits (1981)

Everybody knows that Pupper just won Downhill Gold

Coke, it's the real thing - but what *is* real?

alpha nerds are the fucking *worst*
