What is it worth?
I hate the fact that I’ve learned how much smoother it gets if you peel the chickpeas. Such a pain. So smooth. I only do it that way for holidays. I don’t go heavy on the tahini but do on the olive oil.
I admit I like chocolate chickpea mousse but I will refrain from calling it anything else.
Apparently at my local Wegmans it’s less of a French toast index and more of a carrot index? This storm it’s just the normal carrots and not also the baby carrots.
(I’m going to try roasting okra instead, wish me luck!)
I love all the athletes but the ones who came expecting to get 10th place and maybe set a PR/make the finals and get a little Olympic ring tattoo and then look up at the board and they’re on the podium and they don’t know how to process it are my favorites.
Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick
I did have to check—it’s a good couple miles from the nearest red line station in Cleveland to one of the groomed-for-skiing Metropark golf courses, alas. There is a 15-minute headway bus, though.
(I post this as I commute on the Fram/Worc line, ftr, I haven’t lived in Cleveland in decades.)
As a cyclist: imho NH drivers are actually the worst of New England, but there are no cities big/dense enough in NH to concentrate them into critical mass.
(I’d much rather bike in Boston than just about any other big US city—better the asshole you know, maybe, but I can predict their janky moves.)
an elder in Boston spent his life building a one-of-a-kind radical library, but he's aging and it needs a new home. Cooperation Jackson has agreed to take it, but they need help shipping it all there.

Oh awesome!
Oh, what a time to have read the Iliad in the original.
The number of papers that have been written on what the heck Homer* meant by his* color descriptions is nigh-infinite.
*Yes, unlikely to have been one singular person. But “the amalgam of storytellers blah blah” is a little unwieldy.

Yeah that was my first thought. I could be fine with that for weeks.
Yup. And if you grow up in the Midwest and move, there’s also: if a midwesterner hates you/a situation enough to be nasty it’s a twelve alarm fire, so your tripwires are hit by friends/colleagues who are mildly peeved.
I like the (in my case Boston) way better but my brain is miscalibrated.
I made sweet potato and kimchi pierogi one time — it’s also completely compatible with being crossed into Eastern European cuisine. (I am still getting the hang of pierogi dough so they were slightly rubbery but the flavor combo was awesome.)
Yep. Especially places that have automatic double-dash conversion in the text editor—or are likely places for people to type with a smartphone that has automatic conversion—because then they’re really easy to use. (I’m not sure which applies on Bsky, but the ones in this comment were converted.)
Yeah the people who cannot comprehend that some people want their avatar to look like them and/or fun rather than just unlocking the best racing are…something.
They get mad at the contingent that wants, say, long hair and grey for women and more body types.
But Zwift itself is really a lot of fun!
The year is 1991. I’m 12 years old and both very politically savvy for my age and hopelessly naive. I’m watching in horror as the media convinces all my peers that this is a just war and has nothing to do with oil.
I don’t yet realize how the Democrats are failing me, because of said naïveté.
Unfortunately, they (and a bunch of people who can spot it) also don’t understand that automatically detecting LLM-generated text is an extremely hard problem: much, much harder than generating it.
(I’ve also seen humans fail at spotting it in the reverse way: accusing everything in sight, sigh.)

Corey Brickley Illustration @CoreyBrickley . May 22, 2022 ... That's right! The square hole Two comic panels, one shows a circle shaped guy about to crawl into a square shaped hole, the background is taken from the famous panel of The Enigma of Amigara Fault with holes in the side of a cliff face. The circle shaped guy is panicking and says "Th-This is my hole! It was made for me!" In the second panel we see actress Allison Burke reacting in a shocked way, mimicking her viral video of shock and heartbreak about shaped blocks being put in the wrong shaped hole in a childrens toy.
In celebration of deleting Twitter here's a collection of some of my popularest tweets, now only available here.
My whole life we’ve been told that The US is simply too big to have high speed rail
Small note: if you see a fat person out exercising, you don’t need to give them advice!
Oh man that brings back memories—and not-memories. I remember thinking SRAs were silly and boring and then shortly after being proud of being at the top of the class.
What I completely didn’t remember was that my parents bribed me with a real book from the bookstore for every so many levels.
I’ve been wanting this for at least a decade! I’d pay (local paper) a buck so I could follow the heartwarming dog-saves-man link (or whatever), but I’m not giving my deets to that many places, even now that fees on microtransactions aren’t so bad as to make single article sales impossible.
Ugh for a time machine to convince myself to try stimulant medication before I got old and acquired bad blood pressure. (I have gotten prescriptions, the side effects were just too bad and it was my call to stop trying to find a level that helped without hitting the Bad Feeling.)
I'm not sure I've seen any of the hard mode exceptions 6x+, except Star Trek V (one of a handful of off-air VHS tapes I had as a kid in the "home sick from school" pile). And a few of the Disney classics, if you count watching nonlinearly in bits b/c a nearby kid was watching.)
Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.
(This is not the gif for the movie I'd pick, but it was the better of the two already in the bsky library.)
