I’ve been a Mac user since the late 80s and the news of its dominance has escaped me.

We are the cult of Civ and Sid Meier is our prophet.

I use the phrase “nipped to the tits” to describe my cat being high on catnip or me being high on weed

Catnip is also my secret ingredient in mojitos. It has a mellower flavor that compliments the mint well, and the moderate sedative effects of catnip tea make the rum more effective.

Simpsons did it, kinda

Or if you just want to inform management that more people won’t simply mean the work gets done much faster just give the example of “If takes 9 months for a woman to make a child, it doesn’t mean you can get 9 women and make a child in one month”

Management: “I don’t have time for theoretical discussions. Marketing says this releases in two weeks and you better get it done. Do you need more resources?”

There are a few magic spells that can turn 10:30pm into 2:30am quite effectively:

• “I’ll just boost iron production and then go to bed.”
• “Landing on Eve won’t take me that long.”
• “Just one more turn…”

The squonk isn’t scary, just sad.

Back in the 90s I had a Zip disk labeled homework with porn on it. My little brother had a similar disk, but he kept it in his underwear drawer and got caught. Then our dad locked down our AOL accounts. I didn’t find this fair, so I installed a keylogger, grabbed my dad’s password, and unlocked my account.

My parents were not amused when I told them about this 20 years later when I found out my dad was still using the same password for his wifi.

When I was a kid some family friends had put an air-moving fan in the floor from the basement to the first floor. On hot summer days it would pull the cool air from the basement, and in the winter it would circulate the air from near their woodstove in the basement to the upstairs.

Maybe that would help? Wiring would be the hardest bit to figure out. After that it’s just cutting a hole in the floor.

One reason I love cooking is it’s the intersection of so many different disciplines, combined with a creative aspect. Cooking is a combination of history, biology, chemistry, physics, math, and so much more.

Mustard also helps emulsify the sauce

The stereotype of white people making bland food is pretty common in the black community. And adding raisins to potato salad.

The fact that KSP2 is still on Steam for $50 is criminal

Kerbal Space Program has a similar vibe, and other space sims take themselves way too seriously to be fun.

RIP KSP2

If that game freezes is in paralyzed?

I rewatched Beavis & Butthead Do America a few months back and laughed from start to finish. Mike Judge is a goddamn genius

Alton Brown (yes the cooking guy) directed REM’s “The One I Love”

My favorite MTV memory is Liquid Television. Weird cartoons like Aeon Flux and The Maxx and The Head
