Bake the potato. Add sour cream, chives, and a dash of seeded mustard to the final mix. Bacon bits are optional.

This is how I learned to like a particular subset of potato salad.

I didn’t know that at the time, pre-diagnosis, but it’s so obvious now.

Cocaine makes absolutely no sense to me. Are you having a good time, letting loose and getting relaxed with friends while enjoying a few beverages? Here, take this substance that will make you disturbingly sober. Everything is clear, level, and so very normal. Fun huh?

At a music festival, actually able to listen to a complete song without my mind wandering… is this why people take stimulants?

Yeah, I’ve seen it from hypersexual people who seem to have unprocessed shame and need to believe their own behaviour is justified by being a universal human trait. The existence of asexuality threatens that.

Don’t tender the life extender?

It was done in Australia quite a few years back and widely mocked. There was a bit of a bump in “XBox babies”, but it was mostly from the kind of people who don’t understand that a one-off cash bonus spent on a bigger TV doesn’t cover the costs of raising a kid.

That is Trump’s demographic, but he’s being very optimistic if he thinks these kids will be going to the polls while he’s still alive.

I’ve been seeing a lot of reports lately of white people getting screwed over like this. They all had one thing in common: women traveling without male company.

I planted three blueberry bushes (and a fig tree) a couple of days ago. You have me second guessing myself because I just stuck them in the ground.

In my defence, things grow here with very little work. The tomatoes are fruiting faster than we can pick them.

The main limitation I always had with Strava was limited activities. I know there are off road onewheelers who log their routes as ice skating, for example.

It would also be nice to save points of interest that aren’t linear routes. E.g. nice vantage points, businesses that accommodate group rides, public water/toilets/power.

I haven’t encountered Brendan yet, but I look forward to yet another reality-bleed.

Forget the turducken. This year we’re having brachiotyranotriceradilophovelociturducken.

You should hear the sound they make. Thumping bass that you feel as much as you hear it.

Soju and fried chicken is also an excellent option.

I wasn’t allowed to watch “violent” movies as a kid, so I missed a lot of action classics like RoboCop, Rambo, etc. But there were a few exceptions we had on tape so they got watched a lot. Long Kiss Goodnight, T2, Alien,… I rewatched this one again a couple of years ago and was shocked at how violent it actually is. It finally clicked that my single Mum was making an exception for iconic kick-arse women.

I just got into Cyberpunk 2077, and too many parts of it are leaking into the real world. This could be a Delamain interaction.

Interesting, I seem to know “thank you” in a few languages, but not “please”. I wonder what that indicates…

Spanish: por favor, gracias

French: sil vous plait, merci

Indonesian: ?, terima kasih

Mandarin: ?, xie xie

Japanese: ?, arigato

German: ?, danke

Italian: ?, grazie

Aussie: oi, cheers/ta (/s)

I haven’t tried Bazzite yet, but I feel the same about the other ublue flavours.

I’m the most productive I’ve ever been. Tweaking everything was fun for a few years, but now I just need a distro I can trust, that comes with the tools to do anything.

I see rebases to Bazzite DX are available now. I might give that a go today.

My last place was directly over a karaoke bar. It was weird how the sound of drunk off key singing became a comforting sleep sound. I missed it when they shut down.

I’m guessing you’re not in Melbourne then, but Red Sparrow is a fully vegan pizza restaurant with a few locations there. Very good, from what I’ve heard.
