I was trying to look up the punchline to an old SNL Weekend Update joke

It's probably hopeless. If there's an archived transcript of every Weekend Update ever, then it might be possible to find, but even that is assuming that I'm remembering SNL correctly, and it wasn't A Conan O'Brien joke or something else like that.

Fuck AI @lemmy.world

They both look like dimensional variants of Hide the Pain Harold.

Thanks to the Romans, we also have super messy units for length

But we can still blame the English for the furlong.

I'd say I have a fairly medium-grade routine.

I hand grind whole beans. Not even super-special premium beans, most likely just the huge bag of Kirkland whole beans. Maybe not even ground same-day, quite possibly ground and then put into a ball jar ahead of time. They are hand-ground, though, with a grinder that is adjusted to a high level of coarseness.

The grounds are measured into a French press. I use a digital kitchen scale so that it's always the same amount. I use a kettle to get the water to 200F. Pour over the grounds until they're soaked. Slosh them around a bit for thirty seconds. Pour in the rest of the water up to the fill line on the French press. Set a timer for four minutes. Press down the plunger and pour into a mug, plus a glass bottle for the excess. That's it. Yes, it's particular, but I am pretty sure it's not an ultra-premium process. I've had better coffee in a decent hotel. The main thing is exactly measuring what I'm doing, so I get consistent results.

I had my mom and sister over and they complimented my coffee. I didn't make a big deal about it and thanked them.

The next morning, my sister is up before me. I come out to the dining room and she's pouring coffee from the press. Suddenly she goes "Oooh! This coffee is strong! Too strong! I'll have to water it down!"

I ask, "Well how much grounds did you use?"

"Oh, I don't know, I just eyeballed it."

"How long did you let it brew?"

"Oh, I don't know. It's been a while. It's still in the press."

Well, yes, that would possibly result in an unpredictable result. This is why I have a hard time vacationing with my family.

The Queen propped her up against a tree, and said kindly, "You may rest a little now," Alice looked round her in great surprise. "Why, I do believe we've been under this tree the whole time! Everything's just as it was!"

"Of course it is," said the Queen: "what would you have it?"

"Well, in our country," said Alice, still panting a little, "you'd generally get to somewhere else——if you ran very fast for a long time, as we've been doing."

"A slow sort of country!" said the Queen. "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!"

The description I've heard is "front of the class minds with back of the class attitudes." It worked for Obama, it worked for Clinton, and if we don't recognize that it's a winning combination we're going to continue to get fucked in the general elections.

Good Christ, can you imagine a holodeck version of The Lord of the Rings? Even allowing for the occasional time skip forward, it could take months if not years to work through the whole trilogy. It would be glorious.

I read a lot of the Hugo Award short story collections and it's a great way to get into sci-fi. They're usually pretty good if not excellent. If you like the author's style, you can go out and look up more of their work. If you don't, not a problem, it's just a short story anyway.

I'm old enough to remember Bush v. Gore. Arguing against stupid motherfuckers who advocate against voting, or voting third party when the vote is split 49%-49%-2%, is one of the few internet fights I'll still let myself get dragged into.
