…tomatoes, olives, peppers, zucchini…

…hey, that’s just like my library’s old PET 2001, my first computer!..

…our orange kitty does the same, but he’s the smartest cat we’ve ever known: perfectly adept at opening doors on his own, so we must keep them all deadbolted lest we find wild critters brought into the house, which has happened on several occasions…

(he’s also pretty good at operating our ipads and desktop computers; he’s sent gibberish text-messages more than once and i worry that someday he’ll buy something online!)

…beauty, that…

…taylor swift’s public statement was a well-considered cogent refutation of false endorsements posted by the trump campaign, one which pointedly resonates your position and likely merits substantially more respect than you realise…

…i don’t think he wants anything other than to keep uncle vlad at bay…

…i bought a mazda 2 ten years ago and it was fantastically practical, agile, efficient, and affordable; came time for a new car and they’d replaced it with a f*cking SUV…

…ah, i may be conflating contextal menus with opening new tabs, since that’s the primary UI mode i use to do so: regardless, any kind of shenanigans which aim to disable application-level UI get under my skin…

…and now you’ve hit upon my other peeve: (mostly shopping) sites coded to disable browsing links in a new tab…

…i read this in the tone of an exasperated husband responding to his wife waiting impatiently to drag him along to some saturday-afternoon garden tea party…

…likewise, each character is different distillation of some aspect of my own personality; it’s kind of an integral part of the character creation process for me to figure out who they are and properly get into character…

…i, too, had to text-message my coworker…

…are you presuming her gender?..it’s a woman’s right to grow a beard if she chooses…

…just ripples in the carbon cycle, momentary standing waves until we lose coherence…

…new sourcebooks coming next year, but fourth-edition maps kind of butchered the realms and third-edition maps compressed them into a fantasy theme park: i appreciate the proper scale of the fifth-edition map even if broader setting resources mostly entail tracking down older reference material…

…fifth edition does offer officially-sanctioned sourcebooks for the moonshaes, border kingdoms, thay, chult, and icewind dale in addition to the sword coast, though; you just have to delve into the DM’s guild for adept and adventurers’ league material…

…third-edition maps do alright in a pinch as long as you double the distances…

…ringworld, johnny mnemonic, and cube all taught me that monofilament is material to be feared…

…she’s half caribbean and half south-asian…

…is that black?..that’s on you…
…does it matter?..that’s on you, too…

…any issue says more about the person asking the questions than it does about the candidate; what i think is noteworthy is that nobody’s talking about her gender, a fact which constitutes a substantial milestone for cultural progress…

…most low-earth-orbit photos are shot with a wide-angle lens, which exaggerates the curvature of the earth and makes local features appear disproportionately large relative to the horizon…

…my wife’s a mad scientist: well, she’s a senior scientist and she’s mad pretty often…
