Time

Italian American grandmother would make legit pasta e fagioli. Once when she didn’t have the ingredients it was just elbow macaroni and a can of beans. Somewhere along the line baked beans was all she had and it became the favorite.

Been a struggle meal for 4 generations now. Kids call it pasta zhoo.

Boil 1lb elbow macaroni in salty water to al dente. Take pot off the stove. Don’t drain, but scoop off enough water so that it just barely covers the pasta. Pour in a 16oz can of baked beans and mix. Serve with butter and black pepper.

This was salt, but I was going to upgrade soon anyway. I may still do a quick rinse with the power off tomorrow. Good idea.

Holy shit. Forgotten memory accessed.

Dude is about to shoot himself, Death turns up to collect him but has his hood down or something, the guy freaks out and shoots Death instead and has to take his place, right?

I read that 30+ years ago burning through my town library’s small sci-fi/fantasy section.

I haven’t done a ton of research on the guy, but he definitely seems like a grifter. I started getting emails from him out of the blue a while back. It was a brewery but also a PAC and the surface level messaging seemed like stuff I was aligned with until it started getting a little unhinged.

He tried to get on the ballot for governor recently but failed. It all kind of seems like political theater.

As a somewhat lapsed mythology nerd, I really enjoyed it. I went in with zero expectations, not due to any controversy, I just didn’t think the story could be done justice in a movie. I’m holding out hope that the 70mm showings continue long enough for me to find tickets in a decent seat.

Or let it connect and drop it down a sinkhole on its own VLAN.

No idea if this is actually better, but it’s what I do for the free smart things in my house.

I use Trilium Notes as my OneNote replacement at home. I don’t use it religiously, but it’s helpful for basic stuff and seems pretty feature rich if you need that.

As a counterpoint, I’ve not had any problem with the weapons. I went with the whip though. I think there are 4 or 5 - you pick one to start with and unlock the rest throughout the game.

It does take a minute to get the timing right on the burrow mechanic because you do jump up before diving underground and you’re vulnerable during that jump. I grew up with the NES though, so that old school style is what I got used to. I learned how to swim through the underwater plants in TMNT; I beat Link’s Adventure without the…cheat thing I can’t remember because I’m old now… Game Genie.

It is far darker than the art style let’s on though.

As a teenager at the same time, Seinfeld fit better with my absurdist sense of humor.

But I totally agree that they were products of their time.

The sea was angry that day, my friends - like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli.

Every time I write an email on my phone in Gmail, it pops up a blurb asking “Polish?” so I assume this is a term they’re trying to repurpose. But my first thought every time I see it is that it’s asking to translate my message into the Polish language.

Ages ago in my help desk days, we had a remote user brick at least 3 laptops and 3 PocketPCs. They were fully dead, would not power on with different batteries/chargers. She used different outlets each time both in her house and at coffee shops. She left the company shortly after and I got promoted out of the role so I never figured out what happened.

Not only that, but the unification joined peoples speaking something like 50 different “dialects” of Italian. I’m not a linguist but the way I understand it, they evolved separately from Latin into a bunch of relatively similar languages. Something like 2% of the country spoke Italian Italian when the kingdom was unified.

My grandparents were from opposite ends of Italy and argued over which was the correct dialect their whole lives.

It’s the prime minister of Finland.

Grawlix is one of my favorite #*&$ing words

I had it once, not on a cruise ship, and that may have been the worst 24 hours I’ve ever had. One end of me was on the toilet and the other was in the tub.

Try on at REI, buy it from the manufacturer direct.

I hadn’t thought of this for probably 40 years and those neurons just woke up to remember the lyrics.
