My wife has been sick with a persistent respiratory infection for six weeks. I have a shoulder injury. We haven't been staying on top of the cleaning. We finally admitted that the house smells like one of those caves you age cheese in, and booked a cleaner to put it back in good shape so we can just maintain it going forwards.

Last night, at my wife's insistence, we tidied the house from top to bottom and wiped down the flat surfaces so the cleaner wouldn't arrive to a messy house. ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

In her defence, she kinda saw the irony of it.

But they're in different uniforms. That's nearly the same as flying a flag.

It's not that it isn't funny, but reality fatigue is a thing.

If Gus Gus is happy and I'm sad but smart, which of us is the bigger fool?

Actually, I just ate breakfast. Things are looking better already.

Has Elon started listening to his public relations team?

One of my acquaintances is a woman married to a woman, so I'd say we've at least made some advances in minding our own business.

If you're shooting soup, better stick to bone broth. Anything chunkier will clog the needle.

People who use "can" to mean either "can" OR "can't" and expect you to work out what they mean from context.

Trump's name is almost certainly all over the Epstein files. I think there's an argument to be made that using a tool like that puts you firmly in the "bad guy" camp.

Someone flammable, I bet.

 

Especially if the sinners still need their punishment?

 

Either all at once, or over a lifetime?

 

My position is that it's a snack and husband tax must be paid. My wife is arguing that it's a meal or occupies some third food space and it's entirely hers. Who's right, court of Lemmy?

 

To explain what I mean, I think you can level up a cooking style. For example, pasta. At level 1, you're boiling dried pasta and adding sauce out of a jar. At level 1, you add your own spices. Level 3, switch to fresh pasta. Level 4, make your own sauce. And finally at level 5, make the pasta from scratch.

So with BBQ, I guess level 1 would be cooking the meat so it's neither burnt nor underdone. Maybe level 2 is mixing different meats/cuts that have different heat/time requirements and cooking well. Further levels = ?

 

Picture this: you're working in a large open-plan office and you need to send a message to Steve at the other end of the room. You pull out your messenger handgun, dictate your message (because you paid for the voice recognition feature) and let it engrave your words on a bullet. Then you simply fire it at the target mounted above Steve's cube!

Fast, attention-getting and simple. It's the perfect system.

I'm sharing this because any reduction in unnecessary packaging waste is good for the planet - and because I think laser-etching avocados is funny. ๐Ÿ™‚

 

I followed a Jaime Oliver recipe for curry, which started with grating onion, ginger and garlic. I liked the curry, but grating an onion is a miserable job. He said that technique unlocked the onion's 'sweetness'. How much difference do you think I'd notice if I used a food processor?
