Never forgetti mom’s spaghetti

There was one day in my city where a catastrophic hailstorm absolutely brought the city to a standstill. Hail the size of golf balls clogged drains, causing roads everywhere to flood and stopping traffic, but more importantly, dented the skin and smashed the windscreens of like 30% of the cars in the city, writing them off.

I worked for an autoglass supplier at the time, and for the next 2 weeks, we were shipping every bit of glass we could get our hands on until the warehouse was bare. Glaziers were working 16 hours a day to fix the glass on thousands of cars. It was pretty wild.

I SO PALE

Leon: The professional

The sexual dynamic between the two characters makes me more uncomfortable the older that movie gets, and it makes me very uncomfortable that such a young actor is playing the role The way they do. The plot too is silly, nobody, not even an emotionless assassin would try to teach a kid to be an assassin for any reason. Kids are impulsive idiots and there’s literally no upside to it. But holy hell does Gary Oldman absolutely rule in that movie.

I did the same with a sandwich once. 10 years later, I think about this sandwich. Toasted Reuben on sourdough. Never could get it the same again.

There was a famous case of a Soviet spy who got caught by the FBI because of the way he carried his flowers.

In the US, if someone buys flowers, then while walking with them, the person normally carries them with the flowers up, stems down. The ‘normal’ way.

In Russia, to protect the flower tops from rain, snow, cold, and wind, the average person carries the bunch of flowers with the stems facing up/forward, flowers pointing down/back.

This spy bought flowers for some reason, and an FBI agent noticed he carried them the Russian way.

If you ever get a chance to read any of Joe Navarro’s books, he’s a very good writer. I highly recommend “3 Minutes to Midnight”

Buy her some flowers while on a date. If she carries them stems pointing up, then boy, you’re about to make hella rubles

Yes, this season of Earth is satire. The writers have pivoted away from the Drama genre and gone for something more fun. The Medical Thriller seasons were really unpopular with most demographics.

This tiny rice cooker:

I live alone, so it easily makes exactly two meals worth of cooked rice (tonight’s and tomorrow’s)

Or I can just make one whole meal, with rice, frozen veg, satay sauce, and peanuts, or any other variant of a one-pot rice cooker dish. Super simple operation, just one button .

Easy to store away when I’m not using it, which is rare. Only cost $15.

It was a Technology connections video that convinced me to buy one. I then bought another one, a 12-cup rice cooker, for meal prep.

The fluoride in the water is secretly pushed by the sugar industry. Without it, their products would be rotting teeth faster than ever and people would buy less sweets as a result.

And reptilians live inside. The colony has survived for millions of years through ritual cannibalism. NASA found out on Apollo 17, that’s why they never went back.

I’ve been aggressively cutting my food bill and making do with the cheapest staple foods. Not ramen, but like the cheap vegetables, bulk rice and legumes, not much meat, no dairy. Making my own sweets, bread, ECT. Lots of soups, stews, vegetarian curries. Getting free fruit from neighbours trees. That’s the biggest expense I can cut right now. I’m increasingly frugal on just about everything else, and doing side gigs wherever I can. I even stopped buying books and started going to the library once a week.

I wouldn’t say I’m struggling, but I’m all out of things to cut.

Landlords should be prevented from breathing.

Same here. I had second thoughts about getting 128GB of DDR5 in my new rig in 2024. Thought I was being frivolous and foolish with my money. I mean, I was, but I’ve now got a rig that should carry me through another 10 years

I would do this.
