Dusty Chalk

I totally agree with the points you're making -- everyone wants to see an end to this madness, cease-fire on both sides, living in peace and harmony, but no-one can envision how to get there from here. Especially when something like October 7 happens, which cannot be ignored. I applied for a job for a company in Israel right before October 7. I would like to ping them again, but I don't know how to even broach the subject of, "hey, are you all alright?" I'm afraid I might be turned into an anti-Hamas extremist, myself.

Google just suggested to me "hamburger soup" recipe on Preppy Kitchen, and there were links to "lasagna soup", "chicken pot pie soup", and "taco soup" -- is that what inspired you to try that?

Thank you so much for looking that up for me.

Re: John Oliver -- he's not entirely unbiased. He still does the same thing the rest of the liberal media (and Roger Waters) does to Israel in terms of expressing outrage over their actions. Oh, and I definitely disagree with him about children. I FUCKING HATE CHILDREN. I have had that protective instinct completely taught out of me BY CHILDREN who tried to drop things on my head while I was moving back in March and April. I hope those kids die, and soon.

Same. I stand with Israel, and that's all I'll say about it. We're going to have enough problems of our own if Trump wins the primaries. And different ones if he doesn't. over the next year.

Happy belated! (party favour noise)

Wait, the lyrics to "Danger Zone" were written by Giorgio Moroder?!?!?

Fingers and toes crossed for Iceland and Birgir and Björk and Sólstafir and Árstíðir and...well, just everyone.

Happy birthday, ryeman! Thank you for being part of my inspiration in my quest to the deliciousness of rye. (party favour noise)

Happy birthday, fisherman! (party favour noise) If a fish farts and there aren't any sonar technicians to hear it, does it make a sound?

I approve of the bean:everything else ratio.

Last night, the guy next to me texted a picture of dessert to his wife, and his wife texted back (and I quote): F U Just Stop. The offending picture was one of one of these:

"Three fifty and a biscuit" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

What about Savatage?

"Dream" == "goal" == "aim"

Update: I could be wrong about that, I was looking at the 16" prices, thinking it was for a 14". All I saw at the B&H site was that it was a limited edition and the higher price. Yeah yeah, I know I know, "that's what she said".

A little disappointed that black is more expensive. Black is the absence of colour, so it should be cheaper. I guess that's on-brand.

Yes, this is the biggest part of the announcement that excites Dusty. They should've called it Void Black or something. It's a trick. It's so off brand.

Macbook Pro...in BLACK.

I will not pretend to be anywhere near the caliber of the talent here, but I just bought two electric saws. Suitable for framing.

Damn that Gretsch is beautiful. Wish it came in barito...oh, wait, I have that one.

You know, if you distribute the computer to a bunch of slices (shaped like an ...I don't know... orange slices, perhaps?) and then buss them together and space them apart, the cooling would be scary good, wouldn't it?
