One time I went to the restaurant DAMON BAEHREL. I was informed afterwards that it had a 10-year waiting list and only seated 100 people a month. Despite having regularly commuted between the Midwest and the East Coast, getting there felt like the longest road trip I’ve ever taken since I had to go with my mother-in-law and some of it is on a gravel road.

I had to Google DAMON BAEHREL to spell it and I’m not going to bother retyping it.

It was far and away the most pretentious, absurd, cartoonishly fancy experience I’ve ever had, and I’ve dressed up in antique ceremonial Moroccan robes for a banquet at the art museum in the city I grew up in. At the art museum I sat next to the mayor’s mother in a room of 200 people conversely, about 30 people total could fit into DAMON BAEHREL.

I thought the art museum banquet was fancy, but when I was little I thought Boston Market and IBC root beer were fancy.

DAMON BAEHREL was the kind of place that serves a dozen ‘courses’ but each one is like one cracker one sliver of cheese and one spritz of condiment with maybe a sliver of sausage made from some bespoke farm animal. He insisted that the water we were drinking was actually unreduced tree sap. Everything was served on various slabs of wood some with the bark still on it. The slabs were so much larger than the food It looked like putting a coin on a serving platter for each course.

I just felt embarrassed every time I looked at the Damon and his staff. They had clearly heard his bullshit so many times that it was hard for them to feign credulity anymore.

Anyway, that shit was way too fancy for me. Clearly it was just wasted on me.

It shouldn’t have to be repeated so often that maybe Republican voters aren’t who the Democratic party needs to be gearing itself to attract.

“turn the volume to infinite” this right here is what he was talking about

When I saw my first textbook that had an XKCD comic in it I had A little bit of a squeal of joy. I’m old What do I know.

“Holmgard and beyond! That’s where the winds will us guide!!”

There is a great mod for that!

It brings the wiki directly into the game so you can look up anything directly with the mouse and F1.

Havin a baeg of baegs is just one of those things you do in the Midwest. Donchya know

He also has a completely unhinged video about a unibikal I’m sure I misspelled that but I know that’s what he made because he’s completely unhinged.

I love this video so much but his entire channel is amazing.

The running of a super Nintendo game on Nintendo is batshit insane. This guy understands computer science and engineering in a way that makes it just seem like magic to me, and I’m a computer scientist who works as an engineer.

An immersion blender, it was $30 but it made my soups seem gourmet and let me recycle my gallons of lard into the best soap I have ever used.

Aside from that, I replaced two of my mismatched odd shaped PC monitors with 27" 4k monitors and the difference is amazing. The monitors were so cheap too only $110 each. Together with my super fancy main screens it really cleaned up the desktop.

There was a pretty great episode of Stargate that explained why offering a defensive technology like that is still offensive support.

In that circumstance we (earth) were literally just powering a shield and the good guys decided to stop supplying the fuel to power that shield because it turns out it was being used to defend the aggressive Nazi-like-analogs that were actually the instigators of the conflict.

Yea, Israel needs to back the fuck up and honor the ceasefire. Israel should also probably stop deploying terrorism as a tool of their war machine. Perhaps if they’d stop murdering civilians there would be something Israel has to say that’s worth listening to but until then they’re just fucking Nazis invading a neighboring country after having murdered a lot of its civilians under questionable circumstances with no review process.

UNIFIL are where they are supposed to be, Israel needs to respect the fucking deal that they signed and stop pretending like the soldiers protecting those villages are interfering with Israel in some way.

Israel is the bad guy here, there is no excuse for what they are doing or how they are doing it. They make the region and the world less safe and less stable. They do not honor their agreements. They do not respect human rights. They target families, men women children hospitals schools nothing is sacred.

Israel is a monster run by monsters for the benefit of monsters with the consent of monsters.

Israel is run by monsters to the benefit of monsters with the consent of monsters.

They are just mad that anyone would dare push back against their monstrous insanity. Israel thinks the international rule of law only applies to other countries, and will eventually learn what happens to countries that wipe their ass with human rights.

There will be a day they go to far for even the US to insulate them from the consequences of their actions, and when that happens I hope to see Bibi at the Hague with all of his genocidal buddies awaiting the same punishment we gave the Nazis that ran the camps.

I’ll take “why I’m not married” for 500 Alex.

Almost any adjective works. It’s the ‘you’ part that implies ire and intended denigration.

You incredible sock! You blind carrot! You empty bottle! You missing tooth! You complete thumb! You glazed pie! You stewed milk! You wet sandwich! You frosted toenail! You waxy discharge! You nauseous chifferobe!

Okay maybe not every one of them works but I think most of the time you can just put on a bad attitude and attach a adjective to an object to create some rare insults.

No data here just speculation

Nothing to see here

Kahn is the real deal. I hope Harris keeps her and gives her anything she asks for.

Lina Kahn could be the trust buster we need to get America’s shit together and maybe reign in some of these big businesses that seem to be completely above the law.
