Even if we fudge things and use “street value”, like… does that even work out in terms of product denied? Like all other hellscapes aside, this is still more expensive than just buying the drugs, right?
I mostly just reply to stuff with piss-takes —frequently a fool. He/Him, all opinions expressed are quite possibly poorly thought out.

Goth Mxmmy Sorry, I’m trying to delete.
Whereas I’d like to cheekily submit that Tunnel in the Sky is portal fantasy but not isekai.
Alright, Spaxe Force hq is moving and he’s “definitely” gonna invade Chicago at an unspecified time or something.
The announcement was that it was getting delayed half an hour (and then again until 2:45 eastern)
You can just eat it while resting if you lay on your back and have someone feed it to you like grapes. You’ll catch all the juice, it’s fine.
That’s hella more convenient than the “from:” method, nice!
For seersucker I’m thinking gravy.
For good cotton maybe a date jam? Obviously Worcestershire sauce is for wool. Flannel would be maple syrup?
The point is that you need more than that. Knowing distance between shoulder, length of the arm seam, etc is more useful than just knowing height
“Jerry somehow managed to keep posting from beyond the veil, we should probably set up a religion about it”
In Portland we mostly just have the Terwilliger Curves which is a chunk of I-5 which changes curve direction like 5 time and is also not banked properly for the speed limit Every year the first time the roads get properly wet (and therefore all the oils from the asphalt emerge) we get crashes there
It suck’s that handling a massive disaster absurdly well (Y2K) and poorly are both somehow reasons for us to lose the capacity to respond to disasters.
Good morning to the person who made a crochet aquarium and no one else
It just feels like a beret in your hair! And every time you walk by a mirror but don’t actually look you feel somewhat prettier as a passive boost!
Also holy shit does that stuff strip oils. I love so many things it does but like… ffs an oil removing all other oils is some BS. It and WD-40 both do that and I’m mad about it.
Dr Bronners and Tea trea oil are the only reason crustpunks haven’t turned the US into one giant cyst, and most of them can’t afford tea tree oil.
One of my favorite authors would probably have written about mushrooms, ferns, colonial invaders being destroyed by those they stole land from, and birds/raccoons who were altered by reality anyways, but with Florida involved it goes harder (or “is better”, depends on your point of view)
That’s just Florida being Florida. Like, it’s gonna make anything more fecund and also it’s gonna make your relation with what nature does more… whatever it was before. But more so. Jeremy enjoys his nature walks even more, random crustpunk develops new and exciting forms of skin conditions, etc
Seattle had crustpunk houses that were worse but Portland had more crustpunk houses where the denizens *would show up to your potlucks!!!* *with food!!*
Grimes is like 82 Portlandia jokes stacked back to back (I still blame Fred Armisen the most for that shit, tho)
As someone who was born and raised in Portland… Yeah, you’re just so utterly correct with this one.
Once someone crashes a houseboat and abandons it because she can’t figure out how to make it float *or* obtain lifeboats, like… We already had Terry Gilliam pushing the limits of “but what if you kept failing at things”. Grimes was the final straw.
I blame Grimes.
It’ll be a lot easier to remember if you visit the PNw again and hit up a liquor store (the stuff usually gets prominent placement because we’re proud of it)
Tess I know you’re a whiskey girl but you gotta try the cranberry wild roots vodka.
I used to be able to put so much of it away because all the other flavors meant quaffing it best didn’t make my stomach flip. Dangerous stuff (like how Wild Roots vodka is dangerous)
It’s not even fierce attacking bites! They’re not really interested in the string! They just peacefully cuddled sit in my arms while slowly chewing on it.
Specifying “I’ve only ever obtained them as gifts and have been wearing one for more than 30 years” just seems appropriate because tourists bought them all the time before Moana was released and now it’s ever the more so.
Oh yeah, for ouza that’s absolutely the appeal, and I guess Jaeger and Absinthe have that too (although ouzo does it better imo).
No, it’s just an entirely different culture’s thing. It’s a hand-carved bone fishhook related to the stories about Maui.
Holy shit the the kittens like chewing on it, tho.
Not to claim faith or anything, I’ve just been wearing one for more than 30 years and every single one has been obtained by someone who isn’t entirely sure how they got it giving it to me, which is allegedly the most culturally appropriate way to obtain one?
My hippy upbringing insists that as long as it tastes bad then it can’t possibly be bad for me so…. Yeah, something.
It’s all better than my “if these kittens destroy my makau” problem because what are the odds of someone I know having one lying around that they themselves can’t remember where they got it?
Oof. It’s not at all comparable but that sounds a lot like my mechanical keyboard needs getting specific enough that almost nothing is ever quite what I want.
The first time I ever had one was at a dinner party thrown by my now wife. We all had to wear fancy hats (the first 30 minutes of the party was making fascinators for anyone who wanted one). That is to say “such absolutely amazing memories”
If the come out and say it’s ordinaire rather than extraordinaire that’s technically fair in my book (I have one friend who is stuck between “too old for jaegermeister” and “pretending he’s too young for ouzo” who drinks the stuff)
The French 75 Official motto: “Because no one had invented the Long Island Iced Tea yet”
HE WAS DRINKING CHAMPAIGN IN THAT SAME SITTING! ADD ST GERMAINE AND HE COULD HAVE HAD FRENCH 75S!
At least that shit all added up and killed him, so there’s that.
I mean, it probably would. It only takes three passes through a britta to make it acceptable ish (you gotta start with a new filter and chuck it afterwards)
It’s be interesting to see if Hood Rivers Distilleries vodka still has that noticeable “this is a poison” taste after your process was done to it.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, that would make sense. It’s just an easy way to cover up the fact that you’re using shite ingredients. Kinda like overhopping beer.
It’s an outfit designed with bathroom genital inspections in mind, I guess?
Yeah. What’s hilarious is he was such an alcoholic yet STILL couldn’t keep up with FDR and Stalin.
England went through a period of time where they were drinking gin by the pint and it’s all the Dutch’s fault, which really explains a lot about why England is Like That, if you think about it.
The WTYP episode about beer covered gin briefly but mostly the “beer was tightly regulated and taxed but gin was at worst taxed about the same per pint as beer was” Which like… lol, people were drinking pints of gin oh dear.
Wikipedia also says that gin existing is all the fault of the Dutch.
Oh! And then they started using barley that was so crap that it was unfit for beer to make gin, so the juniper was there to hid any of the other tastes (And beer was highly regulated but making gin wasn’t sooo)
Well, there’s how it was made originally vs how it’s made now. I think the starting point was using wine that was crap enough that you couldn’t use it for brandy with juniper berries and then distilling that?
That doesn’t explain the Vesper, tho. Fuck, what an awful drink.

Alright, gonna go crack a wishbone and think about how much a physically debilitating but otherwise recoverable stroke would cause coup attempts on the right.
That and a lapdesk or two is a pretty perfect way to sit on the floor and read or do homework or w/e
From personal experience they make fold out frameless sofas that work better for that (it was the sofa on my first apt, takes up hella less room than a sofa and is also significant easier to get up stairs than a hidabed)
My back started hurting during that one, and I slept on a futon for the first 20 years of my life.
The “guitar center should have one day a week where only women can shop there” one was pretty solid. Probably the best one since “if you move a place you should do volunteer stuff” imo. But yeah, mostly it’s a weird tangent or bad.
here’s a version where the POV is blacked out whenever the driver takes their eyes off the road
Oh shit, that’s amazing news!
Wtaf. This seems worse than the earlier leaked beta control center stuff, even?
This does give me an inspiration to do a focaccia with bits of prosciutto or thin sliced ham sprinkled on the top, tho. Garlic and large grain salt love a bit of ham anyways, y’know?
Yeah, I just made the switch to Dr scrolls of all things because apparently now I have Old Man feet that are mad at me all the time. Does adidas still do those really thin but nice hoodies that will air dry fast? I swear they had one like that back when they was amazing for like, couch surfing etc.
They have those ankle socks with the extra sweat absorption and the extra thick sole to give you a bit more cushion. That was back when air fair automatically allowed you checked luggage for free some times, too!
I remember my mum used to get Nike store from her work and then wait and use them when family was visiting from states that had sales tax. So many of the good socks, sports bras, plus the occasional hoodie.
You can just say “Istanbul Was Constantinople on Loop”. We know it was wrong to do.
What a majestic name for a band, amirite?
16: dick infection caused by Laura Loomer never brushing her teeth.
342: got the spray tanner and Diet Coke mixed up. Drank the former and coated himself in the latter.
I will say that I’m really pumped about the potential value for fatty liver and PCOS that they’re looking at GLP-1 antagonists for. If we can get better treatments for those two then wow holy shit that’s great.
I think it was a bump in production plus the people who sell it being worried that tariffs are gonna push prices- it’s easier to keep a customer through a price jump than acquire news ones through a price jump?
Chinch got harassed off the internet and Lorenz is still doing whatever it is she does. There’s no justice in this world.
I’d rather have late ribs than a timely microwave meal or ramen, y’know?
And yeah, that fact makes no sense if you look into Rudolph Steiner himself but like *shrug*
If there’s a Waldorf school near you at all they usually have The Good Stuff, as an extra option if there isn’t a Jewish community center near you or anything. (It used to also be cheap to get UK or German versions sent over around the holidays but I’m pretty that ship has sailed/been set on fire),
Having a Jewish godmother/itish Catholic godfather (one of the most beautiful and AMERICAN pairings of all time imo) was amazing. My godmother’s parents would ship a bunch to us from New York every year.
Those ones don’t keep for nearly as long but like…. They’re also good enough that no shit it doesn’t matter that they’re not gonna stay good for that long.
Country of origin and target demographic also *really* matters. If they’ve got actual US coin faces on them they’re bad, if they’ve got star of Davids, menorahs and dreidels on them they’re either the same thing with different foil or noticeably better If they’re from England, etc they’re good
The kind sold specifically for Hanukah are usually better than the ones with Christmas related symbols or “America” related stuff, for what it’s worth. That or ones not sold in the US.
(This worked out REALLY well for me when it later turned into my sister saying “I’m bored, here’s some money to go buy the two things I need to bake cookies” ^_^ )
My sister would totally save up change and then send me to the store to get us both some pizza sticks, lol. My parents thought it was hilarious when they discovered we had reinvented “I’ll buy if you fly” on our own.
Now it’s like “Seanan McGuire had a printing of Velveteen Vs done and I could just buy it?!” and “someone I know had access to a vinyl printer for a while? Someone else made replicas of MtG art using a typewriter and I have a T-shirt of a mox opal in that style now?”
20-25 years ago I got a Tim Powers chapbook of one of his short stories as a “the one thing I REALLY want” birthday present and the idea of lit that I wanted to get a special edition printing of was a total surprise.
Items kinda nice that the quality of collectibles/decor for my niche specifically has gone up as my ability to get them has.
Yeah, playmats are really good at taking printing. The deskmats that get sold when keycap sets get made are fucking amazing in terms of fidelity and saturation compared to anything you could do on a shirt “Oh, your coffee themed deskmat is four different shades of brown? Yeah, we can make that pop”
No, no, the iron law of Blooski says you’re 38. (Look, this gives me 2 more years before I’m 40, let’s let ourselves have this)
Did you folks do chili cheese jojos? I stg they’re like a strict upgrade to chili cheese fries.
I kinda like the idea of Corwin having a secret family in the new wife-pattern he opened up while he dodges child support payments (ie stays the fuck away so Dara can’t try to get Random replaced with him)
If you really want to enjoy the zoo stand at an exhibit until a little kid looks like they really wants to infodump on someone and then let them tell you all about their favorite animal.
“I went to an ice cream truck and there were a bunch of kids ahead of me in line”-ass levels of misunderstanding the fucking point.
WTF? Look, I love going to zoos and museums for events where there aren’t kids but like… That shit is for them. We just get to enjoy them too as adults. Do people not remember how magical going to the zoo was as a kid? That’s like complaining that baskin robins has too many kids!
It just reads like someone did an actual campaign and then Zelazney wrote it all down! Particularly the part where your average D&D party is extremely incompetent!
Bautista does “hey, we’re buddies, it’s suddenly natural that we hang out now” really well, is part of my Ganelon take, if that makes sense. And then hey, he’s a godamn shapeshifter, y’know? Billy Crystal as Dworkin is 1,000,000% based on him in Princess Bride, lol.
Corwin Eric Deidre, Fiona Bleys Brand, Caine Julian Gerard l. Everyone else is either a one-off or their sibling don’t factor into the five books that were written.
How would you feel about Bautista as Ganelon for the parts where Oberon is back and meddling but being sneaky about it? It seems like a “no matter how crafty they are Oberon can blindside them” level choice and then we’d get a really good Ganelon vs Gerard tussle.
Since my brain can’t stop doing this: Tom Holland for Random, or does someone else have a better idea? Scarlet Johanssen for Flora is a gimme (and otherwise she’ll want to play Dworkin or something, and obviously Billy Crystal gets Dworkin)
Yeah, and Ritchson probably could pull of the “admiral of the fleet, laughing and quaffing wine” thing - it’d just work best with him and the big little brother if you picked someone with the gravitas of Brolin. And let’s not forget that Channing Tatum is very good at being massive, y’know?
Those steps by the entrance look like someone is gonna fall through them any year now too, right?
It occurs to me that the Moxen cycle of shirts must be *really* sensitive to the neckline and shoulders of the shirt (Plus I’m pretty sure black is the only color they’d work on, although on the flip side the lotus on the pink has me drooling)
you just know somebody’s being called by their full name right now
