I am a scientist and it’s also my favorite movie I hate.

That’s a pitbull and I do wish people would stop adopting them because it just legitimizes the back yard breeders when they can use the rescue system to dump the dogs that didn’t sell.

I read sci-fi during the day, listen to literature when I’m falling asleep, and I just bought the first book in a fantasy series.

This looks like a great series. With regards to the audio books, do I want the older one with full cast or the newer recording ?

I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

I know that any task not done immediately will be permanently deleted from my attention span so I hyper focus on getting the entire task done in one go so I can forget about it. My annual review said I am one of the highest producers in the group.

It kills me when I download a simple app to my phone that’s 60 mb. When I was a child we built the world off 1.44 mb floppies. How did we stray so far from God’s light?

Targets.

Oologies. A charming interviewer talks to experts in various disciplines.

Boost gang!

Keva Lagos from The Last Emperoux by John Scalzi. Brilliant, profane, and aggressively sex positive. She steals the attention from every page she’s on.

Peak iron chef was when they had some kind of rare lobster and one chef boiled ten pounds of them to make stock for a soup. Like $10,000 of lobster for a soup. It was bananas .

Think about attending the funerals if you need the closure but you’re under no obligation.

She’d also get eaten by a fucking hyena .

My wife was getting trigger point injections for chronic pain. The LPN giving her the injections into her pelvic area was a redheaded knockout. My wife groaned in pain, the nurse leaned in for a better angle, I put my coat on my lap.

Even stuff outside disasters , like she pointed out that protracted heat waves can stress the power supplies and cooling systems of data centers and potentially break the internet. It was a terrifying presentation, and it was the keynote. She finished and the room was silent for a while.

I attended a presentation about the effects of increasing extreme weather events on infrastructure and the potential to amplify weather related disasters by a meteorologist from the Department of Homeland Security . Before the presentation I was asking myself why DHS has a meteorologist and by 5 minutes in I was in shock at the depth of the information presented and the number of national security risks presented by more frequent outlier storms and droughts. This presentation was based on existing events and did not speculate about causes of climate change . It was one of the best presentations I’ve ever seen and it saddens and scares me that such a vastly intelligent person and her coworkers are getting shit canned because of a narrow and poorly thought out ideology . We are magnificently fucked.

It’ll also dissolve the plastic . This is terrible advice .

You can buy a big box of alcohol wipes for cheap. They’re great for cleaning small things like earbuds and the case.
