Ok, so the sale frenzy now is bad and I should feel bad, but during the extended Black Friday remix I was able to get the cute dinosaur arigurumi kits for $15 from the Container Store.
The page is wrong -- it says both lion and dino, and friends I GOT DINO. (I'll give the real link in the thread.)

Today on Volts: I've had more requests to cover this than almost any other topic in the pod's history, so now, at long last, balcony solar! We dig into how "plug-in solar" took off in Europe & how it's making its way to the US, starting in Utah. Backyard DIY types rejoice!
What's the deal with balcony solar?
Cora Stryker joins me to explain how "plug-in" solar took Europe by storm and is finally, via Utah (?), making its way to America.

It’s only a war crime if it happens in a state of war approved by Congress. Otherwise, it’s just sparkling mass murder.

They told me how much I belonged right up to the day they laid me off.
The next job, they told me how much I belonged right up to the performance review with surprise metrics I’d been explicitly told DIDN’T count.

"you belong here" means "you are responsible for staying here and fixing this no matter what" when it is delivered to you by someone who also says "and I cannot be held responsible for ever making you feel like you belong and are seen"
This is why I don't accept invites to talk to girls about tech

I believe a lot of folks underestimate the bruising psychological effect of being told "you belong here" while simultaneously being consistently oppressed by the same people

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

I realized why I love fado so much: it’s goth blues. (Maybe I’m refining too much on Mísia and RosaNegra. But that’s the ~feeling~ I get.)
I need to stop listening to it, because the European Portuguese accent is perfectly fine but fucks up my Brazilian pronunciation.

I’ve twice told the library that certain CDs are skipping, and they look at me utterly blankly when I asked if they would fix them and then I could check them out again, so I am returning to the Old Ways.
Brasso + fado = beautiful nonskipping music :)

I was feeling pretty great about the MacBook deal I got until Best Buy arbitrarily cancelled the order the day _after_ it was supposed to arrive. Given that several other orders, placed at the same time with the same cash back deal, arrived, I can only assume it’s fuckery. (I did ask. No reason.)

Should I write a book?
I’m kinda thinking if it. I do have a few things to say that I think are useful to people who aren’t me.

I rowed an hour this morning, without stopping for more than a few seconds to scratch my nose. This is the longest I’ve rowed at once; I’ve felt able to for a few weeks, but decided to save it for the holiday challenge concept2 runs every year.
That’s a long way from my 5min/day start in January.

FYI, your library has movies you can check out for the holiday weekend. They may have toys, board games, or activity kits to check out for the kids and grandkids.
The library is awesome and you should check it out.

This is one of my favorite recipes. I found a new way to make it easier: buy 2x as much, chop all the veggies at the same time and make one recipe’s worth while freezing the other. I just stuck it all in a gallon ziplock and it was fine after 3mo in the freezer.
