After IBM outsourced their contract maintenance to a Chinese owned enterprise the government mandated replacing IBM servers in sensitive areas. So we've been joking for awhile about "yes, yes you can get fired for buying IBM".

Only after exhausting every other possible option…

My future colonoscopies will now be titled “Journey to the Uncanny Valley” Thank you for that.

“tieflings are fun My Little Pony people who can set you on fire!”

Copied straight into my DM scrivener. I really needed a different angle on them to add to my NPC bag and this is perfect.

“Divorcing my mare” was right there

My Following feed is so much saner since I filtered out reposts. Signal:Noise ratio balance is so hard to achieve online.

I bought the Emporia (see Wirecutter) running 5 nights/week for two years, plugged into a dedicated 220 line in the garage. Rock solid choice for me.

What if every sophomore had to play Diplomacy for a week in SocStudies? I think about this a lot.

I use Daniel Gritzer’s ratio for an 8oz shell-
3 eggs : 1c whole milk

but note that he also has 8oz of leftover soft cheese cubes in there too

It's called the Rocky Mountain Way, I cite Joe Walsh as my source.

I love Paprika - it’s popular, easy to use, web scraping is solid, editing/notating/scaling recipes is built in. www.paprikaapp.com

Paprika Recipe Manager for iOS, Mac, Android, and Windows

So the Duncan equivalent of a novella…

There is an inverse correlation between Colorado temperatures and green chile consumption. Not that we don’t eat it all the time, but sometimes I feel like it might be the *only* thing we eat during arctic blasts based on all the pics in my feed today.

I’ve read this three times now, one of the most compelling LotR reframing’s I’ve seen.

Not done with this one.

And then everyone went to the diner for a piece of pie.

It happens to me occasionally with junior engineers. I try to latch onto one of their observations and say “ I’m really glad you picked up on that, it was hard to nail the final design there.” I’m encouraging them and acknowledging I’m the author in a way where I assume they know who I am.

We always make extra baked potatoes, the leftovers crisp up amazingly well in a frying pan and hashed anything is awesome. Or in my case today served alongside scrambled eggs, refries, and leftover green chile.

Had a co-worker who honestly believed the phrase was "grilled your loins" which, after the inevitably hilarious correction, became the office catchphrase for months.

haha yes (I thought the dragon avatar would give me away…)

There is a birds vs dragons schism in our family, guess where I fall…

So about 5-6 TD’s per possession then, seems do-able.
