This is a color photo. This is, somehow, my happy place.

In my happy place.

What an excellent use of wealth; to truly love thy neighbor. As my partner said this morning, the next time we travel to a new place, we're buying whatever Rick Steves is selling.

Crepe batter in the blender achieved almost perfect laminar flow this morning. Cooking is a great nerd activity.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 19: Misty Morning Stanley Park, Vancouver December 2020

Ugh. One of my sisters had her garage flood and some water made it into the rest of the basement. This is going to be a giant mess for so many people.

"Wake up, babe. New kind of passive-aggressive cat just dropped."

Pulitzer. We'll figure out the category later.

One of the joys my wife and I had recently was overcoming the resistance of our children to any movie more than five years old, and introducing them to The Princess Bride. They loved it. "Anybody want a peanut?" echoed through our house for weeks afterwards. Rest in peace.

@cviibyz.bsky.social this is an extremely random question, and I'm not expecting you to know, but if you were looking for sources for pictures of ancient Egyptian dwellings where would you start? My middle schooler has a project and wants to draw homes for nobles/middle class/poor Egyptians.

Chuck, I love you, but, other than the rock-hard nature of the apple, this entire review could have been: Move fish, Get out the flav, Get out the flav, fish Get out the flav.

This is a fine thing to want and there's no reason to believe it will work even ignoring the emergency room context everyone is coming up with. Also $1T/yr is roughly the size of the Medicare budget.

As a parent of a kid on the spectrum, bless these spaces. All info dumping, all the time.

This is @hockeyviz.com's ideal quilt.

The Name Everything Darren Aronofsky Has Directed Challenge.

I think I might be on Team Tank now (tail spinna for McKenna?). The Canucks out played the Wings pretty handily, and got goalied. This is a cursed franchise until the Aquilinis sell.

Let me just say: I have run more than a dozen marathons and an ultramarathon and I have worked 13-hour days in a cornfield in the scorching-ass sun, and none of those things broke me like breastfeeding. It’s not a question of will. I am a determined person. Sometimes your body just WONT DO IT.

Using this as the start of having "The Talk" with my kids about being Canucks fans.

All they have is hate. And hate cannot build anything that lasts.

My only nit with this is that Excel is probably also the most successful specialist programming language in history.

Canada gets Freeze, which... yeah.

¿Por qué no los dos?

Seagull With Diarrhea Barely Makes It To Crowded Beach In Time

This is how it's done.

Goddammit people, the metric system is right there. This article reads like the author very recently wrote an article about a small species of rhino and couldn't believe their luck.

PSA: This is the tree stand to buy. We've had it for years now, and it is incredibly stable, easy to set up, and holds a metric assload of water. You step down on the handle/lever to clamp the tree in place so you don't need to fiddle with horribly placed thumb screws.

Do you think when Ken Burns is on a video call his camera just slowly pans across him, in and out, and back and forth, and on the diagonal?

Another year, another narrow escape from the mandolin.

This is an excellent thread, and reminds me that two of the great programmers I've known in my career were an organic chemist and a biologist who both wanted to do interesting things with computers as a tool. They didn't care about programming except as means to an end.

Uh, she's a brick house She's mighty, mighty Just lettin' it all hang out And she's a brick house I like lady's stacked, that's a fact Ain't holding nothing back Uh, she's a brick house Well we're together, everybody knows This is how the story goes

This is a production. 10/10 😭😭😭 THE LEAVES 🍂 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Feeling a lot better about my Seattle classic backyard right now.

I was not aware that the RCAF could drop bombs this accurately.

Asshole buddies remain both the best and worst parts of sports.

Did anyone ever work out whether dimetapp actually did anything or was just grape sugar water our parents gave us to shut us up?

I'll be writing a weekly column for CanucksArmy while keeping Pass it to Bulis going on Substack.

It was so embarrassing when we both showed up to the Oscar's dressed like this.

well for starters, what it's like being male middle class and white

I feel like it would just be cheaper to fund the relevant food safety agencies, but I guess we could also plan to spend two weeks a month on the shitter.

I reference TTFP *all the time* when I'm talking to people about moderation/the experience of being female in technology

Sharing to note that while Daniel remains awesome, Vancouver Is Awesome is in need of a new name.

opened package, had this instead...

Real cursed shit for those of us of a certain age (complimentary).

Journalism Ethics Professor: In my class I invented Don't Fuck the Source as a cautionary tale. America's Elite Reporting Institutions: At long last, we have Fucked the Source from classic journalism class Don't Fuck the Source.

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig
