me: i know but it's on sale and i like this brand of olive oil and i haven't had it in a long time. we only have one unopened bottle at home. her (suspicious): and how full is the open bottle? me (dejected): ... very.

Adobe offering me AI assistant summaries on PDFs is so stupid because 99% of my PDFs are variously 1) book-length, 2) not in latin script, 3) one page long, 4) forms and/or 5) written by me. Once or twice I've hit the AI summary button For Science and it wasn't even good enough to be comedy.

I love that Dynamite is the kind of show where seeing 10 minutes left in the slot doesn't always mean that we're getting the usual bullshit outcome. I'm so happy about the way things turned out today.

From wikipedia. Can someone do the math on this for me please?

@cecilnyx.bsky.social need to do a match with instant replay/video review

FALLS COUNT SOMEHOW

Just brought in 8 litres of sap. It's that time of year again!

i went to aew tonight and one of my signs seems to have made some people happy

On this last weekend's UFC broadcast two top-10 women were fighting. The chiron facts for them were "T-7th all time UFC Strawweight Submission Attempts (6)" and "1 of 11 active UFC Flyweights" Some good promotion there, boss. Real top-tier shit.

anyone have a recommendation for an attic greek lexicon at a decent price? Something suitable for reading Xenophon?

Is there some kind of weird japanese commerce law that taxes media companies differently if they "Export" their broadcasts? Is that why all Japanese combat sports (Rizin, JKick, Ozumo, puro) are so hard to watch from outside of Japan?

we have @patrickwyman.bsky.social throwing some hands at deserving targets on the most recent tides. Good stuff.

if you're making meatballs and you can't decide whether to make them small or large, in my experience medium is a good compromise

Making my first orzotto, out of elk sausage that a hunter friend gave to us.

This right here says quite a lot about both of its subjects

my new theory is that the Romans were into blinding their opponents because the verb οραω is such a pain in the ass

The sumo basho starting this weekend has potential to have lots of historic outcomes

New Lariat Doctrine post! This time, I talk about the STO (Space Tornado Ogawa) and the ōsotogari 🥋 I go thru: • the judo base • Ogawa’s adaptation • why it’s so good/devastating • the variants that followed #WrestleSky 🤼‍♂️ open.substack.com/pub/justinck...

(First) 10 authors (I could think of that) I've read 10 or more books from Gene Wolfe Ursula Le Guin Terry Pratchett William Gibson William Shakespeare John Milton Kurt Vonnegut Roger Zelazny Stephen King CS Lewis Quite a few 9s. I guess I don't read a ton of serial fiction.

I'm in a bistro in Rome with my love and Im using software in my phone to spoof hardware that puts my device virtually in the UK to avoid roaming charges, and then more software to trick my software into thinking I'm back in Canada. For Valentines we're having pizza in a William Gibson novel.

First round of basic milk paint tests.

the chair is finished. Made from brown ash, finished with blo and beeswax. Design by Chris Schwarz of lost art press etc.

Every time I reread "The Garden Party" I loathe those characters even more. What a great story.

after a couple days of thinking about paint i just put blo on it. It'll b sittable in about 3 days

Gene Munny vs Psycho Mike is my moty so far

learning to make stick chairs because i have lots of access to the materials. this is my first one ever, on a Chris Schwarz pattern, but with some material substitutions that made things harder for myself. not quite finished. one more glue session then finish sanding.

work in progress. hand cut dovetails in oak and one of my first attempts at strapwork/scroll work style chip carving, inspired by the work of peter follansbee

Found this on wikipedia. imagining some scientists making dispassionate notes while observing a dude take drugs, read comic books, and shit himself

i once gave a nod of acknowledgement to Spenny when he was smoking outside a bar i was walking past

my friend asked to borrow some carving tools. When I checked to see if she has a mallet, she only has a rubber one. Well, a bit of time on the lathe, and she will have a mallet. (ash with blo and beeswax)

That Roddy-Claudio match was so good and the finish was awesome.

@bretdevereaux.bsky.social wrt yesterday's article - are you familiar with the concept of "pressure" in a boxing/combat sports sense? I see a significant overlap with the model you're discussing and the way "pressure fighting" works.

@allelitewrestling.com just FYI I'm really cranky that I can't get a winnipeg presale ticket, even though I have a code, because I don't have an AMEX.

the really funny thing about the disney/sora thing is that disney is paying to be humiliated. am I kinkshaming?

a big reason that adjunct faculty and contingent university staff don't organize is that we're so isolated from each other. The indignities we suffer in the role are suffered alone and they leave me wanting to just walk away from the profession rather than fight for its future.
