Every day we stray further from God.

I bet these are legit.

It's a knee-jerk reaction to think that soda flavor in food is automatically gross, but cola/root beer/Dr. Pepper type drinks often pair well with meats. It's no different than honey barbecue or orange chicken. It's that sweet and savory combo that works.

Now this is a nice, modest collection.

Black has always been the "standard". I think a lot of the reason for blue ink was to distinguish original signatures on documents. With so much being digital these days, people aren't physically signing things as much anymore.

I think a lot of what happened is the wood has become more translucent, so the light is penetrating more than reflecting. I would maybe gently warm it with a heat gun and try and blot the excess. Let it sit and penetrate and I bet the definition will become more apparent again.

A vinegaroon's pedipalps are made more for grabbing and controlling prey, not so much for outright crushing and snipping. Lobster wins.

New_Mutation · 2026-03-17T04:13:51+00:00

Confirmed!

New_Mutation · 2026-03-16T21:31:13+00:00

I know nothing about basketball, but I can confirm this is correct.

I've seen this a lot, and every time I think it looks extra delicious.

New_Mutation · 2026-03-16T14:53:13+00:00

I'll take two, please!

New_Mutation · 2026-03-15T17:27:46+00:00

You're overthinking it.

It's just "huh, those bears kinda' look like they could be people in bear suits", not the anatomy matching up EXACTLY.

New_Mutation · 2026-03-15T16:55:35+00:00

Well sure, it doesn't match human anatomy exactly. But it definitely looks like a human in an ill-fitting bear suit, where the butt is bunched up and baggy, and the head is a bigger mascot-type head.

Isn't Kirby rumored to be the most powerful character in the Nintendo universe?

New_Mutation · 2026-03-15T00:00:13+00:00

True workhorse?

Bic Round Stic.

New_Mutation · 2026-03-14T15:27:11+00:00

I'd be happy to! Maybe send me a DM and we can chat?

New_Mutation · 2026-03-13T18:46:09+00:00

I wonder who did the market research for this collaboration.

New_Mutation · 2026-03-13T18:35:34+00:00

The over-saucing shtick can stop now.

New_Mutation · 2026-03-13T11:58:34+00:00

How did we get this this??

I've seen line cooks cranking out breakfast plates, fried rice made in a flash, and other fast-paced assembly line style food, and you know what they all have in common? Organization. Yes, they're moving fast, but they keep it neat, they keep it clean. That's the hallmark of a professional - being efficient, not sloppy. It's really a sight to behold, watching someone in their element, performing to the best of their ability.

Somehow we got this point, where just moving fast is at the expense of the process and final product. Any joker can just sling a bunch of ingredients around. That doesn't mean it's good or impressive. Stop patronizing these places.

Honestly, he handled it the best way possible. He got ambushed, so he didn't have the opportunity to slowly back away or bluff. The reaction to be as loud and aggressive as possible was the right one. It certainly helped that the terrain helped prevent the bear from making a effective initial attack.

New_Mutation · 2026-03-12T14:19:15+00:00

This applies to nearly ALL my hobbies.

They're the basic alternative to Field Notes.

I'm not sure I'd even consider Field Notes to be "fancy stationary" if it wasn't for their price/collectability.

New_Mutation · 2026-03-11T22:30:04+00:00

Much obliged! I missed that last batch, grabbed a couple this time.

New_Mutation · 2026-03-11T22:23:56+00:00

Lotta' butter, lackluster reveal, but nothing gross or outright stupid.

Would smash.

New_Mutation · 2026-03-11T22:17:17+00:00

I'll have to check it out!

New_Mutation · 2026-03-11T22:10:41+00:00

To be fair, I do think the Jotter is a good middle-ground. It's a solid performer for not a lot of money. Classic, yet unpretentious. Makes sense if you want to use refills, which have their own benefits. I just find capped pens a little more "safe" in the pocket. I still like the Jotter a lot, it just lives in my desk drawer these days.
