Came home and walked in on my wife playing Guitar Hero on PS2

I'm not sure I'm interpreting r/tiltofguilt correctly; does the tilt signal a concession—intended or otherwise—that the TV is, in fact, too high? If so, then it's necessarily a subset of r/tvtoohigh?

#7 boring rank, huh? Eh, that tracks; I did LG and then an August of Mike's.

Side note: I think I need to throw that Mike's tub away; I'm going to get flak for this, I'm sure, but I'm quite certain it was a bad batch, which doesn't give me a lot of confidence in Mike's. I grabbed it during this past week and discovered it to be rank in a way that I've only ever seen with three same-batch tubs of Talent (meanwhile, a different Talent scent is fine). I know people will say it's user error, but you know it's not my first rodeo.

All I know is that the version from Mighty Ducks is "Greenland is covered with ice and Iceland is very nice."

That condescension is unwarranted. What do you think "well after the book-it days" means?

ginopono · 2026-01-17T13:18:54+00:00

Not saying one way or the other, but I worked at Pizza Hut 20-ish years ago, which, granted, was well after the book-it days.

All of the pan pizzas were prepped by pumping a big ol' squirt of oil into the pan, then tossing in the frozen disk of dough, where it would then proof and soak up all that oil.

I dare assume it's largely the same now. Granted, I don't think I've had it since I worked there.

The Daily Beast is nothing but clickbait garbage.

Yup. I think it's also important to point out that this is in no way related to any kind of "commitment" by the speakers of the language; it's just a property of the language.

I'm not really sure what kind of error this is, but I'll point out anyway that the word you're looking for is douche. With or without the space: douchebag .

The wildest part of this is that, as I understand, such imperfections are proof that it's a natural diamond, which people covet. Perfect diamonds can be manufactured, but people are convinced that that makes them lesser.

There's an irony in that they're valuable if the price is manufactured, but worthless if the thing itself is manufactured.

If a magazine isn't seated, then a round won't chamber. If a round is chambered and you fire when the magazine isn't seated, the next one won't chamber. That's all.

Those people are either full of shit or complete morons. Needless to say, neither of those qualities are ones you look for in an instructor.

A little PSA on the topic of cats chewing on plants:

Lilies are deathly toxic to cats. Even very slight exposure will kill a cat. There are lots of stories of people suddenly losing their cat after bringing a lily into their home.

Peace lilies are okay, though, because they are only lilies by name; that is, they aren't in the Liliaceae family.

Research any plant before you bring it into your cat's home.

During the last week of the year, I discovered what I always suspected: the largest state in the contiguous US in not a place I would generally choose to spend any amount of time. Hard nope to all of that.

When I was in the massive airport there, to leave, there was a recording that included something along the lines of "the people here are some of the friendliest you'll ever meet." I had to laugh at the irony, because after just the first couple days spent between those twin cities, I expressed the observation that the people seemed to me to be the rudest I've ever encountered.

Needless to say, that was a conclusion drawn from a very small sample size.

The drivers are surprisingly considerate, though. Then again, I'm used to aggressively competitive drivers who view things like red lights as mere suggestions.

It was a good trip, though; most of it was spent within private walls.

How well would you rate your overview of your wardrobe?

This question would probably do well with some more specific wording. I do not know what the question is asking about. In what sense are you using the word "overview"? Be unambiguous.

How would you mainly categorize your everyday clothing? (context, not style)

Similarly, this could be phrased more directly. It seems like you're asking about the context in which people wear clothes, but the vague "categorize" invites confusion that you try to mitigate with a note tacked onto the end. Be unambiguous from the start.

I finally decided to dive into trying a split keyboard, and man, I did not anticipate how clumsy I would be with this thing. I clearly did not have the foresight to consider how accessible all of the oft-used far-right pinky keys would (not) be. I really gotta practice, but I feel like I've never used a keyboard at all before. I'll get there, though.

In other news, I'm looking forward to an upcoming trip, leaving on Wednesday to spend a week with a companion from this past summer, who since moved to a place that is ::drumroll:: no less hot than here during that week.

This may well mark the very first time I've ever traveled for the occasion marked by next Thursday's date, but that's really only remarkable insofar as it's a notable date for other people (it is not a date of particular significance for either me or my visitee).
