This is your daily downer PSA: PFAs, aka forever chemicals, aren't plastics, they're forms of Teflon and a brand name you never hear about these days is to blame youtu.be/SC2eSujzrUY?...

Based on the latest MBMBaM, I have come to believe there are four elements: Time, Bearing, Heat, and Adreading. @griffinmcelroy.bsky.social
@jerf.xyz y'all have probably heard this from a bunch of people already, but I gotta let you know orange wine isn't made from oranges! I made the same mistake. Orange wine is white wine fermented with the skins, and rosé is red wine fermented without. Some oranges can be tasty
It would be buck wild if @teamcherry.bsky.social made a fighting game. I'd call it Hollow Knights
Revolutionary idea: the C++ std library shouldn't force every single C++ app to SmurfName their own local "SmurfMath.h" or "SmurfTime.h" files. Visual Studio or whoever needs to figure their shit out. Help me get this trending on hackernews. #cpp #visualstudio #vivalarevolution
The best TV shows have at least one "punk" season.
This is Capital N "News" that ZDNet buried in listicle-style cruft meant to thin the article for ad placement. If not, it's an outright lie meant for clickbait. There's no clear useful information for readers to act on or protect themselves. This is the internet. www.zdnet.com/article/mass...
A Taco Bell sign that says "Were Hiring."
I guess they found somebody.
Who the fuck is Tommy Tallarico and where's the version of him without the goatee
Hey, if you're going to buy a book, and you should buy a book, you might as well buy a fucking sexy book www.foliosociety.com/row/fiction/...
Gotta have one lil' guy for your various tinctures, strong brews, and atsukan. I might join tiny cup society
A carrying case of variously sized cups might be in order!
Getting to hang with Eris (Aeris?) for a tick was one of my favorite moments of the event this year by far.
Greatest Neo so far. Incredible adventures had with incredible people. I'm so inspired for next year
It looks like your adventures were out of this world. I'm so glad to see it! Make sure you bring a bigger tea cup next time you visit Obscurity!
I still want to play the original version that was an explicit criticism of capitalism
Oh ffs, how long did Android have it's own version of AirDrop? I can finally stop sharing photos with myself over FB Messenger! Thanks, QuickShare.
When I asked google what some causes of high blood pressure were, I didn't expect it to perfectly describe an average day of my life.
My recent clinical results make a lot more sense.
I cut out the booze. I guess I'll eat a banana?
@nextlander.com Also sorry for spamming you about jrock and not just showing the love. I appreciate you, the platform, and I personally have a particular set of skills.
I also suggest listening to some of the more objectively great L'Arc tracks for comparison. They might be contemporaneous for Japan, but they might be brand new to you which makes them pop (probably)
This one's from the intro to GTO: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzuu...
Ergo! I implore you to listen to the MOST absurd English speaking song L'Arc produced - a cover of "Careless Whisper" for Japanese TV. His performance was beloved, and understanding why helps grok Japan a little better. It's funny! But also honestly v. good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OZj...
@nextlander.com ltl,ftc! 1st: ilu. The watchcast about FF called me! The end theme can be rough. It's not L'Arc's best work. Some of the joy requires some cultural context, but pushing a JP song to the EN release is a choice that normally scares JP publishers away from an EN release all together.
