Do a running person stick figure graphic behind the medals that have stained glass effects.

The main thing long term for me is accepting that quitting can really suck. After day 1, remember you don't want to do that day again. After day 2, remember you don't want to go through those last two days again. It's worked for me for 15 years.

To water down all the spices.

The second because it's not an iconic bridge (to me) so having it in focus means I can see the view and enjoy the coffee.

Wokeness I assume. If memory serves, they changed to Calibri because san serif fonts are easier for low vision, dyslexia, and I think a couple other challenges.

Pick a team as that will curse/bless you to immediately get a team (picked Boston, got Seattle)

Happy World Linguistics Day from Seattle, USA!

A book cover with the title of YOU SUCH AT COOKING split by a piece of toast with holes in it to make a frowny face.

You Suck at Cooking. I've given it to at least three people now, and is actually a go to for me. The chocolate loaf cake thing is great.

Sick inflection

Everyone should own one emergency book that they'll never read, and then buy more books to continue avoiding reading it.

Since the plural of attorney general is attorneys general, then the plural of brother in law should probably be brothers in law. Would that make the shorthand "ins law"?

To provide further clarification, that will be never see these posts again. Almost like erasure.

Feeling a bit frustrated so I'll handle my Politico problem.

I'm losing the last frame consistently

A single black and grey Nike running shoe, no laces, tongue pulled up, sitting upright on a dirty grey sidewalk.

Shoes going rogue is always such a weird story chain in my mind.

Four lumpy bagels on a bamboo cutting board.

Third time making bagels. They came out a good size, crisp outer, maybe a little underbake right inside the crust. Good flavor overall.

Shaping

A little small (okay, a lot) but the flavors pretty good. Now to get the shaking and sizing down.

Six bagels on a cooling rack. They are irregular in shape, and have ranges of coloring showing where they were unevenly baked.

I forgot to buy bagels so I made some. This is the second time (last time was something like 6 months ago), and they look better but I think my dough forming needs some more work.

I do have 208 inches of uncommitted bookshelf (plus some if I laid books sideways, but no). I like these for work tables and sideboards though.

I finally got a book shelf I like, migrated books to it, and now have measured how much* books I have to go. Today, I'm roughly 338 inches in the red. That means I added 360 inches of bookshelf and am still so in the red.

Made a very basic pizza. Results TBD.

Personalized recommendations are such a thing to have delivered to me

I may be a hard-g GIF guy, but I'm also a soft-g regex guy. I contain multitudes.

The Washington post Breaking News Post Exclusive 8 minutes ago Police use facial recognition as it was never intended: As a shortcut to finding and arresting suspects without further evidence Confident in unproven facial recognition technology, sometimes investigators skip steps, and at least eight Americans have been wrongfully arrested, a Washington Post investigation found.

I’m sorry, this might be a great investigation, but “as it was never intended” is obscene. This is precisely how many people specifically and repeatedly told us — warned us — it would be used.

The thick orange simple syrup is tasty but very inefficient to make. Will make again (after reading recipes and before I start cutting 4 lbs of oranges). 9/9

And this is why I won't be trying my hands at bagels tonight. 8/...
