In highschool I had a friend who thought he was effective at using violence because he was good at videogames. It was hilarious watching him learn he was wrong.

Praise You by Fatboy Slim. I hate that song so much I have to turn it off whenever I happen to come across it. It's the drawn-out repetitive tones.

The mayor's job is to co-ordinate public information and make press releases during an emergency. He's an authoritative source. Better for people to get info from him than from rumours and hearsay.

Linux. Seems like Windows comes with a lot of baggage these days.

Our current mayor complained bitterly because voters expected him to be at his office during a flooding emergency that affected swathes of the city, even though he had a tennis match scheduled. Pretty sure he's not getting a second term.

Electrical conductivity. It's gotta be high, but not too high.

I agree with the reporter - he needs to port Doom to that mofo.

The process of choosing government officials at random is called sortition. It's certainly not the worst method.

It starts out feeling like you're driving a two-tonne weapon in a world full of drunk people driving two-tonne weapons. You're nervous and hypervigilant.

After a while your driving instincts develop and becomes less of a problem. And on days when the sun is shining and your favourite song is playing, it begins to seem like driving isn't so bad after all.

😆 The grand master's dialogue is perfect!

 

I'm sharing this because any reduction in unnecessary packaging waste is good for the planet - and because I think laser-etching avocados is funny. 🙂

 

I followed a Jaime Oliver recipe for curry, which started with grating onion, ginger and garlic. I liked the curry, but grating an onion is a miserable job. He said that technique unlocked the onion's 'sweetness'. How much difference do you think I'd notice if I used a food processor?

I noticed that one of the monitors in the loom control room had "SKIN?" written on it in the dust that covered it. It seemed pretty mysterious and I was sure it was a detail that was going to be important, but it never came up as far as I noticed. Any theories as to what it's about?

 

I've been on a cosmic horror kick lately, and what I'd really like to read is stories or novels of the awful and unfathomable on a spaceship. Stories where we go to them, poke what shouldn't be poked, scan what shouldn't be scanned, and things proceed from there.
