I enjoy the Art Deco look. Sleek yet confident.

"We dropped all our bombs! PEACE!"

Wish I could appreciate the irony, because there's nothing else going for the situation.

In the books, you couldn’t mistake Murderbot for a human.

In the books, Murderbot repeatedly remarks that it can easily pass for human among humans, but other constructs would spot it immediately.

I love the books. Murderbot is my competence porn. It's all about smart people getting out of bad situations by doing smart things.

the next administration to reside in office

Unless the US' current trajectory changes sharply, I don't think there are going to be any more elections.

And what exactly would we do to help? Invade? Arrest your leaders? Station peacekeepers inside your borders?

Probably a bit like Dr Frankenstein, watching his monster lurch down the hill towards the village.

If a bidet user was also an Arch user, which would they tell you about first?

I didn’t realize “banal” was pronounced “ban all”

I was today years old...

For years I drove past a sign for Eastport on my way in to the city centre. No-one every mentions Eastport on the news. I decided it must be the single most boring suburb in the city.

Last year I realised the sign actually reads like this:

East

Port

And things finally clicked.

I don't like to see science presented as a belief system. Science is a tool for establishing fact about the natural world in a methodical and reproducible way. For debating the existence of gods, you need philosophy.

What are you going to do to prove it? Take a blood test?

And tardigrades, just to give you the warm fuzzies.

Also:

The easiest way to remove hairs from bathroom surfaces is with a slightly damp paper towel or microfibre cloth.

When cleaning surfaces:

1. Wipe down once with a damp sponge/cloth. This removes loose dirt and softens the hardened stuff.
2. Spray with a surfactant.
3. Wait five minutes to give it time to work.
4. Wipe again to remove remaining dirt.

If there's something you can't get off, use a harsher cleaner like Barkeeper's Friend. Wear gloves when using that. I can't unlock my phone with my thumbprint anymore.

Not a fan of it.

Are you sure that America aren't America's enemies?

That appears to be an actual paramilitary force.

It's not just me, right? Other people can see it too?

Why are American men so concerned about their masculinity? From the outside it doesn't look like they have anything to worry about.

They kinda suck for driving though, because they don't turn dark inside a car.
