We put raw, finely ground beef puree on sandwiches. Usually with salt and pepper, and raw onions or hard boiled egg to taste.

We call it filet americain.


Sounds solid Woran. I think we just call those a burger. Also no cheese?

We cook burgers, her thing is raw. I would call it a form of steak tartare.


True. It's like a cold cut sandwich I suppose.


I think it's more of a cold grind.

Cluster shot is where it is really at.


I'm not going to say Star Wars Squadrons is unplayable, but it's definitely unplayable.

Only if you can make multiple attacks.

Without a HOTAS setup it is a VERY real challenge to play.

Aaaaand... here we go again: Social media rendering "competitions" meaningless.

Today's candidate? A plea from a parent on an 1800-person Slack channel to go to their kid's high school's web site to vote for their kid's science project.

I know I went over this before, but I despise any "contest" that calls for a public vote on which project is "best", because it turns into nothing more than, "Whose parent can spam the most people who will unthinkingly vote for a project they've never even seen?"

It becomes less gross when you realize these are also the people that eat Lutefisk and drink Milwaukee's Best.

British people come here and say "Well, ate least we don't eat THAT!".

So if I use Hostas then I'll be able to play

I wish I knew that BEFORE the ground froze.

I'm not sure Jung's carries hostas this time of the year.

What surprises me is that anyone ever took this idea seriously.

A 100-megaton warhead is dangerous out to say, 80 km. In open air. For rock, you're talking tens of meters.

The diameter of the moon is just under 3500 km.

Without even watching the video, my answer is, "Not a heck of a lot; the scales in question are orders of magnitude apart."

And now I'll watch the video anyway, 'cause kids videos about nuclear destruction...

EDIT: While it was a reasonable analysis, I'm really skeptical of the claim that people on the far side of the moon would feel a 7.0 quake. Even if 100% of the energy went into the ground, the localized quake would be an 8.3 or so. Let's be generous and say it's 8.3 100 km away from the blast. Simple inverse square law says you have (35)^2 less energy even in a perfect conductor, or around 2 points on the Richter scale, so back-of-the-envelope says that 7.0's way too high.

Spreading? I've always loved math.


I make sure to always carry a ukelele with me. That way I'm prepared for someone to ask "Do you play an instrument?", and I can whip it out and say "Well, I play a little guitar."

My wife came back from the grocery store complaining about how the lady at the register was "Such a b*!@&". I asked "Were you using the self-checkout?", and now I'm sleeping on the couch tonight.

Hey Freehold, have you heard about the Great American Rail-Trail?

It's an effort to convert abandoned railway lines into a continuous bike trail from Washington D.C. to the Pacific coast of Washington state.

Important things to remember:
If you bite it and you die, it's poisonous.
If it bites you and you die, it's venomous.
If it bites you and it dies, you're poisonous.
If it bites itself and you die, it's voodoo.
If you bite each other and neither of you die, it's kinky.

I told my GM that if my character dies, I want to make a Catfolk Werewolf. That way, every full moon I'll chase myself up a tree.


I have a headache and no session today evening, which the GM canceled earlier (though I read the note only now).

My children decided that they were tired of school lunch. It took them the span of me getting a video pulled up to stream to go from "tired of school lunch" to "we found a cheap microwave on Amazon and have crowdsourced half the cost of it to pay back Ringleader, it'll be here next week."

Microwave arrived today, and they're reenacting the opening to 2001: A Space Odyssey as one of the kids sets it up, all chanting "MIC-RO-WAVE. MIC-RO-WAVE."

...they have named the microwave Jeff.

And now we eagerly anticipate the first report of the school having to be evacuated because someone burns popcorn in it...

Oh, I am far from the first teacher to have a microwave. They had one in the commons for kids to use during lunch, but Covid, so they're stuck in my room now.


ALL HAIL MICROWAVE


I started playing Vikings - Wolves Of Midgard...

A Diablo-like action rpg where you start as a vviking warrior or shield-maiden defending your village.

It felt promising if little boring with killing hordes and hordes of goblin tomtes (not atypical for a Diablo clones) until I reached a first boss. Ok, at start I missed a key factor - while the white circles on the ground spawned by the boss are bad, inflicting damage and freezing you for a few precious seconds, the reddish circles are actually beneficial and necessary to keep you alive as they reduce the level of exposure (which kills you faster than the boss or its adds). After learning that fact I tried again. And again. And again.

Am I getting worse at playing games as I get older? Maybe, but apparently more people complained about fighting this boss.

Meh.

Have you ever WANTED to find a new conspiracy to believe in, but you can't manage the energy to really invest in one? That's how I feel today.

My mom was an investigative reporter, so I grew up on conspiracy theories.

What kind of conspiracy theory you going for?


I started playing X-Morph Defense... A nice tower-defense/aircraft shooter hybrid.

And then I run into an annoying error in the third mission and my mood and impression somewhat soured, when the game prevents me from building more towers falsesly claiming that it would block the last path for the punny Earthlings defending their miserable planet attackers.

CY - nothing that takes a lot of effort. I got behind the 8-ball at work last Friday, covering for some folks. I only just dug myself out today. I'm fried mentally and just want some nice, easy crazy to sink into.

And then they took that access from Solarwinds, and used it to get into various companies' MFA servers to allow certain accounts to bypass 2FA completely, and did it in such a way that the 2FA servers didn't even show the login attempts or leave much of a trail in logs.

These guys capitalized on a mix of human stupidity and actual genius skills.

EDIT Clarification: I'm referring to the hackers who were actively using the Solarwinds vulnerability, not the security researchers.

How about "NASA is going to assassinate the leader of [insert random country] by triggering a targeted earthquake from space."

No, I didn't think of that one myself. Mine aren't nearly that coherent.

this one hits too close to home. Had someone in my caseload who was obsessed with the international space station and thought they were controlling the world from there.

I first heard that one in Conspiracy Theory with Mel Gibson. 96ish? EDIT: Google says Aug 97

Further edit: And sorry. Meant to say that the first time, and just now realized I didn't. Been a pretty bad day.
