Kitchenware

hmm, I remember now that many of my forks are from them. IIRC they were good for the price, and having a lot of forks is better than having not enough forks; but I find their forks are not weighted all that great. they're nice forks, but the handle is way too heavy, so they always want to fall off of everything.

1-3 cups on any workday, 0-2 on any day off

I don't think I've been disappointed in one yet. my food scale works fine. bought a duplicate present of speakers for my nephew (his dad got them too) but apparently the non-amazon ones stopped working and the amazon ones are still working. coat hangers are ok. alen wrench set I have not actually found a use for yet. batteries are ok.

mmm, mechanically separated chicken...

for Smash Mouth what always annoyed me was that I already liked Fush Yu Mang a ton but then Astro Lounge came out and I thought it was only ok, but suddenly all you could hear was All-Star everywhere, all the way up to today. it's ok but not that great.

similar thing with Evanescence, where they were good, and Bring Me To Life was really good, but then it was massively overplayed on the radio and it kind of ruined it

~15% last year and ~10% this year. f'n sucks.

I own that but have never installed it. I was given a handful of PC adventure games from a friend and that was one of them but that was 20 years ago now.

yes I try to have one every summer

Pepsi is probably the best/my favorite flavor. I prefer coke in general, but it makes terrible slurpees. (some other flavors might be better still, like banana or mango or something, but usually I get Pepsi.)

(and then I wonder if maybe the machine had problems where I used to get them... and then I wonder if Pepsi employees might sabotage the Coke machine somehow... maybe it's 7-11 that has an agreement with Pepsi or something...)

small enough, nothing

are you still waiting for this? if you had waited in-hospital would you still be there waiting?

possible it's "imperial blue (metallic)"? it's a very dark blue that looks almost black, but has that same faint blue hue rather than being pitch black.

the color is called "midnight blue"

k yeah, makes sense. I suppose you could say that it's blue-black or black-blue. (quite often these kinds of discussions happen over intermediate colors like that.)

it's dark blue, or very dark blue. I have a black car and it's quite different than that. white and black vehicles are insanely common these days so it should be easy enough to find a comparison. just google "black car" and you see the difference immediately. an actually black car is more like the shade of coal or has an ashen quality, not sure how to say it.

comparing against the tires, which should be perfectly black, there's not a ton of difference, but there is some difference. and then you have a nearby blue car reflecting off it, as well as the sky... but if you compare it to an actually black car it sure seems different.

therapeutic shopping? that's an interesting but alien concept to me...

do you mean besides food? basically 100% of my shopping are functional items, food, and sometimes books.

do you drink coffee? you can get (possibly copyright infringing) customized coffee cups at places like redbubble. and other things like clothing. dragon quest as an example: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/?query=dragon%20quest

other than that, cosmetic/ornamental things are not something I'm usually looking for so not much to recommend.

for functional items, maybe a frying pan or a rice cooker?

less traffic was probably the best part

maybe it's too early but Blue (Da Ba Dee) is what I think of

also maybe Aqua - Barbie Girl but also a bit too early

they make the best clerics

Bretons are large circular crackers, usually whole wheat

with some kind of sliced deli sausage and cheese they're ok

why is it delivered by USPS if you ordered it from amazon? I wouldn't expect much better from Canada Post (who will inevitably refuse to leave it at your door and just tell you to pick it up from the post office and that they will destroy it if not claimed within ~2 weeks).

it depends on the implementation

I know he's a classic character but I don't really enjoy Yosemite Sam that much. The frog is way more interesting even if there's only so far you can take the concept.

is the pipe stuff off to the right the equipment that is running it/filtering it?

another question I have is does it rain there? does your backyard not turn into a muddy nightmare with no grass?

I just order my games by last used, so the more interested in a game I am the higher it is, and a game I never play gets further and further away. I can browse down the list for games I forgot about and if I play it for a moment it goes back to the top.

(but uh... being old sucks... some games I remember playing not long ago I actually last played 10+ years ago...)

I get same-day or next-day free shipping, which is amazing. I actually feel a bit guilty how easy and inexpensive it is to have people deliver anything I want right to my door so quickly. (I'm right now eating Big Turk candies that I ordered after reading the thread about it less than 24 hours ago.)

Played a fair bit:

• Slay the Spire
• FTL

Played a tiny bit:

• Dont Starve
• Crypt of the Necrodancer

Want to play:

• Into the Breach
• Hades

Others you didn't mention:

• Death Road to Canada

Yes I know some of them are roguelites, but I don't like being pedantic and most of the community just calls them roguelikes for convenience sake.

I agree with this

I would say that in your examples you are merging the concepts, which is valid, but not the same as unifying the categories. if I say "gravy", generally that will not include spaghetti sauce, and vice-versa. if I make something that has properties of both, you can say it's technically both, but the categories themselves don't merge. you can't really define one of these in terms of the other ("a spaghetti sauce is a gravy that... or a gravy is a spaghetti sauce that..."). they are both sauces. and you could have a sauce that has both qualities. but one category does not come from the other, they are sibling categories descended from a more general concept.

(not finding many sources for meatless gravy. a gravy without meat is really just something emulating gravy. generally "real" gravy involves meat juices; no-meat gravies are exceptions.)

hence, spaghetti sauce is also gravy

spaghetti sauce is not an exceptional case of gravy

exceptions don't define the concept, they are exceptions to the concept

rocket league

how deep is it? it doesn't look very deep but probably just hard to determine scale in the image.

pedantry time: you're moving laterally across a conceptual hierarchy. cats are not dogs, they are both mammal pets. apples are not oranges, they are both round fruits. spaghetti sauce is not gravy, they are both sauces.

at best you could maybe combine them, since they are not mutually exclusive. "spaghetti sauce" surprisingly means "sauce intended to be put on spaghetti" and "gravy" means something like "thickened sauce with meat flavor/based on meat juice". those have no overlap besides 'sauce' but have no contradiction either, so "thickened sauce based on meat juice intended to be put on spaghetti" is a valid concept. but neither "spaghetti sauce" nor "gravy" captures that idea.

that doesn't even kind of fit? they are both sauces is probably what you mean.

moving away from Bliz naming, and/or, moving toward more car theming, I guess

never tried canned, can't imagine it'd be good. I've had it cooked plain and it's not bad, but it's definitely better uncooked or mixed into some kind of dish.

many many times, I have save files going back to 2009 (but been playing it since release)

what's the search terms you're searching for? I would guess the name is somehow associated with the stuff you're finding in some kind of indirect way, but I'd be interested to see if I/others get the same thing.

IDK about that, so today's houses are priced like they were in 2010 or so when gold last peaked?

not sure what you're asking. the price of an average home relative to the price of gold in 2024 is roughly the same as the price of an average home relative to the price of gold in 1924. (tons of wiggle room, but roughly the same.) wages on the other hand are way behind.

most Skyrim master spells take too long to cast to be useful (3 seconds to charge, you have to stand still, and if you're staggered it's interrupted)

was just reading how housing prices are the same over the last 100 years relative to gold. but wages are way behind relative to either. (can't recall the exact number so I shouldn't guess the proportion without confirming it but can't find the post).

will it be/was it microsurgery? the one time I had surgery, it could have been microsurgery but wasn't, so big 10cm incision, etc.

anyway, hope you get through it ok

something planned or unplanned?

I mean an intel brand motherboard

my now ancient PC currently has this: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/55744/intel-desktop-board-dz68db/specifications.html

(nothing amazing, main thing was that it supported RAID 10 (and was affordable))

for me always intel and I try to get intel motherboards too

yeah was gonna say, that's basically an adventure game, Monkey Island, etc.

I like SMW but I always thought it was a bit too easy. last time I played it I *96d it in one sitting.

SM:AS is four great games with a ton of both quality and challenge.
