Stash Tea is reasonably local to me. I drink their English Breakfast and the Cranberry Pomegranate.

I couldn’t really think of much to add, but I reworded it so the points aren’t so jumbled together.

In one of the games with my group we screwed up getting to a heist so badly that 2 of us ended up downed and the other 3 were facing prison. That’s when our bard decided to use Wish to try to jump us all to a timeline where our initial plan had worked. The DM let him do it and go back to playing the heist itself.

The DM also used it as an opportunity to reveal some lore, and as we transition to the new timeline we got to look in on some others where the BBEG was winning.

This was 2018ish and we still talk about it. Save scumming can be a lot of fun in the right context.

Banana cream pie.

The bakery we usually buy bread at has had banana cream tarts as one of their desserts of the month, and the sweets case has been a lot more tempting than usual the last several trips. I’m both relieved and bummed they’ll be gone tomorrow.

Project 2025 is a report from a far right think tank, the Heritage Foundation that MAGA aligned groups are all pushing into the news cycle.

There are plenty of centrist, progressive, and/or left wing (the 3 camps that make up democrats) think tanks but those are producing 3 fairly different paths/goals - compared to HF’s singular message of “lets make a white christian nationalist state.”

So it’s easier to for them to build a critical mass of polling (1 high profile UltraCon idea vs 3 different voices out of the Democratic party). The media ultimately magnifies apparent support because extremism drives ratings/clicks and they’re all dependent on popularity to make money (or keep what funding they have in the case of NPR/PBS).

Edited for clarity.

Now we know how to beat AI. We just have to pass the No LLM Left Behind act.

Wow, Dodge is worse than Telsa and almost down to Polestar.

I’ve been calling them McMansions on wheels, but considering how much tracking they do, I may start using your analogy.

Good to know. Thanks for the breakdown.

It’s known as the 27 club.

Our nearest Pizza Hut delivers via Doordash whether you order direct or through DD, but if you order direct its 30% cheaper. I’m not sure who’s eating the markup.

CBS laugh tracks are like nails on a blackboard to me now.

28 is a perfect number of years to shut down after.

I’ll see myself out.

I recognized the name AU10TIX, because I half-joked on Lemmy about a potential mass doxxing of Xitter’s most vile users back in September when they announced the partnership. I assumed they’d be a target for ransomware/hackers, not that they’d just leave their admin creds out in the open.

The most recent delays were due to scheduling not hardware issues, as the article admits despite its headline.

Same. Popping open an incision is somehow a relief compared to what I was picturing.

Lolcats. I even dabbled in lolcode for no good reason.

I took an Oxygen Not Included (pre Spaced Out) colony to 5000 cycles with almost no time warp. It was still going strong too, I just wanted to switch to the new (at the time) DLC.

Usenet’s is having a minor resurgence, we could be trendsetters.
