Had to drag this old keyboard out for a work laptop with no working keyboard, and, this enter key decision is just appalling. Why did they do this to me. Do you know how many characters I need to escape? Do you know how many half-formed commands the terminal has rejected?

I snapped my nail clipper, something that wasn't really on my board of "things that can happen to a nail clipper". Like, imagine your screwdriver snapping when you pick it up.

Dad and I used to do a 5:2 ratio, I tried the apparently more traditional 2:1 here but jury is out on if it's improved because I got way too much ice melt in there, and it thinned out overmuch. Room for improvement! Room for practice.

I scanned this chyron quickly and thought it read "where" instead of "were" and it's kind of fun in how founder the verb means "to fail" in the sense of a ship founders (floods and sinks) or a horse founders (stumbles and falls) etymology is from Latin fundus, "bottom" as in, "send to the bottom"
Fox News chyron reads "RUBIO: US FOUNDERS WERE FASCINATED BY GREECE"

The yogurt I used this time was nominally Indian yogurt, and much thinner than the previous Greek yogurt. Citrus continues to punch above its weight in this recipe.

If you are making pretzel caramel brownies for the function I need to stress you gotta grease that pan like a motherfucker or have, like, an ice pick ready to go, you would not believe the difficulty multiplier of angling around the pyrex and still cutting through caramel and peanut armor

My little dog loves to lie on the stairs to guard me from e.g. FedEx guys, but she also wants to dig up the carpet at that particular spot. I have installed a little bed there, and we are now at an uneasy truce.

My silly little blue teacup of espresso. There's a little ice cream visible through the foam. I promise there's actually a bunch there, it's just that there's definitely a lot of coffee foam.

It is funny to me to imagine some old timey Greek drinking their watered¹ wine and not being really into it but really wanting to see if the bottom of the cup has a picture of a lion in a hat, or a dude with a boner, or some other comic or erotic scene.
A Greek kylix (two-handled drinking cup) with the image of a dude stomping grapes in the middleSTEMMED DRINKING CUP (KYLIX) WITH MAN PRESSING GRAPES
clay, red figure
Early 5th century BC

A naked youth crushes grapes in a large jar (pithios). Painted in red letters along the figure's side is the inscription [here transliterated] "KALOS" (he is beautiful)

The kylix was one of the most popular drinking vessels in ancient Greece. Like the amphora it was an important part of the Greek symposium. The images represented in its center would be covered with wine, to be revealed slowly, as the wine was drink. Images of humorous or erotic scenes were meant to abuse the drinker.
