Hey @greyofpta.bsky.social I just fixed (I hope) a shoe using Shoe Goo - which always makes me think of you, since you told me how great it is at fixing shoes.

It’s not something I eat too often, but it’s available to buy. I am looking. Turkey is more common; usually when they do chicken like this for some reason they bread it, but this one is not breaded, and turkey is not typically breaded.

Meanwhile I have made a stupidly epic chicken burger with sautéed cherry tomatoes I grew, provolone, bang bang sauce, and red pepper sauce on a pretzel roll.

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

chat is this good

A customer just tried to use an employee discount code that ChatGPT gave her. I work at a high-end clothing store and clocked in to my manager telling me about the most unhinged interaction from yesterday. A woman walked in asking if she could use a 40% off code she got online. We don't have any sales running, so my manager looks at the screen and realizes ChatGPT straight up handed this woman a real employee's internal ID number.

MiraLAX /benefiber is tasteless when it dissolves, but I think the difference is soluble fiber vs insoluble fiber so ymmv.

Try to be a kind person in the world. After that, be a rumpled library detective who never gives up on a case, or a forgetful wizard who lives in a forgotten tower in the forest, or something cool like that.

#Skinktober day 4: Yellow bellied, three toed skink. Saiphos equalis. Cool fact, they can give birth to live young or lay eggs! Generally, coastal populations lay eggs and mountain populations give live birth. One of the most brilliant adaptations on lizards, who usually lay eggs.

I routinely see kids products that come in the 2 options "Dinosaur" or "Unicorn"- which apart from the obvious, annoys me because one gets science and one gets mythology. This could easily be fixed by swapping dinosaurs with dragons, or, hear me out, aggressively marketing Cambrian sea life to girls

I love fall so much. I've lived in Vermont my whole life and foliage season still seems like such a completely bonkers and beautiful thing to happen every year. It never gets old. 🍂
Photo of a pile of leaves on vibrant dark green moss. I collected lots of fallen leaves of different colors from different plants and trees and arranged them in an egg-shaped gradient going from green at the top to yellow and then orange and then red to darkest reds at the bottom.

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes
A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"
