POGtastic @pogtastic.bsky.social · 23hbought Tin Cup Rye ($25) for the purposes of making into Manhattans and, frankly, this is not good at all. I usually get ~$50 bottles and thought myself a non-discerning consumer of spirits and, well, this stuff is proving me wrong. 230

POGtastic @pogtastic.bsky.social · 28/09/2026After a very quiet summer, tensions between the dogs and skunks erupted this morning in suburban Oregon. Local sources claim one canine casualty, who is receiving treatment. A spokesskunk refused to comment at this time. You're listening to NPR. 250
POGtastic @pogtastic.bsky.social · 24/09/2026The tester frowned. "You got 35% right." Julie blanched. "So that means I failed?" She had impostor syndrome even on the best of days. "That's the highest score we've ever seen. I- I- I need to call my supervisor. I don't remember if p needs to be less than 0.05 or 0.01. It's never come up before" 040

POGtastic @pogtastic.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Wife has offered the kiddo $1 per 100 pages read from library books. The child has spent the last 3 hours reading with no breaks. This is what desperation and precarity do to our children in late stage capitalist amerikkka 350
POGtastic @pogtastic.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Kiddo's back tire on her bike was flat, so I bought a new tube. Also figured out that the wheel was poorly aligned in the slot (common with single-speed bikes where you have to position the rear wheel to put tension on the chain). She's now going way faster and loves hills. I regret everything 010
POGtastic @pogtastic.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Can I marvel about libraries some more? I just came across a newly published book on here. I went to my county's library system and placed a hold on the book (which the system currently has on order). In a couple weeks the book will be delivered to my local library and reserved specifically for me 120
POGtastic @pogtastic.bsky.social · 15/09/2026doctor says I need an iron infusion because I'm still not absorbing iron well enough. I am curious how many times people going to the clinic say "inject this shit directly into my veins" very likely that because I, a spectacularly unoriginal person, have thought of this, many other people also have 010

The no-kill shelter wanted $600 for a pit mix puppy who had all kinds of things messed up with her I am not picky in the slightest (as to be shown by the dog when we pick him up) but that's a racket 1192
POGtastic @pogtastic.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I am Back On My Bullshit in a second, even more annoying way than reseasoning my cast iron. This is the Zymurgy Thread, this time gluten-free. Will it be good? Will it be sheep urine? Stay tuned to find out! 220
POGtastic @pogtastic.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I am stripping and reseasoning all of the cast iron pans and have discovered that my wife needs to rewatch WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT (1988). She didn't laugh at me saying "This is how we handle things down in Toon Town" as I put on heavy rubber gloves and goggles and prepared The Dip 160

POGtastic @pogtastic.bsky.social · 24/08/2026My inlaws have revealed another TV show to my daughter - "Grizzly and the Lemmings." As always, a six-year-old simply has no natural defenses to even the poorest slapstick comedy we will not be allowing it in our house 000
POGtastic @pogtastic.bsky.social · 22/08/2026At my inlaws' house. Due to my new celiac diagnosis my mother-in-law is pawning off a large collection of mead bottles from some Poway farmer's market subscription package that she stupidly signed up for. I am going to die 260
POGtastic @pogtastic.bsky.social · 17/08/2026The difference here is so straightforward. When somebody does something dumb on a bike, my reaction is "you're going to get yourself killed." When somebody does something dumb in a car, my reaction is "you're going to kill somebody." Everybody is dumb, but drivers are dumb with heavy machinery! 020

POGtastic @pogtastic.bsky.social · 08/08/2026I put up a bathroom light fixture and tightened every toilet trap chain in the house, and my wife is squeezing my biceps and telling me that I'm so handy 010
POGtastic @pogtastic.bsky.social · 03/08/2026This is actually one thing that I did shell the heck out for in my house. We actually spend a TON of time at the dinner table, and I'm going to keep it for the rest of my life. It's the only piece of furniture that I actually care about in my house! 100

POGtastic @pogtastic.bsky.social · 30/07/2026apropos of some stuff surrounding Catcher in the Rye, I am taking this opportunity to read a book that I utterly despised in high school and to see if reading it in my mid-30s is different from reading it at age 17 Mrs. Courchesne, I am giving Mrs. Dalloway another try 2102
POGtastic @pogtastic.bsky.social · 30/07/2026unfortunately all of the people who can do this compellingly are explaining arbitrary code execution techniques for N64 games 020

His favorite things are sleeping, tummy rubs, and barking at the cows in the next field over 110

POGtastic @pogtastic.bsky.social · 23/07/2026with the GLP-1 discourse going on I'd like to say that I've been working very hard. In the last year, I have been climbing 6+ days a week and have gotten a couple of (soft) V5 climbs. I've gotten my 5k time down from "cannot run a 5k" to 26:45. My resting HR is now 51. I have lost exactly 0 pounds 120
