You may recognize me from such places as #NOLAtwitter. You may address me as Sir El Spotto, as befits my status as a Knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Sealand (OMS), or you can just call me El Spotto. It ain’t that big a deal.

The thing I really like about The Line is getting to watch two lines of chefs who are all great on their own merits working a kitchen as a team. That is completely lost is every other cooking comp.

Ok fine. It wasn’t a 4 point loss, but the defending champs losing 0-1 is pretty humorous to me. Should have come to the Hampton Roads area, Whale. Not too late.

“I am going to use iFixit’s image and much more detailed article and just throw in a couple “as Ifixit found” and turn this in so I get paid. Thingnis, it’s really cool tech trickery. I haven’t been able to see the aperture with the screen on or off.

All honorable warriors prefer peace. But more important, is that a butterfly or half a fruit on the stick? Either would be a happy thing, but I’m a bit peckish so I’m hoping for fruit.

Know who has been waiting this a long time? Only 9 to 5. There was a not very good leak several years ago mentioning an as yet unreleased product in a dev build of iOS. They turned it into their new must have product.

Let’s silver lining: When it finally does happen we will all know even when they attempt to hide it. How? He has been flooding ai with all those stupid unrealistic images of himself that any attempt to use a generated replacement will be immediately obvious. Like more than Max Headroom obvious.

Yes, I do. Three people I did not vote for who I doubt represent my or my neighborhood’s interests in Raleigh.

I like this one. It feels a bit Dali and a bit Duchamp but not exactly either. Maybe it’s the crow skull eating a dried seed pod? Dunno but I like it.

@yopauliefl.bsky.social He tempts fate sir. My coworker just texted me a picture of his wife with Eric Tulsky showing off his ring. I believe your team may have had the game tipped in its favor with that move. He clearly has never played the most superstitious sport to ever exist.

My bike helmet has been recalled. Not because the helmet itself is unsafe but because it has a blink light on the back powered by a cell battery that doesn’t have a Do Not Eat Batteries warning on it. I will not be following the recall: I have changed the battery since I bought it.

Well I am quite glad I jumped ship. Lena never works out well for staff. Especially higher paid front line staff like in store techs certified on all hardware and software. That will all be outsourced to the “depot” we sent some things to in my time. Just like Starbucks did in 2009.

The entire universe is a construct from a thought I had half a second ago. All of it, in essence, is ai. No, I don’t believe that, but it’s the opposite side of the we are all star stuff and have been here since the beginning line of thinking and therefore worth exploring as a rebuttal.

Hopewell Mounds. And this stunning feat of civil engineering.
A screenshot of maps. How do I describe this? I don’t know. Make a three leaf clover with one line. Then have another line curve through the lower two lobes of what you drew. Then…make inroads with houses.

Blocking someone for complimenting your pets and mentioning that they enjoy coffee (at any time much less in a cool morning) is just wrong.

To be clear: 1) they don’t have one 2) this weeks policy movie, er meeting, was Sum of All Fears. 3) he’s going to do this and congress will do nothing to stop him. 4) the midterms won’t save us. He will do this in order to not have midterms. 5) please let me be wrong about 3&4.

Ok. This is the point on flu shot day where what I want to do is channel my inner kindergartener and take a nap. I rarely feel like it kicked my butt, but I always want to take a nap. Prefer fridays but the employee clinic was today. So…graham crackers and milk, please.

So I got some kind of Japanese pumpkin squash thing. Gonna roast it but I’m conflicted because “pumpkin” calls for warm spices and “Japanese” uses almost exactly nine of those spices very much. I’m sure togarashi and yuzu ponzu would be tasty as well. I’ll need to flip a couple hundred coins here.

So I stopped at Ollie’s on the way back from the park because I was curious about this $30 solar “power station” they have listed. Says the power station is “100W” which is kinda not useful but sounds good. Says it has a “30W solar panel” which is slightly more useful but not enough to say yes.

So let me see if I got this straight. You were on a missionary trip to Vietnam. On day 2 you got food poisoning and spent 6 of your 10 days in hospital. And now you’re planning your next. That sounds very much like you should listen when the almighty speaks to you instead of planning a next time.

Calls itself the southernmost town in the US. Not too far north from South point where you can stand and smell air whose last landfall was Antarctica.
