Those fucking cord tangles GOD DAMN IT!!!

Tantrum at 58: I need a nap.

Monty Python used to be my favorite comedy group. Now it’s the Cleveland Browns.

My dad’s doctor told him he needed to eat more protein, and he was like “ChickenLady, what can I eat to get more protein? High-protein Boost?” No dad, fucking meat … you can eat more meat. The thing is he loved meat, but it never occurred to him that he got protein from meat. And he was a biology professor!

My favorite thing was my mother at one point thinking she needed to eliminate her intake of fats, carbohydrates and protein because they’re all bad for you. Fortunately she does like kale …

They should ditch Microsoft 365 due to lack of not sucking balls.

Ah, I was thinking Portuguese-esque.

Microsoft’s business model has always been getting businesses who are even stupider than them to give them tons of money. Nothing is ever going to change that calculus.

How is this generally pronounced? I feel like “for-GAY-hoe” would be the only workable pronunciation.

Interestingly, the calorie counts on food packaging are derived from the Atwater system (and later modifications) that estimate digestible calories from the amount of fat, protein and carbohydrates in each food item. These numbers are based on experimental research on food substitution and weight loss/gain done in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The calorie counts for alcohol are similarly based on the measurable amount of alcohol in each drink, except that the number used (7 kcal per g) was just a complete guess on Atwater’s part since they couldn’t do equivalent substitution experiments involving booze.

It’s more like chicken garlic.

10 cloves garlic

Fuckin’ righteous

Horseshoe crabs have nine different types of eyes. Even that tail is essentially a kind of eye, covered with photoreceptors. Not sure of the relevance of this horseshoe crab fact, it’s just fucking interesting.

Squirrels have eyes on the sides of their heads and they’re pretty fucking good at climbing and jumping. Next theory …

I don’t know if this is the place for this, but god damn is the original Billy Joel song cringeworthy. “Making love to his tonic and gin”, something absolutely nobody ever says (it’s “gin and tonic”). “Talking to Davy who’s still in the navy” is another example of mangling shit to fit the rhyme scheme. And it’s all just a song about how awesome and better-than-this he, Billy Joel, is (“man, what are you doin’ here?”).

Would be the most lyrically embarrassing song of all time if not for “We Didn’t Start the Fire”.

Edit: I guess this is not the place for this lol.

When was the last time Switzerland actively made first strikes

I’m not sure, but I know halberds were involved.

They got rid of the exploding roads, though. Or so they say.

I remember when the original name for the invasion of Iraq was “Operation Iraqi Liberation” until somebody decided that was a little too obvious an acronym.

I was checking out the online reviews of my dad’s gastroenterologist the other day. The reviews all contained em-dashes although it was obvious just from the content that they were AI-generated. Dude is full of shit, ironically enough.

HOA’s don’t allow watching Friends? I thought HOAs were bad.

I randomly got a job recommendation from one of the sites that looked for exactly my programming skill set. I was interested until I saw what company it was – Palantir. GOD DAMN IT. On the plus side, most of these job listings are fake anyway, so it was probably just a phishing attempt of sorts based on my resume. At least the AI isn’t smart enough yet to know they should not mention Palantir with me.
