- Comment on Writing tip: just start brain dumping 1 week ago:
Because I’ve seen this sort of thing happen several times in various contexts, I’ve long said that you should never write something you don’t want to send. Not even as a joke that you plan to immediately delete. It’s amazing how your brain will unexpectedly hit “send” instead of “delete.”
- Comment on What do you create? 4 weeks ago:
I have a podcast that I create with a couple of friends. We take an ordinary object—such as a ceiling fan, or a paper clip, or a toilet brush—and we create a movie plot based on that object. The show is called Almost Plausible, and can be found wherever you listen to podcasts.

My grandmother used to give me Wheat Thins in these bowls. I miss her. I’m in my early 40s.

Considering those are Spanish plates, I’d say you’re right!

When Donald fingers the grill of the Citroën, I lost it.
- Comment on Damn spot! Now i want to buy the second car. 5 weeks ago:
The woman keeps saying “Bentley” and Donald keeps saying “Citroën.”
When he looks up at the car handle, I’m not entirely sure what he says. It’s sounds like it’s either “oh sheesh” or “oh shucks.”

If so, it’s propagating. I live in the NW USA and have been noticing it for years.
- Comment on What is your pet peeve in 2024? 1 month ago:
It drives me nuts that people frequently leave out the words “to be” when talking. For example, they will say something like, “the car needs washed.” No, either the car needs to be washed, or it needs washing.

I loved Gattaca, but the trailer is for a very different movie.
- Comment on If I was a secret immortal how long could I keep the same US ID for before I get taken away for study. I'm thinking 150 years. 2 months ago:
It’s been awhile since I’ve seen it, but IIRC, the film isn’t saying the Christian Jesus we all know about is immortal, but that this character in the film who is immortal (and a white dude, BTW) was assumed to be the son of God because people 2,000 years ago found out he was immortal and had no other explanation.

So it sounds like the Internet died in 2008.

I’ve always assumed this was faked, but based on this article, it really happened.

Indeed not, which is why I was momentarily puzzled. 😂

The Paddington films or the Herzog films?

- Comment on AskReddit 2 months ago:
IIRC from last time, someone on Reddit suggested digging a vertical hole (smaller visual footprint in an aerial search), covering the body with yogurt (to speed up decomp), and then burying a dead animal above the body (to throw off the cadaver dog’s handlers).
- Comment on I'm the developer of WalkScape, the RuneScape inspired fitness MMORPG where you progress by walking IRL. We're now accepting more people to the Closed Beta! 3 months ago:
I got in a week or so ago and immediately started walking a ton more than usual. It was also great timing because I’m in Paris at the moment, so I’m walking so much every day and leveling up like crazy as a result.
- Comment on The interior of your house is hot, the exterior cool. What would the most efficient orientation be for a box fan? Pushing hot air out of a window or pulling cool air in through it? 5 months ago:
I’m glad to see someone linked to this video. No one ever believes me when I tell them this is the way.

I love this book! More people should know about it. 😊

Less of this, please.

I mean, there certainly are a shit load of chickens around, but that’s a newer development.
Hua can also mean fruit, so it’s possible it means “chicken fruit.” I’m not sure that makes any more sense, though.

Here’s a video of a family tasting the banana and describing the flavor.
tl;dw: The flavor is similar to Cavendish. One person thought it was sweeter and had “more banana” flavor. One person didn’t feel that was the case. The texture was described as “thick and chewy,” and not as “fluffy” as the Cavendish. Overall they liked it.
- Comment on banaynay 7 months ago:
And bananas are berries!

The Gros Michel isn’t extinct, just hard to find.

“Hua moa” is Hawaiian for “chicken egg.”

It does, more or less. In true NileBlue fashion, things don’t go quite as initially planned.

The 800 number is missing a digit. Now how am I supposed to get my oyster?

Spot Shot can work wonders, but definitely read the instructions. It’s been awhile since I’ve had to use it, but I recall thinking its use is not intuitive (not complicated, just not what I would have assumed).
I also have a Little Green Machine from Bissell, which has been so fucking useful. I generally use that instead of Spot Shot, and on rare occasions, the two in tandem. Again, be sure to read the instructions and clean the machine out properly after every use so it doesn’t get gross.
