He has a reputation of just being an unpleasant dick and difficult to work with. Nothing super problematic to my knowledge, just a bad personality.

The addition of ‘fuckers’ in there makes me suspect Jeff Vandermeer, but I wouldn’t be able to say what book other than maybe part of the Southern Reach series.

It’s still around and it’s so much worse now. Just NIMBY central. I peek in from time to time to try to scope out estate sales, but I always have to leave pretty soon because the shit people say there is wild.

Every time I reread this sentence I crack up again. What gets you a permanent ban??

That’s what I’ve got in my cooking notes dump for the internal ‘cooked’ temperature for cookies, but that might be a texture rather than a safety thing.
- Comment on Hot enough for ya? 1 week ago:
In that case I think the real issue would be how long it’s safe to store at room temperature, since edible cookie doughs do still require refrigeration as far as I know. If you popped an edible cookie dough in for 30 minutes you’d probably be fine, the more hours you tack on the sketchier it gets.
- Comment on Hot enough for ya? 1 week ago:
Reminder that cookie dough kept above 40 F/4.4 C but below 190 F/88 C is in the bacterial danger zone that allows bad bacteria to multiply and give you food poisoning.
There’s also some amount of risk from raw dough, but I’m not gonna pretend I don’t ignore that when it comes to cookie dough.
- Comment on A story in one photo 1 week ago:
The white area at the very bottom of the photo is the windowsill I think, it’s taken from inside looking out at the bird strike.
- Comment on A story in one photo 1 week ago:
Jesus, it must have been a severe hit if the bird shit itself. This being on the side of a building and not a window is really curious, though! Usually you only see this on reflective surfaces that the bird thinks is open sky. I wonder if a predator was chasing it, for it to collide so strongly with the wall.

The spider corpse is an important piece of the art! It adds a memento mori aspect to what is otherwise just a cool place a web was spun.

I’ve replaced my ice cream with fruit popsicles (the kind with blended up fruit bits, not just a bit of juice), I figure even if it’s just as bad for me it’s at least got marginally more fiber.

- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
It’s definitely an understandable way to feel after a bad accident. It’s really fortunate nobody was hurt! You’re a young and inexperienced driver, there’s a reason as a group y’all cost more to insure, lol. So it’s definitely something that’s common, and plenty more people (like me) have only avoided similar accidents through dumb luck.
Is giving up a car completely something that’s feasible for your location and lifestyle? Will you be able to get to work, meet with friends, and engage with your hobbies while relying on public transit, a bike, etc? If you can answer yes to all those questions, then giving up driving regularly might be feasible for you. If you can’t, then unfortunately you will have to either drive or rely on other people to drive you.
If it’s not practical to give up driving, I would really encourage you to take a defensive driving class. It will help you internalize the things you can be doing to avoid accidents before they happen. And if you do give up driving, keep your license renewed! It’s a total pain in the ass to get a license a second time, and there are times it’s practical to have one.

If you mean this about any Christmas, seasonal, 4th of July, Halloween, Easter, etc events… sure. But taking out just the Pride event is targeted.

- Comment on I've hated donald trump since day one but then I saw this and thought.... 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, you’re not saying it. You just think no Mexican Americans, etc should show up with Mexican flags. Oh, also more American flags. What else to make the protest perfect so that no rightoid can say anything bad about it? Better get it all out here so the people can do everything perfectly to your standards.
Talk is cheap.
- Comment on I've hated donald trump since day one but then I saw this and thought.... 3 weeks ago:
Fascinating you could determine from the picture that all of the thousands of people who showed up only care about deportations.
Thankfully the people of LA are too stupid to fall for this bullshit. We see our neighbors with Mexican flags every day, it doesn’t make them belong here any less.
- Comment on I've hated donald trump since day one but then I saw this and thought.... 3 weeks ago:
I don't see why someone waving the Mexican flag, would be fighting for American democracy...
Do you actually need me to lead you around by the nose and explain to you that American citizens can hold a Mexican flag in protest?
- Comment on I've hated donald trump since day one but then I saw this and thought.... 3 weeks ago:
How is protesting for their family and neighbors (weird you left that one out, you don’t have to be related to someone kidnapped to protest) from having their rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution not protecting democracy?
Also, touching a Mexican flag doesn’t actually revoke your citizenship or residency, regardless of what Fox News says.
- Comment on I've hated donald trump since day one but then I saw this and thought.... 3 weeks ago:
What’s brain dead is thinking people only have a right to free speech if it fits what you think their optics should be.
Anyone who wouldn’t support the burning of an American flag is an enemy of the US Constitution.

If you weren’t there, what you mean is you haven’t been shown any American flags in the protests.

Anyone who thinks there needs to be more American flags at the protests is welcome to bring them along with themselves. But sitting here criticizing the people actually off their ass and trying to protect democracy and their neighbors is bullshit.
Further, the right is literally never going to see resistance to Trump positively. Anyone who has been on the Fox News drip for the past 20 years is so unhinged that living in California is a crime to them. Asking people whose neighbors and family members have been kidnapped by the federal government to hide their heritage in their protests because it might offend people that already hate them and want them gone is ridiculous. At least if you want to keep those people as allies.
