Not a gold top Les Paul Standard and a Marshall halfstack, but a fucking tuba. What did his record collection look like?

I don't think he has one. 

He played tuba in school, and now he plays with a community band.

I was watching After Midnight, and they had a magician doing a seance magic trick. He was pretending to summon a deceased celebrity. Several of the audience members wrote a name and put it in a box. The name chosen was Joe Biden. Politics aside, it completely ruined the vibe, aa obviously he's still alive. I was just as pissed as the magician.

Dude the only point to midlife crises is spending money you don’t have on stuff you don’t need.

Doesn’t apply to musical instruments:  you have to at least know how to play, even if it’s really badly.  Also, most people won’t know what a gold top is worth unless they watch Antiques Roadshow.

Golf is a fucking expensive hobby.  Maybe this is why I liked grappling so much.  Lack of necessary equipment.  Still the lesson today really fixed a big flaw in my game.  Now I just need to be consistent so I can play with family, friends, and clients.

The numbers from my fortune cookie didn’t win me the lottery.

I was told not to waste money on one out of good intentions, and that’s exactly why I did it. If I had listened and not spent the 4 dollars, the universe would have rigged it so the fortune cookie numbers were actually worth a shit. I just wanted to face the loss head on without giving the universe the satisfaction of saying “fuck you” to me.

One thing I like about my apartment is that I can walk to the grocery store, although their prices aren't the best. I did today and then I forgot the bag of apples at the self checkout. Five dollars wasted. 😭

If humanity survives all this, big fucking question mark, there's going to be a chapter on how not regulating internet misinformation from the start and re-establishing the Fairness Doctrine during the Clinton administration led to the bullshit we're dealing with now.  Vaccine denial, climate denial, assuming Trump gives a single rat fuck about an Arkansas dirt farmer's grocery bill...

You know why the New Deal worked before anything that didn’t help a billionaire buy a new mansion or a yacht was seen as communism?  Because it was building actual infrastructure.   Roads, bridges, plumbing, etc.  We could have had that with an infrastructure bill for a green future, but no.  The MTG’s hiss at anything that has the word Green in it, so we’re fucked.

On election night, I had chicken biryani, in hopes of America electing a Desi woman, Kamala. My Indian friend said her part of India, Tamil Nadu, is more known for sambar rice. I've had sambar rice before, but I just wasn't in the mood for it. The next day, my Indian friend jokingly said Kamala lost because I didn't eat the sambar rice. 😂😭

You know, typing this made me realize something that I appreciate so much about myself: I am a worldly person. I love the world.

https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-10-23/this-powder-can-remove-as-much-co2-from-the-air-as-a-tree

If the idea of these plants works out, three dozen of these at scale, with about 2000 tons of the dust each where old coal plants used to be, let's see...

.5 lbs of this stuff absorbs 48lbs of carbon which can be sold to corporations to put in sodas, beers, etc.  So one ton would hold nearly 53 tons of carbon out of the atmosphere.  We need to remove about 100,000,000,000 tons of CO2 from everything to even out.   Essentially we'd need at least half a dozen to a dozen of these in every state in what used to be coal plants to successfully hit the carbon removal goal if it can be produced at cost.  

OK, if they get this working, and it actually works out at a scalable rate...we might actually be alright.

In Neon Genesis Evangeleon, why are Rei and Shinji referred to as the "first children" and "third children," respectively, and not "first child" and "third child"?

Khara demanded a more literal dub after a very poor response to the original 3.1 dub.
