There was a British officer in WWI, serving in the trenches on the Western front, an Englishman, who shaved every single morning. His men once asked him why he bothered. He declared: "If I am going to meet my maker today, I'm going to meet him with a clean chin."

I can fetch both of you

Miller Lite is not real beer

Correct, I drink it to hydrate, therefore I am not a beer-o-holic

Everclear 190 is the cure

@JK47 not ready to die yet. @ilikebananafudge_ cats are prepped for the grilling in a bit.

Back when I drank in the evenings, my writing met a very high standard, because I overcompensated *a lot* for the booze. 100 proof worked way too fast. I drank 80 proof whisky and vodka, and up to 90 proof for rye (real rye—not Kentucky's 51% near-rye).

My cats jump like rabbits.

My dog just sent you a friend request

BBQ dog

I mean... technically if you're too powerful you're the one who stops the toilet.

YMO, round the bend and plumbing the depths again!

Are you Alf?

I mean I am hairy as Alf

Cooking cat? Now you have my Chinese interest. (No, we dont)

Yeah getting two is the plan, wonder how useful nfc is. Only have it on the phone, might even be less secure?

NFC is fine.

Yeah probably being paranoid

I'd say PS has the edge for JRPGs and the like. I honestly haven't been looking at consoles much the last few years but yeah, XBox was never the best platform for weeb stuff IIRC.

PA5 too big while I prefer the PS5 controller. Guess I need to fund a way to do portable PC.

Steam Deck? It's a bit pricey I think, but given what you get for it I feel like it could be great value in the long term. I play a FEW graphically intensive games that could benefit from a better GPU than what I currently have but also play a shit ton of weeb RPGs that could run at max settings on a potato, which is the main reason I feel like the Steam Deck could make sense.

Both videos were gay

I chose it because of an episode of Castle where Nathan Fillion keeps challenging Stana Katic to the game and she finally says "No! No more roshambo."

We have a good idea how Rochambeau's name was pronounced by Americans in 1781 because it was the American code for attack at Yorktown. The Continental infantry found it easy to remember, because it sounded to them like "Rush on, boys!"

I first learned of it from South Park... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHliDE1_Hls

@YMO You've hit on a general problem with Rich Lowry's editorship. NR used to be a conservative publication. During the Bush years, Lowry turned it into a Republican publication. That's something completely different. At least it's been strongly critical of Mr Trump in a pretty fair manner. I don't read the obviously biased articles (2/3ds–3/4s of the articles).

@Thad E Ginathom Because you mentioned the New Yorker's typesetting, I'm guessing you know that the typeface is Williams Caslon. For anyone who wants to understand why someone would design a new Caslon, https://ilovetypography.com/2010/07/26/reviving-caslon-the-snare-of-authenticity/. It has broad applications for typography. The typeface Times Ten identifies and corrects a different problem with digital type.

It's been forty years or more since I had any hands-on relationship with type.

I really do feel bad for that restaurant.

Beet juice works too.

I'm lost for words. No shit!

something something plunder dat booty

Yarrrrr queen

What husbando pillow did you come back with?

None, they only had waifu f**k pillows

My friend met a vegan at a party once and she was like “f**k plants! They need to die!”
