I love soup but I hate serving it. It's so hard to get a fair amount of solids.

@sabbatical yeah. Lets say you're treated well enough you won't need to pay for therapy for yourself at least

Bonus question: ask your spouse the same thing and also if they'd be okay if you did it

Would you allow yourself to get abducted for 30 days for $1 million?

Why are so many of our long weekends here done with a day off on Monday? Why not Friday?

Glengis and I, we're going places. Happy Turkey-dressed-as-Columbus Day.

Gotta love people seeing multiple cards in a row and thinking it means I didn’t shuffle so therefore they get to shuffle for themselves now right in the middle of a game

@sabbatical Haha I haven't payed attention long enough after to see if they come back!

My new favourite way to kill a housefly: catch it out of mid-air and chuck it at a hard surface

Niche Dutch thing of the day thanks to @ohryan

Kinda brilliant, yet kinda stupid in how easy to defeat it—too late to make a difference either way.

People going around acting like banning the use of personal electronics in the classroom prevents students from using them in an emergency make no sense to me.

@sabbatical I pop in to the church that houses one of work's schools when there's a student organist practicing to get my fix

if there were a service that alerted me when (and only when) this kind of organ-based musical event was going to be happening near me, i'd pay for that

@sabbatical I should clarify that the prank calls I've been hearing recordings of are something along the lines of getting a radio dj to do the prank call live (presumably) on the air and of topics that are quite emberrassing to boot

i've been redirecting x.com to my notion dashboard with this lil browser extension: einaregilsson.com/redirector/

it's been more effective than any of the apps (focus, opal, etc) i've tried on my mac to break my twitter habit!

@sabbatical I understand that struggle! My dad's a leftie and I'm pretty sure he still buys the same pens he settled on over 20 years ago

To the 11 people who wished me a happy birthday by commenting on my mum's Facebag post, a type of greeting that only is getting to me because I wanted to write this, I thank you heartily, but I can't help but feel like you wished me a happy birthday more for the sake of your relationship with my mother than your relationship with myself. Of course, you'll never see this and I'm thanking you more for the sake of my relationship with people other than yourself. Turnabout is fair play.

I've been overhearing a lot of prank call recordings because apparently those are a thing.

Let it be known that if someone were to get someone to call me with an attempt at a prank call, I'd probably never speak to them again.

@sabbatical We have the exact same pens at the office, but just with name and url… time to ask for a fresh batch, I dare say
