What a weird tradition, but obviously nothing to call out the Trumpster for I guess.

I think its the wording of it.

"National Day of Patriotic Devotion" sounds like it would be a national holiday in the DPRK, during which citizens found to not be devoting themselves to patriotism enthusiastically enough would be rounded up and sent off to work camps or shot.

So I went to get some groceries earlier today and I swore to god that I saw her. And it took me a couple beats to realize it was not her and to remember that she was dead. That shook me up pretty bad, I flagged an employee over, explained I had to leave and apologized for the items in my cart and went to my car where I cried for a bit.


I guess I was fooling myself when I said I was gonna be fine from here on out.

FTFY.

Also, get a digital kitchen scale. They're dirt cheap, and for powders or stuff with varying grain sizes (salt) you'll have yooooge variations in actual amount of ingredient; these are all precisely 1 kg of flour:

These are all precisely one liter of flour:

It's a defined size, not a drinking mug.

Even if you are just using a random container, it shouldn't matter so long as you use the same container throughout the process - it's all relative?

Taboo, the BBC TV series with Tom Hardy as a man who returns to Britain after twelve years in Africa, right around end of the war with the United States. Good stuff, and it's only on its third episode, so you can get in from the start :)

Jonathan Pryce is amazing (as always) as the chairman of the East India Company.

E: Recommended because I love gritty historical fiction, and this is about as gritty as it gets (without the ridiculous sex+violence excesses of HBO).

The little bit of time I get to work on the race car I enjoy immensely even if it isn't enough to really accomplish anything. Witcher 3 has also been a pretty good time waster and is very effective at making me forget about the car I should be working on.

I'm playing the Witcher 3 on PC, which is straight up dead good. Wasn't sure if I'd get into it but I bought it on recommendation and I'm already 35 hours in. Televisually I've mostly been watching British comedy quiz shows.

I think it helps that he and Gatiss are mostly just adapting the classic stories. The end of the special last year was more pure Moffat and Gatiss and it was garbage from what I remember.

One thing I rather liked about Gran Turismo is the Japanese special editions of 4, 5, and 6 came with a guidebook that had a lot of stuff about the cars, the game and racing in general, but also had entry level guides to driving theory and customization, including suspension setups.
