Factorio. Do you like logistics? Gigantic over complicated supply chains? Automating everything imaginable, and then blowing up zerg-like monsters?
It is the best, and it is still in alpha.

Baseball is super boring, but the tickets are cheap(lol Mariners) and the stadium has decent garlic fries so I go once a year.

Edit: I usually leave when the team falls apart and we are behind by 5+ points, so usually the 7th inning.

I need to exercise more, I used to quite a bit when I was just out of high school but that was back when I had to walk 3 miles to work so I was used to it.
My current job is working for an old manufacturing company and wowing people with crazy ideas like 'lets put documents on *the cloud*' and winning awards for those ideas.

I roasted a bunch of different kinds of mushrooms only this time I used sesame oil instead of olive oil. It worked out really well. Gotta put some chipotle chili powder on them when you put them in the oven, that's the secret to amazing roasted mushrooms.

Try avocado oil sometime, it's very buttery and it has a higher smoke point. I usually use a mix of avocado oil and butter when cooking mushrooms.

*edit*

I tried the avocado oil when I made mushrooms. They were much better than when I'd been using olive oil but about the same as when I used sesame oil, maybe a little better. Thanks for the good advice Mrit.

Avocado oil is awesome for everything since it has a smoke point of a blistering 520F, highest of all commonly used oils(for example, evoo has a smoke point of 320F). It tastes buttery, and is one of the healthier oils around.
It's also hasn't been pushed by celebs much so it is still reasonably priced.
I showed my sister-in-law how to properly caramelize onions and cook mushrooms last week, she usually cooked them together(???) so we fixed that.

Passing on the right is actually dangerous, especially since someone going slow on the left will force multiple people to pass on the right. I personally try and flash lights and eventually a brief 'honk' before going that route, but I live in Seattle, land of 'I'm going 58 in the left lane, how dare you honk at me!'.
