That leopard print raised my eyebrow slightly. Although it does perfectly match the shoes, so I can look past it.

Good advice here.

The faster you drink, the drunker you get and the longer it takes to sober up. Your liver doesn’t hurry things along just because you were dumb. It’s a linear processing speed. And don’t take any meds that dunk on your liver either. No acetaminophen/paracetamol.

And when your liver is busy with alcohol, it isn’t doing glucose (fat metabolism things) management. You’re likely to have low blood sugar if you don’t eat after drinking.

For weed: maybe you’ll be unfortunate like me and have a vasovagal syncope response (fainting). Alcohol enhances the effect.

The answer, they found, is that working muscles effectively outcompete tumors for the glucose supply. Because muscle contraction increases glucose uptake, exercise shifts metabolism, causing tumors to receive less of the fuel they need to grow.

Nailed it. Down to the use of the word “fuel”.

Reminds me of my first day of intro to programming my first semester of freshman year at a small Christian Reformed college.

It opened with prayer and then a lecture on how technology is inherently evil. Then we started writing a java applet.

I applied to a state school within 2 weeks of starting.

Not exactly much cover with the username “perestroika”.

Tangential to the loop

It’s not self-defense if you intentionally put yourself in harm’s way.

I heard an expert talking about the situation this morning and he explained that putting yourself in front of a vehicle is universally considered a bad tactic.

He may be “experienced,” but not with good tactics.

+1 I finally finished my bachelor’s at 31 so I could check a box on job applications. I wouldn’t have my current position without it, useless and inapplicable though it is.

They were famously at odds over that … at least publicly.

It’s also essentially the only thing on his platform today that counts as a “Democratic” position

This stooge is intentionally ratcheting the Overton window.

More neocons in the democratic party.

True! If the Democratic party apparatus can’t galvanize and find a better candidate, it’s just another sign that they’re beyond fully cooked.

I wanted something different from “knife fighter” Ken Martin, but either he’s getting the cold shoulder from the old guard, or he’s pandering to them. Come on Ken, be the Brutus/Longinus to Schumer’s (et al.) Caesar.

This fucking thumb decides to run to the center in a heavily democratic district with his only Democratic bonafide being anti-trump. This isn’t laudable at all. It risks losing a potentially progressive seat to a Lincoln project/bulwark conservative “Democrat.”

If he wanted to do some actual good, he could primary a MAGAt republican in a safely red district. But no.

This is the debate we had when redoing our kitchen. It hurt me to add $8k to the bill (the difference) just for the fridge, but it really is genuinely a different experience. At least it came with a 6 year manufacturer warranty too.

The drawers glide smoothly on real hinges with a soft close, the shelves are individually lit and glass, what plastic there is is thicker and smoother. Everything is easy to adjust or remove for cleaning. It even has a cartridge that removes ethylene gas and produce stays noticeably much fresher.

And as a bonus, I got to support a union manufacturer in the US (subzero).

Just my usual doctored boulevardier (2:1:1 with dash of Bigallet china china) and a small pour of the four roses OBSV private barrel (high rye mashbill, “delicate fruit” yeast strain; really lovely) I found at Costco on Tuesday. Some Domaine Chandon reserve brut coming up soon!

Final fantasy 7 for pc was also 4 cds in 1998.

I scratched one of them and had to beg a friend to lend me their disc so I could get through the story.

Definitely going on my list of “memes you can hear” … Or at least we olds can.

Cowboy caviar

Sounds like Puma Speedcat or something from Sparco. Or some cheap knockoff driving/motorsport shoes. They’re always very flat bottom soles, usually low levels of padding on the bottom for feel.

Piloti if you’re feeling extra ritzy.
