I already apologized to Lucas for thinking the prequel plot [where everybody enthusiastically gives up their freedom to give an obviously evil man more power to protect them from a trivial threat] was unrealistic, now this…

Remember that time on Star Trek Next Gen when Geordie created an ai replica of a real person to ask it questions from her pov and she rightly freaked out when she found out because it's fuckin' creeper shit?

Yeah, not sure why that's coming to mind right now.

I will be severely disappointed if there is not at least one of these somewhere in the HQ of Hormel, Smithfield, and/or Oscar Mayer.

me: so octopuses…

student: do you mean octopi?

other professor: oh no you didn’t

student: I TAKE IT BACK

me: so, in English, we borrow not only WORDS, but MORPHOLOGIES, and since octopus is a Greek word borrowed into Latin borrowed into English…

Today was the shortest I've ever been at the Official Service Center, especially for multiple things.

I'm hoping it's just because it was the day after time change, or all the oil-change and tire shops popping up.

I'm worried it's people putting off maintenance in favor of food or rent/mortgage.

Fun discovery in Scotland: Lowlanders and Highlanders do not get along well...

...unless there's an Englishman nearby. Then, they unite in their grudges against the English, the accents thicken, and they start dropping in Gaelic and local slang.

I think many Americans haven't quite internalized that previous oil price shocks have been buffered by imports from elsewhere, and that Trump has pissed off all of the USA's traditional friends such that nobody is super-incentivized to help out.

The next day, the panic buying started, and corporate announced caps on orders because we* emptied the warehouses.

I saw the first case in GA, considered that national leaders were political appointees/yes-men, and promptly ordered for a 3 day blizzard.

It remains the largest single delivery I've received/worked.

Throughout history, many methods of divination have been devised. From cards and tea leaves to intestines and flight patterns of birds.

You wouldn't think it is a field one can still innovate, but I'm creating a system based on the flick of cat ears.

It's not finished, but I enjoy the research.

Two hiker bunnies, with backpacks, are at a campsite with a wooden lean-to. One arrived earlier, and already is in a sleeping bag. The other one is just arriving as the sun goes down

the thing is that it won't matter because Americans react minor inconveniences the way people in other countries react to a sinkhole opening up and swallowing the national capital during a presidential address
