If I was a bigger fan of Mexican, I'd probably take you up on it.

Alas, I'm spice wimp with a couple of common "nope" ingredients, which makes it a tricky cuisine.

I'm sure they exist, but I'm guessing finding them involves finding the right locals to ask and driving five towns over.

I can find a lot of cuisines in the area, there's a Columbian place that smells amazing, but the Mexican places I remember from my childhood seem to have all closed.

You clearly don't spend a lot of time in the suburbs.

I have no idea where to find a good, much less great, Mexican restaurant, but I can find multiple Taco Bells and Chipotles.

I'm hoping for too much money.

Which will then turn into more books.

Was just watching a YouTube video that made me realize why the world is in such an awful state.

So which one of you didn't forward that chain email?

I'm so deeply hoping this ends with him being fired.

A comment on a Tumblr post that broke containment and migrated to Reddit is stuck in my head.

I cannot stop thinking about it.

Fortunately, that looks like an easy fix.

It's going to be a long two months.

Disagree. Definitely ask it how to do that.

Let's make sure the cops don't have an excuse to pin it on someone else.

And don't assume that Amazon will pass on the typos you reported in the ebook.

And the last time I pushed through an audiobook because I cared about the solution to a mystery, but not other plot elements, we didn't even get a solution to that mystery.

11.03.2026 03:06 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The dilemma: I want to know what happened in the mystery portion of this audiobook, but I don't give a damn about our main character and the author's attempt to set up a love triangle.

And nobody seems to have posted a spoiler filled plot summary on the web.

A thread that started two days ago with someone proclaiming that they'd take out Laura Ingalls Wilder, while the other time travelers were taking out Hitler, has somehow turned to a discussion of Arthur Conan Doyle's copyrights.

Narrator: So, you're probably wondering how I got here.

Are you sure? They're both naked.

I wouldn't be shocked if they want that.

They'd probably see it as a rallying point to get everyone on board with their war.

Depends on which book.

One of them takes place in a location that sounds like a genuinely nice place to live, as long as I don't have to be involved in the murder investigation.

If we're talking in a physical sense, I'd say 600 pages.

I've happily read books longer than that, but they're harder to hold for a long time or bring with you to read in a free moment.

She can probably stroll into Mordor and just toss the in the ring.

Had a medical appointment that was basically one big shit show.

On the one hand, I would love to be off Eliquis. Otoh, I really don't trust this guy's judgment.

No, measles boosters are definitely a thing.

Great.

Now they're floating up near the ceiling and vibrating in and out of the visible light spectrum.

That seems incredibly short-sighted.

Vaccine booster shots exist for a reason.

My parents were born in the 40s. Measles wasn't something everyone got the way chicken pox was.

They spent most of the day in the fridge and we ate them over the next week.

09.03.2026 04:59 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I really doubt it.

The point of the parties was to get chicken pox over with while kids were still young and it was, generally, still pretty mild.

Measles are dangerous at any age and parents knew that.

Just reading that one clip tells me these people shouldn't be running anything.

Nothing is competing with Renaissance Faires and Coachella.

Those are two very different events.

Pretty sure everyone just hardboiled them back in the 80s.

I wasn't surprised they didn't screw that one up, even before I read the cherry vanilla bit on the label.
