Pedantic love of arcane rules, dressing up, and esoteric bits of technology. Turns out I’ve been autistic the entire time.

I’m going out on a limb (no pun intended) and suggesting that the sock with the star is Pete “performative” hegseth. Who is dressed like KEv O’Neil is drawing a baby eating US politician.

TBF, when I was at FOB Price in Afghanistan, which was reputed to be the best cookhouse in Helmand, we had lobster tails and steak, and once when they couldn’t get lobster they did king crab legs.
And there was an ice cream machine, but everyone caned it so it was only on a couple of times a week.

I have a CT scan tomorrow and the instructions say “no food from three hours before the scan, but clear liquids are ok.”
For the purposes of this instruction, does espresso count as a clear liquid?

I feel sorry for those who are especially groovy. It must take them ages.

Personally, I would have blown it on ragwater, bitters, and blue ruin.

I left the pocket on my bag unzipped, and I have lost my really nice spoon.
Very annoying.
The hunt for another good spoon starts now.

Also, being in the scanner sounds like being in a particularly industrial techno club, probably one in Berlin.

Confirmation text from the hospital that I have an appointment with NUCLEAR MEDICINE, in capitals to make it extra exciting.
There is always the slight chance of EXPLOSIONS, or waking up with superpowers.

Not for everyone, but I think the Borderlands series is hilarious.
