This popped into my head and I needed to make it real

Oh hey Penzeys buddies. Including Penzeys Revolution.

I’m in my partner’s spice cabinet and I swear to god they seem to own every spice and seasoning on the face of the planet EXCEPT garlic or onion

Have you seen the crap they're putting on children's television nowadays? When I was a kid, TV shows made for us were meant to do one thing: sell toys. Now they're all about doing fun activities with your friends, and learning about your responsibilities to greater social harmony. No wonder capitalism is flaming out like a Boeing stock option.

Thing is, even with this renewed focus on teaching children not to be useless, cranky ultra-consumers, the shows don't exactly teach valuable skills. Yeah, yeah, I know, interpersonal discussion, knowing about recycling, outer space, Freudian psychoanalysis, how to make change. All that stuff is covered, and it's fine, but it seems like shows are expecting parents to fill in the gap with these skills. Skills the parents often don't have. The cycle needs to be fixed, and it's television's role, as always, to tell people what to do.

Kids should be learning about the different kinds of screwdrivers, basic wiring, how to replace floor moulding, and what sorts of chemicals might inadvertently create bombs. If there's time, they can cover less practical information, like how to drive an unsynchronized manual transmission in a Detroit Diesel. I'm not asking for too much: I think children do not necessarily need to know how to operate a Lenco unless they're planning on going drag racing, which is a sign of excellent parenting already.

That's why I've bought the rights to the entire back catalogue of The New Yankee Workshop, and recruited a pop starlet to sing a new earworm of a theme song. We're gonna chop up the existing episodes with lots of fast transitions, exploding effects, and a dance party at the end. Wouldn't you rather your toddler ask you for a scroll saw for Christmas?

Dude if there were tunnels to sneak around in rn I’d be all over that shit

@youzicha Following too closely on I-95 is a CHOICE and totaling your 2014 Toyota Prius with an expired inspection sticker is GOD’S PUNISHMENT

I was stuck in Waltham all day taking a defensive driving class to get my driver's license un-suspended when I abruptly remembered that 15 years ago I used to draw dragons all the time. For my entire life I've been all "oh I can't do visual art, just engineering drawings," how did I forget that I used to draw dragons all the time.

Anyway, I tore out a page from the workbook and did a lil sketch. That's Nirothrax, he has four wings and he's mostly dead and the players in my d&d campaign are slowly working up the nerve to finish the job.

Please do not expect me to post a ton of art, literally all I can do are little pencil sketches of dragons.

Happy The Missile Knows Where It Is Monday

14 AXIS MANIPULATOR. WHO EVEN DOES THAT.

I am madly in love with the ANTARES nanoARPES machine at the SOLEIL synchrotron light source. Look at this god damn thing. It's a beautiful monster. What the fuck.

I decided to write my own commentary in the workbook to keep myself entertained. They provide a pretty good record of my state of mind through the day.

These are my marginalia from half an hour in:

And here we are approaching the eight hour mark:

Here’s the workbook btw. I can’t tell if this is sexist or racist or neither or both. Either way I do not trust this man. Much improved by dragons.

I have one of those robot vacuums but there's a mirror in the house low enough to the ground that the lidar scanner can see a nonexistent room in the reflection so on the navigation map it's generated I have a room that doesn't exist that I have to forbid the vacuum from entering.
