I’ve always been a casual runner, never really trained seriously and threw some gear on whenever my body started telling me it needed it. In recent years that’s led to a pretty lax schedule. Yesterday I ran 5k and it marked 6 months of running at least once a week, which is the most consistent I’ve been in about a decade. I’m pretty happy with that.

I’d watch that

The only thing I can think of is that the jar he uses is very close to the diameter of the immersion blender, which restricts the oil incorporation into the emulsion. If you’re using a wider jar it might be allowing too much oil to flow in at once and breaking the emulsion?

I have no idea what that trailer was about, so that tracks with FromSoft, and I love them for it, and I will be playing this. Probably after another base game playthrough

This is actually a really good analysis of what makes a lot of these movies great!

Deserving. There’s a lot to be said about making way for new animation talent but Miyazaki put out one of his greatest movies with this one. It’s beautiful and moving and I had to pee the entire time I saw it and didn’t want to get up and miss anything

Well sure but it’s hurtful when you say it like that

Lemmy loves Cunk and I’m all about it

Aldens are pretty highly regarded for quality. People seem to like Grant Stone as well. I don’t own either, but I have a couple pairs of Rancourt & Co and love them. A few years ago they were doing at cost sales of limited styles, so if you’re in no hurry it might be worth getting on their mailing list and seeing if any more come up.

This isn’t an unpopular opinion this is just something that you think that people don’t like.

It was an easy recent favorite of mine after a playthrough. The atmosphere is so well done. It got me to finally play Alan Wake and I’ll definitely pick up that sequel at some point too.

I got hooked on this one from Pedestrian at Best. That’s a pretty unique track in her works with the punk shining through so heavily but I came to really enjoy the rest of the album. I’m a fan of her lyrical style and I like to describe it as Shower Thoughts, The Music:

More people die on the road than they do in the ocean, Maybe we should mull over culling cars instead of sharks, Or just lock them up in parks where we can go and view them

(from Dead Fox)

I haven’t loved her follow ups as much but she’s still a fun presence in a playlist. Saw her a few times live and she puts on a very solid rock show.

Michters American is an excellent whiskey, especially at its price point. Love a cocktail that’ll highlight the strength of the liquor without busying it up.

My wife has become an avid Switch gamer since we picked one up during COVID and she’s been excited for this one. It also happens to come out on her birthday, which makes this a pretty easy win for me. I’ve been showing her reviews all morning to get her hyped.

I don’t preorders as a rule but this one is sitting there ready to go for Friday. I had to cycle through a bunch of games to kick it off the home screen, so she currently thinks I just couldn’t decide what to play yesterday.

I remember seeing this at a theater screening of Oscar nominated animated shorts. I’d done no research and wasn’t expecting a Don Hertzfeldt entry. I loved it and it’s since become one of my favorite modern sci fi movies. An older woman in the lobby was complaining about it afterwards and I still think it’s funny how different pieces can speak to people in such wildly different ways.

Well I don’t want to get all controversial about it but the thing about India is it’s a country in South Asia with a land area of approximately 3.3 million square kilometers and a population of roughly 1.4 billion. And that might be a hot take, but also we have to keep in mind its primary exports are petroleum goods and textiles. Don’t even get me started on how its borders are the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea, and the Bay of Bengal.
