Print advertisement for Jim Beam bourbon whiskey. Photograph shows a bottle of Squirt soda, a dewy, swizzle stick topped rocks glass of Squirt and Jim Beam, and a bottle of Jim Beam bourbon whiskey. Main text imposed over the image reads "Your favorite drink might be something you've never tried. Squirt. Right on the BEAM."

My family does Makers Mark, Squirt, and a dash of bitters as our go to drink, my brother in law dubbed it the Maker’s Squirt (natch) and it’s very good.

Brighton Pier with pebble beach and sea in front of it
After 11 beautiful years in Paris my health has kicked my ass to the point of moving home for the support. I hope it is not permanent 🙏🏻
Also, mentioned this in the Mefi free thread, but you can’t take many plants from the EU to the UK so I’m getting rid of nearly 20!

I hope your health improves soon and your plants find safe, temporary lodging.
@notyou thank you 🙏🏻
All the best to you. And to your plants. May you all land someplace that soothes what ails you.

Sorry to hear that, Paris is ace.
Is that Brighton? Not a bad place to jump back to and glad you'll get lots of support there :)

Hi! Sending you support from this corner. And remember, you have nothing to prove to anyone.
Thanks all, @waldopepper it is Brighton

Couple of old computer punch cards.
Found in a box at work. I felt like Indiana Jones picking them up. They’ll now live out their remaining days as bookmarks.
One of my rainy day work projects is to scan the box of punched cards sitting in my workroom to find out what it does.
@bezt Analog GitHub.
Related: _Print Punch_ is a lovely coffee table book on punch cards, if you're into that sort of thing. https://centrecentre.co.uk/products...
One of my advisors had a horrible story involving walking across campus "to the computer" carrying his Fortran deck for some work for his doctorate . . . and dropping them. In a windstorm.
@williwaw how does it feel to know the inventor of one way encryption?
@hertz Outstanding. 10/10. No notes.
Jealous.
@bezt Don’t tempt me with a good time. That and a microfiche audiobook and I’m set for a whole weekend.
@hertz ++
There's one thing you can know for sure about what a box of punched cards does: Not much.
they were nice boxes
This is the one case I can think of that reverse enshittified. We went from a programming language that required extra purchases for each couple lines of code to languages that allow you to have all the code you want for free.

Swirling clouds, some in rainbow colours
Extremely rare atmospheric phenomenon called rainbow bridge or circumhorizontal arc when the sun is at least 58º above horizon and ice crystals in clouds form rainbows.

Looks like the remnant vapor trail from a missile launch. I used to see those back when I was a kid and test firings would happen from Vandenburg AFB.
Big Bifröst vibes there.

A very steep series of hairpin bends on a desert road
'Situated in the Andes on the Chilean side of the Argentina-Chile border, Los Caracoles Pass, also referred to as "Snail Pass," is a hazardous mountain road. With an elevation reaching 3,175 meters, it ranks among the top 5 most dangerous roads globally, characterized by 29 sharp turns during the descent.'

I like roads with turns, but wow that look tedious

Screenshot of a poem titled "Voting as Fire Extinguisher". Line breaks are provided below as per the original.
When the haunted house catches fire:
a moment of indecision.
The house was, after all, built on bones,
and blood, and bad intentions.
Everyone who enters the house feels
that overwhelming dread, the evil
that perhaps only fire can purge.
It's tempting to just let it burn.
And then I remember: there are children inside.

a life-size dalek in a workshop. the dalek has its front panel removed, revealing a seat with a cat sitting on it inside the dalek.
though I feel they wouldn't want to exterminate everyone, just mind control everyone to get proper pets and good wet food.
but how can we be sure ...
The whole time.

May be an image of 4 people, burger and text that says '%u5FC3%u91CE%u516C%u751F I would like to buy a hamburger for the same price that it was 2 hours ago. Wendu Sir, this is a Wendy's'

outrage source: https://apnews.com/article...
"Wendy’s is looking to test having the prices of its menu items fluctuate throughout the day based on demand, implementing a strategy that has already taken hold with ride-sharing companies and ticket sellers."
I don't think they understand how easy it is to just drive past Wendy's.

I'll tell you later.
According to film lore, that line was improvised, which only leaves me with more questions.
@macmanx I sincerely want to believe the story about the watermelon being a test as to whether the executives had given up on watching the dailies.

Always have a spare handy. I buy these by the bushel
And yet, you keep the model secret. Unkind!
I am a Pilot Razor Point hardliner when it comes to cheap pens. But I am pleased by pen loyalty in general.
I like the Pilot G-2's, in the .7mm size, basically essential for me.
@spingo Looks like a Uni-Ball Signo - maybe the UM-153? https://www.jetpens.com/Uni-ball...
@chauffi Same, with a strong preference for blue.
@ufez blue? or the blue/black! There are hills to expire on
I discovered Rotring makes ridiculously affordable fountain pens (approx 25 euros) with nibs that float on air. And stumbled on a Diamine ink called Writer's Blood. Imma writing my dissertation in it, of course.
My last good Uniball just ran out of ink.
Pilot, but make it weird multi-pen. https://mltshp.com/p/1PUC3
(I just made https://mltshp.com/stationery)
Or, ask a waiter/waitress, they usually have nice pens.
@chauffi I can respect the blue/black folks, but if I want a second color, "Burgundy" is my choice. They're a little tougher to find but worth it.
for me, it is the Platinum Preppy. with refillable cartridges.
@spingo, @bezt is Correct. I also keep the .5 and .25 handy for doodling. With Blue and Red for highlights.
Stabilo Sensor is the house brand here.
@heyitsal ,\m/
@cristin I *love* their nibs...

A bunch of Pilot G-2 07 pens sit in a dumpster fire pen holder
I can't note without these pens, I also buy them by box and have a lifetimes worth squirreled about.
RE: https://mltshp.com/p/1PUBP
RE: https://mltshp.com/p/1PUBP
Pilot G-2 stan here, too
hard same, love these pens, also squirrel them around like they might disappear tomorrow - when lockdowns first occurred and we started seeing shortages most people thought about food or TP but I was all "MY PEHHHNS"

More for me then
Needs a soft tortilla, though.
Hotdogs + mac & cheese is one of my favorite things.
@bencmeissner SECONDED!!
@bencmeissner yes, and throw them on the grill for a few seconds on each side while you're cooking the dogs.
Also, I feel like this will be coming to a Jack in the Box near me in time for Summer.
Still a sandwich
Would
@urlnotfound I had it ONCE as a child at a friends house and I never forgot.
Definitely would.
Hell yes
@bencmeissner - but then you lose the Crunch Factor(tm)!
@crazyunclejoe But it would fall apart. If you want Crunch Factor, you just throw some ghost pepper Cheetos on there.

Satellite imagery of heat signatures from wildfires stretched across about half of the upper Texas panhandle
One of them, the Smokehouse Creek Fire, has become the 5th largest fire in TX state history since starting yesterday, at about ~250k acres burned!
Parts of Texas set heat records yesterday with central Texas reaching 100 F (37.7 C). In FEBRUARY. What's frightening about it is how fast it blew up: a cold front with very high wind speeds moved through the area and turned the wind direction 90 degrees from W-E to N-S, essentially creating a front 60 miles wide in spots, which you can watch as it happens via satellite: https://twitter.com/TimLong3... smoke: https://twitter.com/BenJurko....
Just some super scary extreme fire behavior with that wind shift, it's incredible that there's been no word of anybody getting burned over: https://twitter.com/CIRA_CSU...
Multiple, entire towns have been evacuated, some with no warning.
Don't have anything yet on the fires in Australia right now but going to give Victoria a run for their money, I guess. :(

ChatGPT replied, "The image shows text that appears to be a CAPTCHA, designed to distinguish human users from bots. The text is distorted to make it challenging for automated systems to read. However, to a human, it should read 'e3TJ6JdP'."

I’m sorry, Dave. I can’t do that.
greetings, fellow hoomans
that's okay, recaptchas have been powering the military-industrial complex by giving human recognition identification for datasets for years.
