I fucking hate beetroot.

I fucking hate beetroot.

I have a kind of unique angle on this..

When I was sick as a kid and on the childhood cancer ward with leukaemia they had some kids on a specific stem cell therapy and the preservative used for it during freezing was dimethyl sulfoxide, as a result the entire ward which I regularly spent 1-3 weeks on at a time smelt like beetroot. I literally can't be in the same house as the stuff without feeling queasy. I've had people open a jar on the other side of the house and I feel ill instantly nauseous without even knowing it's there.

What's really crazy is some folks experience the smell of this DMSO as garlic and some as creamed-corn; while others like me sense it as beetroot (I think there's some genetic variation in how we respond to the size of various molecules).

Sorry to hear you went rough that, especially as a kid.

I'm the same. My mum loves the stuff. As soon as she opens a jar of the stuff I'm feeling sick.

Of all the days I have to come into work. Tomorrow is the most inconvenient. Should have taken PTO.

Going to watch all the Predator movies over the next few days. Except The Predator. I like to pretend that one doesn't exist.

What would you call JK Rowling if she went to space?

Astroterf.

That's it. That's my random thought.

I would like to live in the Falklands.

I really would.

Perfectly proportioned boobs on a suitably proportioned body are rarer than a perfectly proportioned ass.

Therefore: Boobs>Ass when weighing for hotness on a scale.

Don't look up that porn star you used to like on social media

Which porn star you talking about?

I recently finish eating a bag of delicious pretzels and of course I see an ad for the same exact brand on YouTube, only moments later.

There was a little FBI agent inside the bag.

Flipped my monitor to portrait mode. I may be high but this is definitely better.

Feckit, just broke the tea bag.

I'm a serial teabag squeezer.

I'm so icy.

Is Rust beginner-friendly?

Had a thought, thought I'd share it later rather than double post, forgot it.

I was reading a 5 year old reddit thread about some 25 year old japanese drama, and someone mentioned Densha Otoko, which is a 20 year old japanese drama. "Densha Otoko" sounded fairly familiar, I googled it and this is the first image that came up

Seeing this silly screenshot gave me like a sudden "rush" of very vividly remembering something which I didn't even notice I've forgotten. It's such a strange feeling. Think like, idk, seeing the old Sierra Logo or something. It's great in the way that it's very much something nice/pleasant to recall, but also I can't help wondering how many other stuff I've forgotten.

I've often thought about keeping a "diary", for this kind of shit specifically. What music did I listen to in April of 2011? What TV shows had I been watching in March 05? For example I love browsing old YouTube playlists I created like almost 20 years ago, but obviously yt is not a viable way for logging this in any meaningful way. And actually doing it in a meaningful way is, afaik, not really feasible. Like just posting screenshots to a scrapbook/sheet obviously wouldn't cut it, and then you'd obviously had to maintain that shit. It's too bad there isn't a good solution for this, unless something like Neuralink becomes viable.

On Star Trek Enterprise, Shran and Andorians would call humans "pink skin" on the show.

I guess someone forgot to tell him....

Travis Mayweather should have stood up and yelled "WHO THE FUCK YOU CALLING PINK SKIN, MOTHERFUCKER!?"

It is not.
Python is a good choice for beginners.
