I'm feeling oddly free too, in that I just realized that certain events of the last two and a half years have sort of scrambled my brain to the point that I don't really care what other people think of me in general anymore, other than as a feedback mechanism to help evaluate whether I'm meeting my own internalized standards. This is kind of a weird thing to realize.

After enduring audible commercials for what seems like years, I finally downloaded a (free) book only to find that it's a single, 9 hour long, password protected audio file that only plays in itunes.

I owe this year since I didn't know exactly how to deal with my situation. Thankfully its only a few hundred dollars and not a few thousand dollars. Kind of glad I prepared ahead of time so now I do have a little surplus. It's not huge by any means, but I'll treat myself to something nice.

I haven't had much luck with my Aeropress

Might be because I've been using regular grind coffee, I know it's best with something between regular grind and fine espresso grind but I never have it.

Yeah, the trick with AeroPress is to start with the right grind, preferably fresh-ground.

I've felt pregnant for the last few hours brehs. Dunno what I ate but something has tied my stomach in knots to the point I can barely walk straight; every 5 minutes I feel like something is stuck in my intestines or something. Haven't been able to take a dump, nothing comes out. But I have farted, lots of gas brehs. It's the only time I feel decent.

I made some spaghetti with lentils instead of meat for dinner, but my stomach was hurting even before that. I had some Hot Tamales from the Dollar Store before that. I feel better now than I did a few hours ago, but it's probably due to me lying down.

Add me to the dairy haters group. Just ate some homemade beer cheese soup and feel like I'm gonna puke. Been like this since I was a kid but no fucks given. Might even eat some Half Baked here in a minute cause fuck it.

I got burnt out on almond milk (plus peanuts and almonds make my body feel like death), but coconut milk tastes almost identical to regular milk, at least in cereal and to cook with. Silk's actually has a coconut flavor but most of the other brands I've tried taste normal.

so here's a thought, if the greatest mercy is the inability for the human mind to collate all of its contents (per HPL's Call of Cthulhu) then what has the hyper collection of data on behalf of the NSA and its analytic uncovered?

are there bunkers of insane server farms out there?

Charles Stross has probably already mined this vein somewhere but still cool to think about in an RPG scenario way.

Dentist last week said I had such a huge cavity on a chipped tooth that it would need an extraction but got a second opinion and that new dentist referred me to an endodontist for a root canal and to come back for a crown. How much does that usually run with insurance?

Go to the dentist more than every 2 brehs.
