Harris stretches lead over Trump in what could be significant increase
  • As an American, this scares me.

    I try to share this site when national pole articles come out, because these are the only numbers that matter in our election. It doesn't matter how blue California is if they rat-fuck the elections in the swing states.

  • To Americans: How far apart is everything in the US?
    • To the nearest convenience store: 1.3km (small supermarket)
    • To the nearest chain supermarket: 2.25km (Trader Joe's)

    • To the nearest (public) park: 1.1km
    • To the nearest big supermarket: 2.89km (Safeway)
    • To the nearest library: 1.3km
    • To the nearest train station: 1.8km

    Straight-line distance to Golden Gate Bridge: 11.6km

  • PSA: Don't just eat peanut butter
  • drinking six liters in three hours has caused the death of a human.

    That sounds like a very small amount in three hours.

    I had a situation when I was stuck working in a very hot engine room. I went through a gallon in an hour and got Ill afterwards. I still don't know if it was the heat, water or a combination.

    Either way, I did learn that if I get in a situation where I'm so hot that the sweat is running, the answer is to cool off, not just slam water.

  • Pastas Assembled
  • This is making me chuckle, because I just did this last night for a dinner party. It was a hell of a lot of pasta for 7. I kept it moving, even in my big stock pot. Only a few strands stuck to the bottom. We have leftovers.

    I usually cook a quarter of that for the two of us, sometimes half if I want to eat for a couple of days.

    2lbs/1 kg is a lot.

    Chronova Engineering produces exquisite mechanical marvels. Their production values are astonishing, with incredible macro work and a very soothing narration.

    Why stand in line to board an airplane?

    The seats are assigned. People have been standing in line for 15 minutes now. Why on earth would anyone want to stand there, when they could just sit and wait until the line clears?

    I understand wanting to get off a plane ASAP, but boarding? You just end up sitting on the plane, waiting for everyone else to get on.

    Who's Up?

    I just got to work at 02:30, covering the second half of the graveyard shift. Pretty quiet night.

    The What! Help is on the way. One of my all-time favorites, now almost completely erased from digital history.

    This album has phenomenal songwriting. It's got a kind of laid-back LA-surf-rock sound with elements of punk and maybe a hint of wistful country in the lyrics.

    The album and band appear endangered, unavailable on any music streaming service.

    The only online version I could find is this a random YouTube upload with almost no views.

    They were introduced to me by a friend's sister in, like 1999. Their band ended quickly after the death of one of the members.

    The only other digital presence related to them now appears to be a remaining band member's channel, which hasn't been updated in 11 years.
