Watchin South Park "Sermon On The ‘Mount" episode

They just hit it on the spot, when seeing the "lil pee pee" i almost lost it, spitting my coffee on the keyboard

[Rizen]

Watching Brooklyn 99.

VASTLY underrated show. I miss Andre Braugher.

Boru

Yeah Brooklyn 99 is awesome.

Preparing for a long Christmas holiday.

Probably going to be away November and December.

Just me, my chariot, beer, beach(es), and my board for summer.

Beccs in her chariot:



I know what you meant, but as soon as you said 'chariot', this is where my brain went.

Anyroad, hope you have a great time!!

Boru

Holy crap, she even looks a little like me.

But, if I was riding a chariot, it would have more spiky bits to hurt people, it would be red to hide the bloodstains, and I wouldn't be wearing that bikini thing.

Either go into battle fully armoured or go sky-clad.

Finally bit the bullet and ordered a carbon steel skillet. A marketplace seller on Amazon had the Tramontina 12" for $35. My first carbon steel experience was a disaster, but I'm much more accomplished in the kitchen and more confident than I was then. And since it was only $35, I'm not worried about losing a lot of money. The only downside is that the order isn't fulfilled by Amazon, so I have to watch for its delivery so it doesn't fall victim to a package thief.

It’s got five full sets of ‘spiky bits.’ They’re pulling the thing.

I bought a couple of room thermometers. It's about 89 F right now. It was a few degrees cooler yesterday, but it felt hotter. I think taking a shower helped.

[Angrboda]

Drinking iced coffee, shopping, and watching baseball.

Discovered a 2 TB SSD that I'd forgotten I have. I thought I had more USB-to-SSD cases, but could only find one of the type I use. Amazon had them for $16. Checked Newegg, they were on sale for $12.50 for 24 hours!

And, I subscribe to Microsoft 365 Personal for the 1 TB of cloud storage included. I've been paying $10 monthly for several months while figuring out what I wanted to do for cloud storage. I checked to see if there were any deals on annual subscriptions, and noted that Amazon offered it for $50 during Prime Days, but I missed it. The only deal was from a retailer with poor reviews. So I checked Newegg, and there was a combo deal of MS 365 with Malwarebytes AV for $60. I have no need for the copy of Malwarebytes, but I'm happy to get my cloud storage situation sorted!

[Angrboda]

This must be my day. I went to turn off recurring billing on my Microsoft 365 subscription, and they offered me two months free to stay subscribed. Woo!

And on top of that, for some reason they gave me four free months instead of two. Weird.

Ordering a 2 TB SSD from Amazon. Orico had a $34 coupon on a PCIE GEN 4.0 SSD. It's a drive that's got a few negatives, being a budget option, but it's good enough for my purposes. I don't need a premium drive.

Of course, this means I'll have to open up my PC. IIRC, the system drive is under one of the motherboard-mounted M.2 slots. I could stand to add and replace a few other things in there, so it's probably due.
