Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony. However, eating too much pie is OK because the sin of pi is always zero.

You know, I'm not sure I ever really read the Pond Rules at our local nature preserve all that closely before

POND RULES:

No swimming, jumping or gallivanting.
Do not disturb the pond witch.
No fishing with dynamite.
Sacrifices to water gods on alternate Wednesdays only - NO EXCEPTIONS!
Taunt the crows at your own risk.
If a hand comes out of the water to beckon you, turn and walk away.
Do not feed the weretrout.
Is the water burning with cold unholy fire? Report it to the ranger!
They’re not ducks. Run.
Have fun!

A joke my 15yo told me while we were hanging out today:

Man: If I do my Borat impression even ONE more time, I'm going to end up divorced.

Therapist: What? Who told you that?

Man: ...
Man: *visibly struggles*

This is literally the plot of HIGHLANDER 2: THE QUICKENING.

Politico @politico.com · 4d

A 25-person startup is developing technology to block the sun and turn down the planet’s thermostat.

The stakes are huge — and the company and its critics say regulations need to catch up.

I was reading a book the other day and the author threw in a passing mention to a bridge in Cork, Ireland which I’m pretty sure was a gift to me personally because what do you mean the locals have called it The Shakey Bridge for so long that recent conservation works were forced to retain the wobble

There are an incredible amount of movies on Tubi. Some of them may even be worth your time to watch.
As someone who can enjoy a "bad movie" though, I recommend staying away from the "Andromeda" series of films though. Ooooh boy.

Added a makeshift birdbath (a terracotta pot plant dish) to the back yard yesterday, and was happy to see it getting some use by one of the new additions to the neighbourhood.

I was talking to a guy who does beautiful woodworking stuff and I said it seemed hard as hell.

He said "Shit son, doing anything is hard. Hammering in a nail straight is hard. Anyone says something is easy they just don't remember being taught how to do it. Or practice didn't feel like work."

Listen, and understand. Mariah Carey is out there. She can't be reasoned with, she can't be bargained with.
She doesn't feel pity or fear or remorse, and she absolutely will not stop, ever. Because all she wants for Christmas is you!

Every Windows 11 PC is now an Al
PC with Copilot at the center of
it all.
Here's how to get rid of Copilot
completely from your computer
(1/3)

ABI Bouhmaida
@forgoodcode
1/ Settings App
> Personalization
> Taskbar
> Other System Tray Icons
> Switch "Microsoft 365 Copilot App" Off
This hides Copilot from your
taskbar

$(9) ABI Bouhmaida @forgoodcode 2/ Press Win + R > Type in ‘regedit’ > Navigate to "HKEY _CURRENT_USER\ Software \ Policie s\Microsoft\ Windows" > Right-click on the "Windows" Key > New > Key > Name the new key "WindowsCopilot’ > Right-click on the new key EY > DWORD (32-bit) Value$ @forgoodcode
3/
> Name the value
"TurnOffWindowsCopilot’
> Double-click the name of the value
> Set the "Value Data" to 1
> Restart your computer
Congrats! Copilot is now completely
gone from your computer.
Hope this helps

D66 Things Guards Say When You Pass A Stealth Check (Fantasy)

This is a D66 table which is too long to fit into the alt text. It's 36 different things a Guard might say when you pass a stealth check. Here's a selection, anyway:
“Huh. Guess it must have been the wind.”
“Blimey, the size of the size of the rats ‘round here!”
“I must be tired.”
“Don’t bother. This place makes all sorts of weird noises.”
“You’re hearing things! You ought to lay off the whiskey.”
“Guess it was nothing.”
“I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear that.”
“Go on, get out of here!”
“I’m not checking it. You check it.”
“Come on, who’d try to sneak in here?”
“Ugh. I hate this job.”
“Any more noises like that and I’ll be forced to stand up and take a look.”
“I don’t feel like getting shanked in the ribs tonight. Just let it slide.”
“What you mean, ‘strange noise?’ Sounds like a perfectly normal noise to me.”
“My doctor said I’m not supposed to investigate mysterious sounds after 6pm.”
*aimlessly whistles a sea shanty, and dreams of their true purpose: sailing the mighty ocean*
“Ohhh, my aching back! I can barely stand up straight, let alone search for intruders!”
“Geoffrey? Is that you? I’ve told you not to do the hiding thing any more. It’s dangerous.”
“I think someone must have left a window open somewhere.”
to themselves: “Don’t be scared. Shh. There’s no such thing as ghosts.”
“Probably just a harmless drunk. They kip in here sometimes.”
“Hey, your shift’s over! It’s my time to guard. Let me have this, Sylvia.”
reading aloud, weeping: “Dear Erik. I am very sorry, but I must leave you. I’ve found a new lover. He wants to start a family. I can’t wait for your promotion any longer.”
“No, no: my grandfather told me about a time he investigated a nearby disruption. I’m not going to make the same mistake.”

The best time to plant a tree in your yard was ten years ago.
The best time to build a wizard tower in your yard was five years ago.
The best time to brew moonshine and invite the old gods of moss & mischief to share a drink in your yard is this very minute.
