SMOOSHED

I definitely made them a bit big. Also I forgot to mention coating them in sugar which means they smoosh really well, no sticking at all

Also it’s difficult not to eat this dough it smells delicious xD

18 flattened but with a dome on top from the bottom of the glass ginger cookies just into the oven on parchment paper

Dig results. The difference is clear.

Okay so

I have one (1) website I can't reach on my DNS server. It's my _domain's_ server, which I run, this isn't just a client. It's bind9 on debian.

The domain is misfile.com, it's a webcomic.

Google's public DNS server pulls it up just fine. Mine […]

Whups, big eastrail closure down south from December 1-5.

Gonna drop a new map tomorrow, it'll have some other correcitons too.

#seattle #seabikes #BikeTooter #bikemap #eastrailtrail #eastrail #renton
Full Closure Eastrail Closure 12/1-12/5/2025 The Eastrail will be closed from December 1-5 near the Seahawks Training Center in Renton in order for crews to conduct trail repairs. Parks contractors will place and compact a new layer of gravel over the existing trail. Trail users should seek alternate routes during construction. The nearest trail access points are N 43rd St south of the closure and Ripley Lane N north of the closure.

Moss on the ruins of a bridge, seen on a side-wall still standing.

#Mosstodon
Bright green moss on the dark brownish-grey concrete cement of a 1910s-era bridge, mostly torn down but some left in place. The moss has grown here before, building a thick layer of brownish decomposition serving as anchor and food for the newer moss extending brilliant green tendrils upwards as it grows upwards away from the ground.

two unusual views of Burke-Gilman Trail on a wet but not rainy day

#burkegilman #burkegilmantrail #seattle #bothell #photography #autumn #northshore
A wet blacktop bike / ped mixed-use trail seen from above heading diagonally across the frame from the middle-height -left to lower right. The trail is seen partly behind bare trees, on a cloudy day. Most of the nearby trees have dropped their leaves, so the hilly ground is a mix of ferns and brown leaves, with the trail passing through the flat lowest elevation. Higher up and in the middle-distance is an empty paved road, beyond which are more trees and beyond that clouded hills. A wet blacktop bike / ped mixed-use trail heading diagonally from the lower-left to mid-height right before turning left and disappearing behind trees on a cloudy day. All the nearby trees have dropped their leaves, so the hilly ground is a mix of ferns and brown leaves. A single person in hooded rain gear can be seen from behind halfway along the length jogging away from the viewer and past a single inexplicably-placed faded caution cone.

Various lies about asserting that the "claim" that vaccines _don't_ cause autism is "not an evidence-based claim" and lying that "studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities." Anti-vax conspiracy shit hosted by the actual US CDC.

I love that I can watch Desert Bus this way if I want to.

(And occasionally, I actually want to. Still have the proper audio, of course. xD )

#desertbus
Desert Bus for Hope livestream chat on the right side of the screen, with the separate actual-game-view of the driver's cockpit of a bus driving along a straight road for hours occupying the rest of the screen to the left. The current driver's name is GUNNER, and no bug splat is visible on the windshield.

Wait how is GenX not the unspecified "others" - particularly when Zoomers aren't even mentioned?

the battery seems to be fine.

the solenoid fires but _dang_ it wants a lot of power but is that normal? also it’s <1 ohm and that seems… wrong

I made more cargo trailer parts purple. ^_^

#maker #biketrailer #BikeTooter
A closeup of the left verticle handlebar/pushbar holder, with the white mounts replaced with new spiffier purple mounts. View from the front of the cargo trailer, with the new, dark purple rail holders where the white ones used to be. The handlebar/pushbar also has a few pieces of blue tape, where the foam is being repaired with black (really dark grey) adhesive caulk, with tape being used to confine and shape the caulk.
