  1. I have the ominous feeling that Trump will be silent for a short while (a few weeks) and then turn up his usual rhetoric undermining Biden from the side lines. Through which means I don't know.

  2. I jumped in and out of a live stream of the US presidential inauguration. That was quite an act. A show, more like it. Most of the time was watching people arrive and take a seat. Obviously I was skipping that doing other stuff.

  3. I pulled the trigger on buying the bandsaw. My mother wanted to cut something in a particular way and it was reason enough to finally buy one. A Proxxon MBS 240/E.

  4. @scribus Carb Coma makes me angry with myself. Also my stomach will do the rampaging.

  5. I'm too much of a pacifist to rampage. But oh boy I do feel I'm about to rampage.

  6. I bought a new pair of earphones and they are fantastic. However they are so good that I can hear the crappiness of my phones DAC. In quiet sections I hear so much "sparkling" noise that it's somewhat distracting.

  7. I'm on the verge of buying a mini bandsaw from Proxxon for about 250€.

  8. Finished watching Disenchantment. It was alright. I didn't enjoy its scattered way of picking up and dropping plots. Elfo and Luci have improved.

  9. @scribus Pizza was also a problem for me. Thankfully I haven't burnt myself with pizza (and its cheese) for a long time. Those burns last for days. Whenever I make or buy pizza I am paying attention to the amount of fat and cheese it has, which are always the culprit. So in the case of making pizza myself I cover the pizza lightly with cheese that that there is not a thick layer that can keep the molten lava hot long after it's out of the oven. I like thin and crispy pizzas anyway. The more cheese and fat the soggier they are and the harder the slices are to handle and eat. I bake my pizzas such that the bread is stiff enough the pizza (slice) can hold up itself.

  10. @scribus Just happened to me. I poured steaming hot tea into my mug and didn't put a thought into waiting for it to cool down for a short while. But other to the actual case of that happening it's a great idea for using it as a metaphor for various things. Your interpretation fits it well. It can also applied to saying things that are potentially false or need more time to be sure they are not.

  12. @scribus And then the Saudis got rich because a bunch of dinosaurs and old plants decided to rot below the earth and turn into a slimey liquid.

  13. The longer I search for houses the more depressed I get.

  14. Oof... I just had to fix a huge clog in my 3d printer. I need to order a few more pneumatic couplers for the bowden tube. Once they dug into the PTFE tube they are impossible to remove.

  16. @scribus I'm not a pumpkin guy but I imagine a simple chunky butter wheat cookie covered with a sugar glazing and small caramelized pumpkin chunks.

  17. @scribus In Germany most bakeries offer them, besides other baked sweets like pudding filled puff pastry and "sugar cake" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterkuchen ) and "bee sting cake" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bienenstich ) and crumb cake ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streuselkuchen ).

  18. @scribus This is a pretty good representation of how they look like https://www.oma-kocht.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/amerikaner-backen-rezept-hirschhornsalz-e1571326776705.jpg

  19. @scribus The kind I know is a spongy cake in the shape of a disc with a round bottom and a flat top side of about 2 cm - 2.5 cm of thickness and the top side is covered with a sugar glazing with some hints of lemon.

  20. I haven't eaten an "Amerikaner" for a long time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_and_white_cookie Here it's mostly sold with only white glazing.

  22. @scribus Well... It's enough time to be sure that no one has turned to a Cronenberg monster by side effects of any vaccine.

  23. @scribus Comparatively I live in a quite dense area with a lot of 3 or 4 story buildings on average. My city has a population of about 250000 and yet "only" about 50 people have died and 2600 were infected and a daily rate of 40 new cases. On the other hand the distribution of vaccine is abysmal. The amount my region (the wider area) got is almost nonexistent compared to others.

  24. Anthrax in mail and Icelandic volcanoes were more "fun" worldwide threats and annoyances.

  25. I was sooo optimstic that everything would be over sooner. I was thinking it'd be like SARS and MERS when it comes to the global impact. Serious but much more contained. How foolish I was.

  26. @scribus 2022 will be 2020 Part 3: Return of the King. The end will be very long and will end many times, and will have a war towards the end with the remaining forces of evil. But it will finally be a new age of mankind.

  27. Some people declared years ago that we live in the age of information. I'd say it has become the age of misinformation through an act of perversion with ignorance, greed, and dishonesty.

  29. For people who love democracy and upholding the American ideals it seems like the rioters are doing the opposite of that.
