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.

@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.
-
@adiwan I'm actually using a basic sugar cookie, plus some gourd puree and relevant spices, a little maple syrup. So far, so good. Last time I was out of cinnamon so they were a bit more like ginger snaps than pie, like I'd hoped, but the texture was great and they worked even without the cinnamon. May cut down the cloves, though...

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.

2020 Part 2 Electric Boogaloo

@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.

So definitely far enough away that nothing had really changed in the neighborhood, but close enough that you start to think for a bit "oh, mango, what if this spills over"

@mrmattimation Well, here's hoping the next attack is equally unsuccessful, I guess.

So you can imagine how I, someone who lives twenty minutes from where that all went down, wish I had worn brown pants today.

@mrmattimation That was a hell of a thing
-
@mrmattimation Also, not sure the miles to minutes ratio outside of CA, but damn dude
-
@scribus honestly, it's twenty minutes to get to the metro station which takes me into the district proper, longer if you try to drive into the district. I live really, really close to the city BUT there's pretty much only one bridge going into and out of the city on the Virginia side, not sure if it's the same story in Maryland. And traffic on that bridge is always, always terrible. I used to drive into Alexandria once a week for school - Alexandria being one of the two cities that borders Washington on this side of the river - and even THAT is a complete nightmare. Definitely not as bad as going from, say, Glendale to Los Angeles, based on photos I've seen, but still pretty bad.

I was viewing a house for purchase but as I stepped in it was worse and worse the further it got. The seller wanted almost 300000€ but the stuff to repair and renovate can be summed up to 100000€ with ease. It looked OK fine from the outside but inside the house showed every bit of horror. The rooms have cracks in the wall. The cellar reeks of oil and had water damage (apparently fixed but I don't believe it's over). The windows are leaky. The thermal isolation has to be improved all around. It needs a new heater in 10 years.
Monday, 04-Jan-21 17:46:07 UTC from web-
@adiwan Water damage is never *truly* fixed (he said with the full extent of his real estate "experience" being haunted house horror flicks)
-
@scribus Yeah. It didn't bode when It was said that water pushed through the wall from the outside. There was a new isolating sheet installed but my suspicion alarm went off hard. There was only one side fixed and my fear was that the other sides were ticking time bombs.

Don’t worry/I’m sorry, I didn’t die in the mass shooting that just happened here
Sunday, 03-Jan-21 00:39:32 UTC from web-
@scribus Not as bad as some we saw pre-pandemic - the police were already nearby because of a robbery that had occurred in the same plaza earlier in the day - but the Wal-Mart I do some of my shopping at a few minutes down the road just got shot up.
-
@mrmattimation Only thing Google showed me was "In 2020, there WERE no Mass Shootings!"
-
@scribus How unfortunate that it took a global pandemic to get our first shooting-free year in two decades

Hey guys, if anyone wants to make a quick buck, the gold prices are likely to increase to by about 100$ an ounce in the next week due to the recent QE / Defense Budget

@oracle If you guys listened to me, you can now sell that Gold. About 100$ of gains

Watched Shazam! yesterday on Netflix for the first time. It was... fine I guess. It didn't blew me away. Still a ton better than the other DC dumpster fires.

@adiwan It was a bit cookie-cutter and obvious, but it was a lot of fun! I want more fun in my movies. I'm over the grit; I think I was there a bit too early, it's worn out its novelty, lol.
-
@scribus It made attempts to be "fun", however I wasn't a big fan of the way it tried to present it. I got a huge character whiplash from Billy Batson in his normal and hero form. I've never had the feeling they were the same character. I can commend the jokes but they were not much of a hit for me.
-
@adiwan I think that might be a lore problem, there have been times where the kid and hero were pretty separate beings (at least, as I've read online; no firsthand comic experience, here). But I can totally see that being a thing.

Back to the Future’s most egregious presumption was that Marty McFly would need entirely different money to buy things in 2015, as if money from 1985 would be no good thirty years later.

@mrmattimation I've worked alongside cashiers who were suspicious of money old enough to be of a design they didn't remember. I, myself, have been taken aback by the changes when I come across an old bill.
-
@scribus Maybe it’s just because I, being the guy who counts the money at the end of the night, see bills from back when we only had 48 states more often than one normally does.
-
@mrmattimation My mom used to keep small bills on hand at work for when something neat or rare came through, so she could swap them out and bring it home.

Any conspiracy theorists here who believe this who Covid-19 thing is a contrived event?
Saturday, 26-Dec-20 20:46:30 UTC from web-
@ricd personally i think Covid is a hoax created for and by the Chinese to make American business less competitive /s

@mrmattimation And *I* think that hoaxes themselves are psychic virii developed by Russian mystics, but you don't hear me going on about it

It also has a backstory in which there was a civil war on Pac World in which Pac-Man’s father, the ORIGINAL Pac-Man, had every single person on the losing side, soldier and civilian alike, executed, and sent to hell, presumably including women and children (the main four ghosts are teenagers). The President of Pac-World, whose brother is the ghost king, keeps the BODY of every single one of the executed soldiers in cold storage as a trophy, and the show’s main conflict revolves around the ghosts trying to get their bodies back.

Speaking of having nothing whatsoever to do, how fares the UK with its mutant COVID strain and tier-4 lockdowns?
Monday, 21-Dec-20 18:23:33 UTC from web-
@adiwan I get it mixed up sometimes too since I have no stake in it. The latest drama with Ireland is the EU wanting to check goods coming across the Irish Sea so companies can't dodge taxes by going through the North-South border, I think. I may have that mixed up. The UK is obviously mangoed off about that because North Ireland is part of the UK, obviously. I was talking to someone up there when I was in Belfast, and they gave the impression that it was going to cut them off economically and actively harm North Irelanders (at least from what my anxious mind was able to gather), which seems hilariously false if you think about it for two seconds. The goods will still flow, just not in the completely hands off way that the UK demands.
-
@thismightbeauser Maybe I should say North-Republic border? I dunno

@adiwan I thought that everyone involved would have demanded a pause on Brexit earlier this year, but it continues.

The most frustrating thing in the world is not being trusted despite the evidence, the adversary lying, and the controlling entity effectively doing nothing.

If your dad wants to feel old, the girl from Steely Dan's "Hey 19" would be 59 today (and to make me feel old, just ask who Steely Dan are)

@scribus Wow uuhhh I'm suddenly not sure how this works, realized my own dad is a year YOUNGER than this??? haha what even is "dad rock," my dad's more into the blues, anyway...

Just read a Star Wars thread on Twitter. Saw the phrase "Star Wars" so many times, it became really clear how absurd an idea "Star Wars" really is on every single level except for the srsbsns "Star Wars" fandom. "Star Wars!"

I'm looking at some houses for purchase because my current living condition has not a very good outlook because of my *neighbours* below me. Oh man... They are so expensive. Most of them are 450000€ or above. There is one house that is in a good area and slightly cheaper than the average, however it needs a ton of work.

Increasingly difficult to write letters to politicians when you aren't allowed to say "kill yourself"
Saturday, 05-Dec-20 17:16:57 UTC from web-
@scribus Around the time of that school shooting in Broward County, I had a cartoon written (and a background painted!) that was just Marco Rubio listening to a bunch of voicemails from constituents telling him to kill himself, it was like four straight minutes of just that, and then the punchline was that he... kills himself. I decided not to do it when I realized it would probably get me a friendly visit from some federal prosecutors looking to ask me some questions.
