I am not sure what to say about a political figure that points to actual riots happening under his own administration and uses them to criticize the guy who's running against him in the next election.

Jul 17, 2020, 9:47 PM -04:00 Very late to the party on this one but I finally made @alisoneroman 's anchovy shallot pasta and I am shocked at how mellow this stuff is, considering it has a shit ton of shallots and a whole jar of anchovies. Good stuff!

-
Jul 10, 2020, 10:16 AM -04:00 TIL I learned that "boat", "bait", "bite", "bolt", and "bitter" are all cognates, from a PIE word meaning to strike or split (the connection with boat appears to be that one used to make them by hollowing out split tree trunks).
-
Jul 3, 2020, 7:32 AM -04:00 TIL that the "-ly" suffix commonly added to words in English to denote an adverb comes from the word "like" (still existing in the word "ladylike", for example). So "slowly" came from "slow-like" and "carefully" came from "careful-like" (possibly explaining the double "l").
-
Jun 30, 2020, 8:49 AM -04:00 TIL that "marshmallow" is actually a very old word, derived from the Old English word "mersc-mealwe" describing a "kind of mallow plant (Althea officinalis) which grows near salt marshes."

-
May 28, 2020, 9:42 PM -04:00 TIL from @englishhistpod that Wales and Welsh both come from an Anglo-Saxon word meaning "foreigner", which is ironic given that the Welsh were the native Britons and the Anglo-Saxons were the invaders. Also: the wall in Cornwall and the wal in walnut mean "foreign" as well!

-
May 15, 2020, 2:36 PM -04:00 Annoying how most recipes calling for condensed milk call for a 14 oz can, while the cans in Canada appear to be 300 ml (10 oz).

May 9, 2020, 8:06 PM -04:00 The pandemic will be over when I can eat in a crowded restaurant again.
-
May 9, 2020, 6:40 PM -04:00 I wonder about combining static site generators and photo galleries. I know it's a thing, and yet it feels a bit off, especially when you have 10GB of photos.

Apr 21, 2020, 4:42 PM -04:00 I love how comiccon isn't cancelled, it's just "postponed" until next year.

-
Mar 24, 2020, 12:41 PM -04:00 Saw Trevor Noah doing the Daily Show from his apartment and holy shit why is it that this is what makes me more anxious than literally anything else?
-
Mar 22, 2020, 6:40 PM -04:00 I cannot imagine what it would be like to self-quarantine without the Internet. Or maybe I just don't want to.
-
Mar 14, 2020, 5:55 PM -04:00 Not crowded at Canadian Tire today. Lacking subtext, I have to say I don't hate it.

Mar 13, 2020, 10:50 PM -04:00 I think I'm more afraid of societal breakdown then I am of actually getting infected with the Corona virus.
