Notes

I feel like a lot of Italian cuisine is basically a competition over which dish has the highest (tastiness / # of ingredients) ratio.

Rice pudding ice cream is a thing? I....want some. Like, right now.

"A lot of problems would have been solved in the old west if they simply built towns big enough for two people"

I think fresh cheese curds might be the main reason to live in Quebec.

I'm sorry everyone, but two spaces is not enough indentation.

Does anyone else refer to the free coffee in their office as Soma?

Legion. You break my heart. #Legion

Hearing the Community theme song makes me happy.

I find it weird how the word "dump" does not sound appetizing, and yet the word "dumpling" does sound very appetizing despite sounding like it should mean "small dump"

Though I find the story of Scheherazade both gruesome and disturbing, I still love the narrative conceit that you can stop your looming execution if you can only just come up with a good enough cliffhanger.

Porgs look pretty tasty, to be honest.

I saw like one YouTube video on how to make the perfect omelette and now I'm obsessed with making the perfect omelette. The perfect omelette has Boursin in it, apparently. I can't say that I completely disagree.

Is there a word for the suspicion a programmer feels when something they wrote works on the first try?

Stuff Desmond learned: red vermouth is actually made (usually) from white wine and gets its color from other ingredients.

St Germain and Suze make a good combination.

Reading "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" feels like I'm reading, at time, a novelization of "The Revenge of the Sith"

I still have EDO RAM in little static protector baggies in my office cabinet.

Desmond's tasting notes for Strega: a less burny version of Chartreuse.

God deliver me from Perl

If you have functions with shared data, then what you have a class, whether or not you choose to use the word.

Starting The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.  Wish me luck, everyone.

I cannot use Regina Spektor as background music.  Engages the brain way too much.

"Sleeping in Light" is a lovely turn of phrase.  And a lovely ending to Babylon 5.

Yes, it's a bit irrational to be mad at people who are 2500 years dead, but now I want to read The Iliad just to piss off Plato and Socrates

Surprise #1 while reading The Republic: Plato asserting, via Socrates, that the Iliad is unsuitable as literature in his ideal state.
