I feel like we've learned more about budgeting in this single month while building a computer than we did in years of trying to live on a budget

that feeling when you really want a hamburger but you have like no money until you get paid on friday

I'm glad that latest birdsite exodus happened, we've met a lot of neat people from it

today was a long day but now it is over and *flop*

I like how, by means of not reading the federated timeline, I have no idea what the current "discourse" is about and only know that it exists by seeing people complaining about it and/or offering support to people overwhelmed by it

@RhiaCat hi! I have no idea how meeting people works but you seem friendly

I was talking to someone about it yesterday but

Boron and vanadium are two of my favorite elements and everyone always seems to forget that they exist

confession: we forget people's pronouns a _lot_ and just fall back on generic "they". If this is a problem for anyone, please do let us know and we'll make an extra effort to not do that

Huh, this game has a storyline or at least part of one about the evils of capitalism and especially land ownership

randomly remembered a single detail from a dream we had a couple days ago: Square Enix had announced a direct sequel to Final Fantasy X-2, for some ridiculous reason

apparently the original doom starts out on mars and then by the end of the game you're in hell

there's a trans metaphor in there somewhere, with going from mars to venus

(look if venus isn't hell i don't know what is)

oh, oops, I meant to make this public, not unlisted. I thikn boosting it will fix that?? maybe?? how does that work

tip: black pepper is a much better spice than you probably think. Get yourself a pepper grinder, even store-brand pepper you can usually buy in little plastic grinders that work perfectly acceptably.

The chemicals responsible for its flavor, piperine and chavicine, both evaporate very quickly, so freshly-ground black pepper has a much stronger and better taste than pepper that's already been ground into flakes

what if mastodon had a button on each post, separate from the fave button, that just let you tell someone "I read this, but I don't have anything more to add/don't know what to say/don't have time to write more/etc"

piperine

or capsaicin

hmm

both! *dumps red pepper and grinds black pepper onto its pasta*

also small. maybe a meter and a half tall or even less

I think there are two of me today. Both taurs, both leaning more theriomorphic than anthropomorphic. Still quilava as usual.

*beeps in stereo!*
