I bought a new refrigerator, and the first delivery attempt failed, and it had to get redelivered today. So I don't have any ice at home. So I went out searching for more ice.
The convenience store across the street: all out. QFC: had some but they were having a power outage and weren't letting people open the freezers. Safeway: doesn't carry it at all.
So I tried Saar's Discount Grocery, and I lucked out as I got there just as they got a new delivery of ice.
Dream (disturbing)
I had a dream that it was dark out, nobody knew what time it was, none of my devices could tell me...
so I checked YouTube, and there was a collaboration video from a couple of cooking channels where they were showing how to cook a ferret. And the ferret they started with had been flayed and gently roasted, but still alive, and lurching around, blind and in agony. And I tried reporting the video as animal cruelty but everyone called me a snowflake. And finally I saw that it was 10:50 AM.
So I shut down my computer and went outside, and it was dark because everything was on fire, everything was burning, the sky filled with smoke and fire. The streets were full of people stoking the flames and trying to trying to destroy what was left, and I took photos of it on my phone, and posted them on Instagram, and my mom replied saying it was such a shame and implied it was all my fault.
ah, evolution, apparently. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/08/mystery-solved-why-cats-eat-grass
haha wow they literally used a generic furnace filter as a prop, you just don't see that on Discovery
I'm finally spending more time with Star Trek: Enterprise and like... gosh, the stories were way more interesting than anything they did in Picard. Or even Discovery.
New Trek definitely is missing a lot of what makes Star Trek Star Trek.
Enterprise does suffer a lot from over-reliance on half-baked CG effects, but at least they're using it to tell stories, rather than just spectacle.
A great 6 minute rundown of Critical Race Theory and the 1619 project.
