Horchata is legitimately that good. I've never had it bottled, but it's relatively cheap and easy to make. If I had the fridge space I'd have two jugs going at all times.

If I caught a fish that fit exactly in the weird bricks on the sidewalk I'd brag about it too!

That's how I always imagine it when I read it too. Joel from Marvelous Ms Maisel says it almost exactly the same which just reinforced it.

Yeah, I've got mine in my phone as "Don't answer", but she changes numbers a lot and borrows phones so I still fall for it sometimes if I'm expecting an important call and have to answer unknown numbers.

I wasn't super impressed with last season. I'm only hanging in for Lee Pace. Sounds like he's still prevalent in this season, so I'll give it a shot.

Weird, I could have sworn I read this headline 30 years ago! And 20... and 10...

I saw a study once that you only need to take 20% of the cars off the road to cut congestion by half. So every person who takes public transit equates to more than one person off the road, for those still driving. Which is just to say these people should be extra grateful instead of constantly defunding it.

What a crazy headline if you know nothing about these projects.

People don't, but cops will.

I used to get this as a kid, but I haven't had it happen since. I feel like I could induce it, but it was very upsetting so I have not wanted to try. I had no idea it was an issue other people experienced.

 

Wanted a loaded hot dog but found out half way through we only had mini-dogs.

Mini hotdogs and cheddar cheese broiled on a hotdog bun. Loaded up with rice, broccoli, oyster sauce, and Sriracha.

Ended up being delicious. A real hotdog would have been better; the minis kept falling out or moving with each bite. I'd put the Sriracha under the rice next time. It mostly ended up smearing on my face.

I saw an article about keelhauling and realized I don't know much about pirates (those on the sea, not the internet) beyond what I've seen in movies. Tell me your most interesting pirate facts. Mythical or historical.

My son is obsessed with Mario LEGO and had his own little table in the corner of the LEGO room. It was overflowing and my wife hated how messy it looked. While she was away for a few days I made this.

Two partial sheets of 3/4" birch plywood with French cleats attached, painted white, were mounted on the walls. Then the desk just slots into the second-lowest cleat, using the bottom cleat as support.

As he grows we can raise the desk a couple times, eventually bringing it up to 29" from the ground which is about regular desk height.

I also made a few shelves and a box for him to organize with out of the plywood scrap.

He likes that he can rearrange his storage as he pleases. I made a couple more medium-sized shelves that aren't pictured, and I may someday make a corner triangular shelf for Bowser to sit on.
