That's the (official) reason cosmonauts carry guns - in case they land in the wilderness and have to fend for themselves. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/23131359/ns/technology_...

Bought two cans of Pillsbury buttermilk biscuits (flaky layers, IIRC) for Christmas Dinner; they both popped. I made my mom open them. Because...well... <img src="http://www.hungryrunnergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/92816442289959123_Xnx9BeLZ_c.jpg">

My workload varies without regard to the calendar. Fortunately, right now, things are slow. I suspect this means everything will explode next week.

I crochet, occasionally (read: around the holidays) kind of obsessively. All I really ever want is to know that people appreciate the things I make - I love to see pictures of my stuff in action. It's the only thing I ask for when I give away my work. Never happens.

Atomic Toasters : User Input: Ignore The Man Behind The Curtain

Fri, 15 Nov 2013 20:39:08 +0000

It's not tech, I know, but...Disneyland/world. I don't want to know about all the craziness that goes on in the secret cast-members-only sections of the park, or the tunnels, or whatever. I just want to enjoy my time at the happiest place on earth. Unfortunately, I'm observant and curious, soo...

Well, see, it turns out I don't know anyone who gives two sh*ts about Halloween, which really sucks, because it's a holiday I happen to love. I think Halloween is for kids younger than 12 and adults over 25.
