  • It’s my second week drinking that Four Sisters Donut Shop Blend from Grocery Outlet, and… It’s okay…

    It’s not completely awful, and it’s definitely functionally caffeinated, but without a paper filter it’s bitter.

    With a filter, it does have a sweetness and fruity acidity that’s nice.

    As if it’s made as a filter coffee, which sounds weird, but I suppose it must be possible.

    Speaking of paper filters, I started using a mesh filter in my aeropress, and… The result tastes very similar to my French press…

    I got a pack of two mesh filters: One 250 microns, the other 200 microns, and the 200 micron filter doesn’t let any fines through at all.

    I am alternating days between the two, and I have to say the paper filter in the Aeropress makes a huge improvement in smoothness and taste.






  • My advice on contouring makeup: don’t.

    It’s like one of those perspective illusion paintings. It only works when viewed from one direction, and looks somewhat unnatural when viewed from any other.

    I prefer just making my skin look less flawed with foundation, then following my natural blush areas, adding a little blush color to make the foundation look less pasty.

    p.s. Your nose looks fine! Don’t do a Michael Jackson! Don’t hate it!

    This is one of my favorite strips!

    But thinking about it, how much of his head is flesh?

    His face isn’t much bigger than normal.

    Unless his jawbone has a 1.5 foot chin, most of the head under his mouth is going to be skin and fat.

    And if his skull is normal sized, his neck bones must be extremely distended, and his neck muscles must be extremely strong to support the weight of the entire head.

    The strip is just better to contemplate as a fanciful idea and move on.

  • That’s got all kinds of disturbing implications.

    Clearly the toe went to market of its own free will, and left a note behind as a courtesy

    1. Selling something that has free will is slavery
    2. What are the legal implications of owning somebody else’s digits?
    3. Toes are courteous and have free will?
