First off, I actually agree with you that strawberry is better, though for strawberry I usually use jam or preserves. I do like grape jelly fine though.

Second, I’ll use this opportunity to describe the best way to make a PB&J. You need three pieces of bread and a toaster. Toast one and only one piece of bread. PB goes on the untoasted, and J on both sides of the toast, which now goes in the middle. Adds texture without altering the flavor profile or making it even messier like potato chips, and it improves the bread-to-filling ratio. Using PB-only on the untoasted slices also makes for a moisture barrier to keep the J from soaking through.

No worries. The waters get muddied by members of the HoR often being addressed as Congresswoman/Congressman.

Congress = Senate + House of Representatives

Late to the game on this one, but Thomas "Chyrosran22" reviewed this board. I watched it a while ago, but IIRC, it boiled down to "pretty mediocre board, but fine, elevated by the keycaps."

3, but the pajamas erasure here is unfortunate.

Sorry, I've just seen this one often enough and seen the comments that I may have assumed too much. I'll take my downvotes.

I almost take that to mean a final season would have had them work through it and realize it was a terrible idea, probably within a few episodes.

I liked Mythic Quest, and I feel bad that it's remembered for a couple of experimental episodes that worked so well they made the main plot pale in comparison (and for toxic gamers thinking their preferred field of interest was going to get more accurate TV treatment than doctors, lawyers, etc.), but it was definitely on the downslope and I can't imagine we lost a ton with the cancellation.

Looks like Teenjus to me.

From a Doylist/marketing perspective, though, I honestly think most people gave the novel a chance because Andy Weir made a name for himself with The Martian. In Sci-Fi publishing, he's the brand, so the publishers can indulge a surprise plot point. For a mainstream movie, "from the author of that one Mars movie that didn't suck and did quite well ten years ago..." doesn't really move the needle, but "Ryan Gosling is a...

trailer spoilerfunny reluctant astronaut who meets a fuckin' alien"...
Well, that just might.

The basic argument being that, no, men are not being pushed out of the traditional publishing houses by "woke-ass DEI feminazis," but rather that the overall decline of publishing as a business, and particularly of serious literary publishing, has meant that people with lower cachet in the workforce (i.e. women) are the ones willing to do the work for less money, and also that modern opportunities tend to go to aspiring authors who are willing to build an audience on their own, generally online, and then take their brand to a publisher with a built in floor of book buyers. Again, the need for "hustle" and enduring public scrutiny and largely unpaid creative labor is more likely to be done by people who sense they have fewer options in the "traditional" business world.

The gruff but masculine "man of letters" who's too proud to promote himself is no longer able to bully his way into publishing houses by the sheer force of his brilliance and persistence (and contacts and privilege), so he ends up whining and letting his misogyny flag fly instead of burying it in subtext.

I messed up in a million ways, but I managed not to screw it up too badly to be happy with it. It used 35-year-old switches and keycaps. Case is dowel joints, an up-jumped rustic picture frame. This was also my first keyboard build with QMK firmware and then the VIAL config tool. Some lessons:

  • ALPS stabilizers are a pain.
  • Don't let sleepy English majors design PCBs after midnight. Seriously, the thing barely works for this layout, but should be slightly better for Cherry MX switches.
  • One is strangely zen when one accidentally deletes all the PCB design files for such a flawed PCB. Still have the fabrication Gerber, but with half a dozen errors that's very near to useless.
  • Don't be a coward with your woodworking. There is a bigger gap between case and keys than I'd like.
  • On the other hand, don't be stupid. The pecan inlay on the back may be there to cover up where I sliced right into the dowels joining the frame together.
  • Sandpaper and Danish Oil forgive many sins.

… especially if the neighborhood is filled with little shits with too many electrified toys.

EDIT: Okay, I'm convinced. Regular bikes would actually be a sensible cause here. Let me be a curmudgeon though.
