Monday: Three things


  1. So the pope resigned?  America's last bastion of accurate journalism covers the facts.
  2. Kim Jong-Un got a fade?  Really?  That's kind of an outdated haircut.  Plus, why have so many chairs if you're not going to let anyone sit down.  You're just a jerk.
  3. That damn paper finally got submitted.  Now to navigate the fun of angry reviewers, rewrites, and eventually getting to the last step: posting to astro-ph.  Because, let's be honest here: no one cares about the article once it's accepted and you can post it to astro-ph.  Magic pixies take care of it, and ensure that it gets onto ADS and then into the paper version that sits in a library forever.
Last week, I saw this, and decided to try and recreate it in more of a salad style than the appetizer style the original seemed to be.  Scallops, black forest bacon (which is nearly candied already), arugula, tomato, plus a quick sauce of sriracha, dijon, maple syrup, and bacon grease.  Everything worked well except the scallops.  They cooled off in the salad, and lukewarm scallop turns out to be a bit less than tasty.  Bacon's good, though.  Om nom bacon.  BLTA's tomorrow, I think.  Since they don't sell fucking paczkis here, at least.

Penguin traffic.
  • I think this is pretty much the reason you'd bribe politicians, isn't it?
  • Dog vs. Turtle.
  • Oshawott!
  • I think the main point to remember is that some people are terrified that we are moments away from a sudden collapse of civilization, and only they will be able to rebuild society afterwards.  I don't really know of a good way to convince these people that they're deluded.  I suspect mentioning how well civilization seems to be doing would just reaffirm to them how bad things will be when it all falls apart.
  • I like how the guy in the comments claiming this is a fake study is basing his point on "second hand smoking isn't bad, and in fact might be healthy."  That's totally why I cough when people are smoking nearby.  It's the way my body enhealthifies.
