Calling all chefs/engineers! I make pancakes a few times a week and the viscosity of the batter is one of the most critical factors to get right if you want perfection. I’ve learned to eyeball it, but can’t really explain it to my daughter. Can you think of a simple viscosity test she could do with kitchen stuff to replicate the process?

Me: “That was cool!”
@mary: “Bye horny toad, hope you get laid!”
🤦‍♂️

We have a T-Rex in our museum…I think they might have found it somewhere in Australia…

Saltine Crackers = Underrated Snack

If you folks aren’t going on good walks everyday, you’re missing out. An hour or two a day will prevent/reverse many illnesses, both physical and mental.

I found the fairy princess Heidi Belle in the garden today.

Simple, but not easy.

360 photo orbs are neat. Is there an open standard format for these kinds of files?

"America sees the absurdities—she sees the kingdoms of Europe, disturbed by wrangling sectaries, or their commerce, population and improvements of every kind cramped and retarded, because the human mind like the body is fettered 'and bound fast by the chords of policy and superstition': She laughs at their folly and shuns their errors: She founds her empire upon the idea of universal toleration: She admits all religions into her bosom; She secures the sacred rights of every individual; and (astonishing absurdity to Europeans!) she sees a thousand discordant opinions live in the strictest harmony ... it will finally raise her to a pitch of greatness and lustre, before which the glory of ancient Greece and Rome shall dwindle to a point, and the splendor of modern Empires fade into obscurity."
- Noah Webster, 1781

Heidi started doing this today.

I believe.

@mary and I watched Flight of the Navigator last night. I loved that movie growing up and is is still good! Tonight we watched Life After the Navigator and it's about the life of the child actor after the film...People, don't treat your kids like adults, know where they are, and keep them as far away from addictive snares as possible. It was a sad story about Joey Cramer's fall through the cracks, but he has gotten up and we're rooting for him and everyone else in his shoes!

I swapped out Linux Mint for Devuan today on a couple of displays in the house. Mint was getting kinda bloated and I needed very few of the packages that I saw in updates. Not a fan of systemd either. Seriously though, I haven't missed fooling around with wifi drivers. Between those and a problem with the USB installer, I wasted more time than it was probably worth.
