My most frequent breakfasts are just coffee, or 2 eggs over medium, some kind of meat (spam, bacon, sausage, or steak in that order of prevalence), and some kind of bread (toast, English muffin, biscuit) with coffee. Those options account for perhaps 85% of my breakfasts.

Sometimes (1-3 times per month?) I have cereal and milk. Very rarely, I’ll have fruit and salami.

During the summer, I sometimes substitute iced tea for coffee. During winter, I sometimes have leftovers from dinner the night before. Any time of year, if there’s leftover pizza, I’ll have that for breakfast, cold, with salt and red pepper flakes added.

About twice a year I pull out my waffle maker, and make waffles on a weekend. Every time I tell myself I should do it more often, but every time it seems to sate my craving for ~6 months.

I’ve been buying and ripping CDs since 2007. I average 8 per year, and it limits my music discovery speed a fair bit - but that’s OK.

When someone suggests a new song/band, I listen on YouTube/Vevo, and put up with the ad. It’s fine. It convinces me whether I want to buy their CD or not most of the time.

Do they get all my usernames, or just the one on Lemmy?

On the upside, I think this username wouldn’t be hard to spell out for people. There’s no downside, mine is a perfect username.

The average family size is shrinking. I’ve seen my neighbors stretch 55 gallons to 6 or even 7 weeks.

The times, they are a changin’…

That’s my favorite kind of conservation.

Vowels have low point values, so I would prioritize getting new tiles. It might be different if you could somehow play six or seven of these tiles, but I think 4 vowels left is still more than the optimal number.

You’re not showing the rest of the board, so of the letters visible, ‘oi’ on the beginning of oozed is the best I see.

“Aeon” or “iota” would be much better, if there’s a cooperative n or t.

My grandmother said that old is always 3 years away, but IMO, the end of being a “young woman” is somewhere around 32.

Do a whole lot of research, then take control of the president, and pardon people for a minute. As far as I’m aware, it takes effect as long as someone hears, or I write it down or something.

George HW Bush was the last one to leave office while the economy was doing well. It was going fine at the end of George W Bush’s first term, then the 2007 housing crash brought it down. Trump’s first term ended with the covid lockdowns severely harming the state of things. So… 3 Republican presidencies ago, but that’s a lot of years.

Ha! Unlike (some of) you plebs, I live in a very exclusive time zone with less than a billion people in it.

One time, I was shopping for a specific item. I couldn’t find it on ebay, Amazon, walmart or etsy. Then I went to some smaller retail site (they also didn’t have it), and an Amazon ad for that item popped up. I clicked the ad, and it took me to the item page.

Amazon search (at least at the time) was so ineffective that I couldn’t find it, while their ad data gathering was so complete they knew that I wanted that specific thing.

I counted twice. It didn’t match.

Cheddar saltine crackers. Premium made them, but I think it was only for a year or two.

That estimate is based on assuming that the ratio of matter to light output is the same between galaxies 10 billion years apart in age. The high light output of these young galaxies could also be supermassive stars that burn out very quickly, larger stars typically forming faster than smaller stars, or many other things.

Blindly assuming a linear relationship between two things, then extrapolating is how you get the Windows loading bar circa 2000.

Separately, but just as big a potential issue, the data itself may be incorrect. Previous galaxies measured at extreme redshift values were remeasured, and found to have less extreme values. This can be as simple as there aren’t that many photons from these galaxies reaching us, so a short measurement period might not be enough to get an accurate picture.

As the President and CEO of a fortune 500, and a neurosurgeon that does rocket surgery as a side project, there are many people relying on me to be an upstanding member of the community at all times.

In reality, most of the ways I misrepresent myself are to obscure my identity, and mostly it’s by leaving things out.

When we get to this Saturday, next Saturday moves a week beyond our grasp. In some sense, when we die, our own timeline ends, and we can finally arrive at next Saturday for the first time.

Because the longest lives are around 110 years, and children start speaking around 3, the furthest in the future “next Saturday” can be is abouy 107 years.

I appreciate numbers.

“You wouldn’t put on a tricorn hat, would you?”

I actually would, if I could find a nice one…

“…and leave your job to sail the seas?”

… That’s an option? I didn’t even consider-

“And you certainly wouldn’t drink rum, and fire cannons, and carry a saber and tell silly parrot related puns.”
