Yesterday I made a frittata with onions, carrot, ham (from Christmas, diced and frozen), kale that I grew myself, cheese and eggs from my family's chickens. I don't mean to brag but it was outstanding, and big enough that I had it again for dinner tonight. It was maybe a bit dense because I used too small of a bowl to properly whisk the eggs but it was still great.

But if I had to make something else it would probably be a chicken, veg and lentils soup. I generally keep 6mo worth of food in either chest freezer or pantry shelf stable, and quite a wide variety so I generally have a pretty wide choice of what to eat. I haven't been to the supermarket in almost 2 weeks, and I've almost run out of fresh veg, but I have a lot frozen so I'll be fine for another week at least.

Gosh if it's so cold why didn't they just go inside their homes and turn the electric heater on, oh right.

Jervise Bay Territory?

If Tacos, burritos and quesadillas had Americanized names, what would they be?

I would just do my job extraordinarily poorly and dox everything and everyone I worked with.

Blast from the past

I'm not really that smart when it comes to protocols but I would go to Stanford University and guard the IT cabinet and tell Aaron Schwarz to stay the fuck out and go do something else.

I can smell this picture

No, it's the opposite of discrete.

This club does not have upgradeable, replaceable parts.

Then do as much estrogens as you can.

Everybody else gets wingless bones

When you do, just tell me what drug it says to inject into which vein.

This is why I never used Ubuntu.

This is like movie companies saying that me pirating a movie cost them money.

Absence of a free thing isn't going to magic some money into my wallet with which to buy your thing, I'm still broke AF.

Maybe the lost photos are in Zerodrive

Each finger is divided into 3 parts, tip, middle and base. You use your thumb on the same hand to count the finger part by touching it. Index tip is 1, middle finger tip is 4, ring middle is 8, pinkie base is 12.

So using just one hand, you could keep count of say, bags of wheat that you're handing to your customers with the other hand.

Now bring your other hand into play, and you curl one finger into your fist each time you reach 12 on the other hand. 4 fingers plus the thumb is 5, 5*12 is 60.

In theory you could go higher using finger segments on both hands, but the Babylonians liked the number 60, it had a lot of factors. Divides without remainders by 2, 3, 4 5, 6, 10, 12. That's where we get 12 hour clocks from. 6*60=360, we get degrees of a circle. I could go on. 60 is just a really great number.

Eye of Horus fractions are another really cool way to represent mathematical concepts in a single compact glyph.
