@ami_angelwings - The earliest (new) US Route Highways construction in the 1920s did not bank their curves because they figured that people would slow down to make the curve. This would prevent speeding.

What ended up haappening was people sped anyways and flew off the roads.

So no, Fancy Pants Meals this week. This last week was so hectic, I never actually ate any of the food I made for it! Since it's all in the freezer, I'm having it this week.

I'd like to say it saved me money, but...it sure didn't. But hey, it saved me cooking time today!

A nice cap to the end of a hectic week.

Presented without further comment.

Finally went to Triple XXX in Issaquah after many recommendations. Sadly have to say that I wish they'd put as much effort into their burgers as they did the decor.

While it's expensive, the portion sizes are mighty and the frosted mugs are a plus. But there's just not a lot of flavor in the burgers. And I mean, that's the reason I was there....

I really wish we'd gotten a Season 3 of The Big O.

So there's a soda showing up around here called "Starry" that's a lemon-lime drink. I would like to report that it is vile. That is all.

@spottyfox - They also showed up a few times on "Bloopers and Practical Jokes" in the late 80s, but the show they originated from "Almost Live!" was out of King 5 in Seattle, and ran for a few years on Comedy Central.

I have a lot of the 90s episodes of Almost Live since they re-ran them here locally for years and years after the show ended.

Remember that time when Medium Punch Chun-Li visited Iron Chef?

This brought back memories:

@Orb2069 - Heh, I checked out the ads cause I'd never seen one. They almost feel like MEDS FOR MEN.

I found a game I thought I'd lost since the late 90s! Apparently, I misfiled it in a driver directory, and couldn't remember the name of it.

Thankfully, it's moved to my DOS Virtual Machine and scheduled to be backed up to the proper spot at the end of the month.

This is what a $10,000 a dose medication looks like.

Dreamed that I was invited to a YouTube Influencer convention and went. I met the Try Guys and became instant friends. But then they stole a bunch of money, got caught, and I was guilty of association. They gave it back and we were let go after signing an NDA, but then they took my truck out while I wasn't looking and wrecked it.

And here I thought they were nice guys.

@irenes@mastodon.social - I'm talking less "actual" and more "personal fantasy of getting rid of all the people who are trying to make my life illegal." Tis a dream I have.

@irenes@mastodon.social - Frankly if it took away the people who talk about it, I'd likely be a lot happier.
