Me too, Hil. Some Tuesdays, The Office repeats seem like a less...fraught choice. Although I do like TGW...that "family starting over" thing hits home, sometimes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I got to tell the two developers in the meeting today that they were engaging in a "geek spiral." I felt all Eliot for a second. Leverage jokes, party of one...

Interesting graphic, showing the US nutritional recommendations compared to subsidies. [link] (Basically, recommendations are to eat mostly grains, fruits, and vegetables. Subsidies go almost entirely to meat and dairy, some to grains, and almost nothing to fruits and vegetables.) There's also a chart showing how prices of different foods have changed since 1978 -- soda and meat have consistently gone down, fresh produce has consistently gone up.

Busted again for doodling during meetings. But I have an awful "Carry On My Wayward Son" earworm, and I thought drawing Winchesters would at least get the stupid look off my face.
If it helps, I am drinking a beer and, well, reading buffistas on my current conference call. Go team WFH!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

So he's trying to put the kibosh on those "Ticklepocalypse" rumours?
