They may not be the hot dessert item anymore, but I really like cupcakes
Same! And I love anything dulce de leche. Maybe I'll do some baking this weekend....
Jamie Lee Curtis is my new BFF.
Love that!
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Can he actually litigate if the race isn't close?
Well, he could try. He does have to come up with something other than "it was rigged" to get a case heard, and he will still have to bring cases in local jurisdictions. Bush v. Gore went through the Florida courts before heading to the Supreme Court. He can't challenge the whole outcome nationally.

Because books.
When I hear things like that, I think he is literally the bed bug infestation we will never be completely rid of.

Douglas Macarthur and George Patton?
OMG. I hate hearing about how retaking Mosul should be a surprise attack like it's some sort of fucking commando raid. The Iraqi army isn't going to be able to keep a major mobilization under the covers.

Anybody else use My Fitness Pal? I started using it to track my eating and exercise (once my knee heals up).

Yes, Gud, I have used it off and on for years. They have a great database of foods and exercises. I have never used the forums, don't know how useful those are. But the interface is good, and you can save regular meals for quick input.

Punishingly Intricate
Oh & lisah: where did Kiss&Makeup go?Across the street in the little shop space beneath Luigi's. It's a much more manageably sized, less rat invested space for her.

It's so infuriating. As in so many other areas, his ignorance really shows, and he's not getting called on it half enough. I'm going to go out on a limb and say I know way more about military history than Trump does, and I can hardly think of any examples of STRATEGIC surprise. Surprise is generally about TACTICS. Such exceptions as I can think of are mostly at the start of hostilities, and even then the signs are usually there if the about-to-be-attacked country isn't too deep in denial.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Princeton Consortium has HRC's win probability at 99%. [link] God, that is so beautiful. Even in the face of Trump whining and pre-claiming the results will be rigged and then potentially not accepting the results, that probability is so. fucking. BEAUTIFUL.

Epic, if you don't mind, how long did it take you to recover? I'm seeing estimates of at least 4 weeks (for endoscopic surgery), and that's reaaaalllly badly timed, with me just starting remote work.
