Co-signed on all of that up there.

In dentist chair waiting for a couple of small fillings. I'm holding off on the crown replacement for now. My wallet hurts too much, even with dental "insurance." Just need to breathe for a couple of months.

Also just got an estimate for cosmetic work on my pre-molar to pre-molar up-top teeth, and it was way more reasonable than I was expecting. Still need to budget it out, but... I think it'll be doable.

Good luck with dentistry!

Agree they need to standardize where to tap for tap to pay.

Going to have computer maintence done today--that ought to turn my frown upside down. As if. Count me in on the whole tapping thing, even if I'm not usually the one that does it.(Also, touchscreens really aren't easier for EVERYONE--ask me how. Sometimes I could kill Steve Jobs again for sticking me with that without an alternate. Even if he is the only tech overlord I'd have a smoothie with. Kind of ripped some guy for being all "Well, actually, there is a lot of healthcare fraud," but, since he was a stranger, I held off on the "Regulating The Poor" monologue. This time.(it won't be fully sad if I lose track of Facebook, which was, like almost everything in my adult life, supposed to be fun and ended up "demented and sad, but social."

House passed vote to release Epstein files and Thune says the Senate will vote on it.

Could be happening really quick. Merry Fucking Xmas.

Already passed unanimously! Wow

Let's say the chance of me, every single time, tapping and clicking exactly where I should is approximately the same as us seeing Epstein files that haven't been thoroughly scrubbed and rewritten.

It seems silly to me when I am logging into my work email account on my phone and the verification thingy sends a notice to my phone to check that it's really me. The call is coming from inside the phone

Recursive! Phone-ception!

I am here to relay important news.

Last night I made the best hot chocolate I've had since I went to Paris in the 80s.

I started with Trader Joe's Sipping Chocolate, then added chocolate sorbet to sweeten it. Nutmeg and Cinnamon, obviously. One shot of brandy. But the kicker, the dealmaker was a dropper full of Cherry Bark Vanilla bitters from Bittercube. (Which was not bitter at all, but sweet and cherry with vanilla.)

As I am fully addicted to chocolate covered cherries, imagine that in hot drink form with a bracing shot of brandy. Dang, it was good!

I sipped it with wonder and satisfaction while I finally got around to watching Arcane which was really really good and gorgeously animated.

Then I looked up League of Legends and realized I don't know shit about gaming culture and esports, because it is SO farking big.

I WANTED to like it, but the plot was so sadistic I noped out after ep 3.

I am always happy to have a nice hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps but really my ideal drinking chocolate is as close as you can get to just a cup of melted dark chocolate and that is drinkable. Added spices, yes. Brandy and sorbet, though, I feel would just dilute without adding anything I want. But cherry bitters, that is intriguing!
