Ordered in for dinner last night. Got a Caesar salad with fried capers for my son because he's on a big salad kick. Got angel hair pasta with garlic and oil for my daughter because she loves noodles. Also got meatballs to share and beef carpaccio and burrata salad for the missus and I. Now we're chilling on the back patio eating some homemade lemon and mango popsicles.

I left a citronella candle outside last night after using it, because the container radiates heat like nobody's business. This morning, I woke to find the container contained more Japanese beetles than candle, so into the trash it went. Strangely though, the beetles aren't that bad this year, but the earwigs are a different story.

Going to be making tacos for dinner. I currently have a huge chunk of beef breaking down in the pressure cooker and it should be ready in an hour or so.

Game has been rock solid for me and I haven't noticed any bugs but this second DLC has twice now had sections where I have to play other characters/groups. That is one of the things I hate the most in games so it's really dragging down my opinion on the whole thing.

No reason to expect a smart approach from Elon. I think his work in DOGE shows he doesn't understand the government beyond the subsidies he gets.

Did a grilled veggie salsa and burgers for the 4th. I also did baked beans but my family has something against beans, especially the ones I grew up with Made a Caesar salad and spaghetti with a garlic, anchovy, and caper sauce for lunch.

Drugmakers notch a $5 billion win in Republicans’ policy bill.

I didn't think they were going to be able to do much or that they'd be able to move Porter.

Yay, I can't wait for my taxes to go up again just like they did for Trump's last tax cut

I bought the second batch of DLCs for Rogue Trader

The reward for doing it earlier is less combat which isn't a benefit for me vs the profit factor from the other locations Just got to the Furibundus system and picked up the new overseer archetype as my second. I took the cyber raven because I can't ever not play a psyker. I'm also playing with a mod that adds an force lightning casters to the game and it's a bit overpowered even with the difficulty turned way up.

I haven't run into any issues yet but I just got to Rykad Minoris, which I always do last.

Grilled a whole rack of lamb and my wife and kids loved it. I don't like lamb so I didn't try it.

Started a new game with the new new DLC and just got to the Rykad system.

Rogue Trader DLC2

That should be fairly easy to understand. He posts policy, updates, and actionable items there along with his usual slop so people have to pay attention.

Tatum, Lillard, and Haliburton all tore their Achilles in the playoffs this year and all wear 0. Doesn't mean anything but what a coincidence.

I looked into getting a new Switch but the only place around here that is willing to sell it to me is Wallymart and they want 900 bucks in store or 750 to ship it to me. I think I'll pass. E: looks like the one being sold at my local store is also a side scalper and he got fired

I think you may be thinking of the day of the dead

By that logic no 4th of July for you either

Disagree since we collectively ended slavery as a nation and I think that it is important that everyone can take ownership of that. It's not a very well known holiday to be sure but it's definitely for everyone. Cinco de Mayo is bigger in the US than in Mexico but it's a celebration of the Mexican Army over France so that really makes no sense... but I'll take any extra days off.

I'm curious if they have another celebrity playing an exaggerated version of themselves in season 3 since they had Sting for season 1 and Amy Schumer for season 2. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

We started watching Only Murders in the Building a couple of weeks ago and are just about to start season 3.

I just hope @Katphood is okay
