This is going to seem judgmental...

I've never personally seen a gaggle of 18-40-year-old star trek fans explaining unironically how the Borg did nothing wrong.

I donated regularly to Wikipedia and will again when they pull their heads out of their asses.

Oh, has he had a change of heart? A few months ago he was being dragged on mastodon for telling everyone to stop complaining about AI.

I never said we get what we think we're refusing to pay for, just that Americans think they can get something for nothing.

Yeah, I said Mule when I meant White Russian (with ice cream instead of cream). And they are weird but kind of OK with gin. Not normal by any means, but not (to me) horrible. But my taste buds are old and I've had COVID 3 times so YMMV.

This is a thing at my university (I work there). I talked to one of the library folks about it years ago. She explained that (a) they would like to keep way more of the books but there's not enough funding to have the space or staff for it--our school is in constant and recently much more intense financial crisis, laying off all kinds of people (except deans and provosts); (b) a lot of this stuff literally nobody wants, like 4th and 5th and 10th copies of mediocre textbooks rehashing the content done much better by other texts, and (c) yes, if I wanted to fill my car with books and rescue them I was welcome to do so.

This is what celebrity culture does to women.

With vodka it's very nearly a Moscow mule and would probably be great. IDK about the nutmeg, though.

Edit: Goddammit, I meant White Russian, not Moscow mule. :facepalm:

I've accidentally made Moscow mules using gin instead of vodka. It's weird but not awful. That's nearly what this recipe is. Just use espresso or espresso liqueur instead of doing all that coffee boiling.

Edit: I said Moscow Mule when I meant White Russian like 3 times in this thread. In my defense, I'm somewhat new to drinking.
