Of course! How could I forget Thai curry? Sometimes with tofu, sometimes just vegetables. Fresh rolls with plum sauce, too.

I do a awesome bean dish stew thingie. Take soem vegan miso, miso ginger, etc type broth, and cooki Adzuki beans with it. Not water, but the broth. As the beans get close to done, add onions, other veggies, fresh ginger or whatever other spices and herbs you want. Get things cooked, might need a bit more broth or water, and then use a slotted spoon to serve. I tend to put some shredded cheese over top which makes it vegetarian, and you can always add some meat to make it neither. But it's a very hearty, tasty, pretty healthy meal. Especially on a cold winter evening.
Deborah Madison has a squash, pepper, and hominy stew that is really good
Like a bunch of other people have said, udon or soba with ginger scallion sauce and greens.
I picked up a vegan Chinese cookbook a little while ago, there's some decent eggplant recipes in there.
Some jerk is still setting off fireworks on July 9. It's done! They almost set fire to my Xmas decorations. 
Why wait until you retire? Use it to signal the start and end of your work day. Or your exercise sessions, or finishing a beer. The possibilities are endless!
You'll need a couple of English maids to run around and hold the crockery ...
My wife nixed that a long time ago. I've now got only a little over twenty years left in my long-term plan to wear her down. That reminds me, it's time to update the subliminal screen saver and mention how nice it'd be to have creative retirement options for our oven because of the funny mechanical noise its clock makes.
Ahahahahahahaha.

The Satanic Temple is absolute proof that D&D should allow the alignments of "Lawful Chaotic" and "Evil Good".
I dunno... causing mischief via the very laws that are enacted sounds pretty chaotic to me...
Admiral Boom ... one of the character gems of that story.
Gotta keep the impressions up for advertisement revenue somehow.
How could you tell from when it was overrun with shit take 50 cent workers, or honest shit takes from assholes?
Today I learned about daguerreotypes. Which are very cool.

Early photography always piques my interest. And the fact that we have a photograph of late life John Quincy Adams? Or Arthur Wellesley a few years before he passed, who won at Waterloo against some Corsican?
Fascinating stuff. Just fascinating.

When I was big into photography I briefly thought about trying to make my own plates and such, but that quickly went by the wayside when I realized how much work would go into it and I just didn't have the time or want to put that much effort into it.Today I learned about daguerreotypes. Which are very cool.

I was looking at it and thought this would be a neat hobby.
And then I got to the part with the Mercury vapor and decided oh FUCK no! I’ll look at the results instead and go, “Wow, that’s neat!”
Well, I wasn't even thinking an actual daguerreotypes, more of a modern implementation of a few types past that, various wet plate formulations. Still on metal or glass plates though.
I had an advanced photography class in high school where we had to spread our own emulsion and use the result in a pinhole camera that we built. I loved B&W darkroom work. Color was ok, but a little too fiddly for much fun in my opinion. I also won't characterize my wet photography skills as obsolete because not that long ago I [professional life redacted] with holographic film.
I've signed out of Instagram yesterday, and I plan on signing out of reddit tomorrow. That will last until November, if not longer. I'm a bit anxious about it because both of those have been a big part of my life for awhile. It will be a drastic change for me.
I'm on there from time to time, but the entire point of this is to break my addiction with being behind a screen all day long.
That's a plot point in Pynchon's "Against the Day." - photography will fuck you up.

Close call between two planes at Syracuse NY. An American Airlines regional jet attempting to land and a Delta plane on takeoff came within 800ish feet of each other.

How does one become certified as a Satanic Chaplain? I'll need to study up on my infernal teachings.
Not enough

in the subject line, obviously fakeI'll never ask for that five bucks back if you pay me one dollar a week for the rest of your life.
So... an idea has been implanted in my head. Starting up a dial-up ISP for all the retrocomputing nerds out there. Between crap I've got floating around and a few eBay purchases I'm actually fairly certain I could make it work.
