Rafael “Ted” Cruz, son of the Zodiac Killer, alive and providing support for Russia

FWIW Alton Brown’s chocolate tofu pie is utterly fantastic. Not relevant for this challenge, but for other people going “ewww tofuuu”

Yeah, keep the damn slide-over/side-by-side. There are people who want windows. It terribly interested, personally.

Let me speak slowly, tovarisch. The only reason it’s a “proxy war” is because Russia invaded Ukraine and seized land. Russia leaves, no more war.

As a dev with several close friends who have combined decades of game development - you’re not missing out much. The pay isn’t as good as it needs to be for that amount of crunch, the big companies have so many petty squabbles and politics, and it’s a good road to burn-out. The engines have gotten good enough that making games is a matter of spending the time at night/weekends. Not glamorous, but can be fun and rewarding, even if you never ship.

:) I’m in Texas and can get Dole Whip - past me is wondering why I’m not eating it Right The F Now?!!

For what it’s worth, something has changed in the past couple of years. I’ve now seen Dole Whip at Costco, and I know that the Hawaiian Brothers restaurant chain (fast casual Hawaiian, pretty decent overall) usually has two flavors of Dole Whip and it’s pretty spot on.

Now I want some Dole Whip. :(

The first time I saw them live, my jaw dropped when they pulled off the opening moments of “astral body“ perfectly, live.

Not universally, but quite a bit of their albums reminds me of Dream Theater, with its everybody-play-the-arpeggios simultaneously, but with some dude screaming over it. I got used to LaBrie live, so this isn’t a step down. (but then there’s the occasional ragtime piano for no real reason).

The animatronics seem a bit off. How’s its rendition of the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room song?

Chain Sling kicks so hard.
