It tastes just fine, it just looked nothing like the photo in the recipe. I tried making the meringue with a hand beater, but that's kind of rough and I think a bit of egg yolk kept it from peaking properly. I wouldn't mind trying it again, maybe with oranges from our own trees next time.

It's Pi Day and remembered Silversong mention orange pies being a thing, and... well...

It makes me queasy to make fun of peoples' looks, but he does kind of look like someone who would kill an animal for trying to steal his food.

I dunno, the photos look kind of pretty with that color error.

In the year my son was born, we took an impulse detour to the Grand Canyon on our way to see Antelope Canyon. We didn't count on it to rain cats and dogs, but it worked out anyway; the canyon was shrouded in clouds like I'd never seen before, and it was downright magical. I think I did more than a f...

"I dunno, the Coast Guard?"

Just the whole thing with the Punisher skull on everything has been bugging me for a while now. Like, seeing them with a Thin Blue Line overlay is like... you know who Frank Castle was, right? A vigilante? Anti-hero? Perpetrator of extrajudicial killings? I'm not a law person, but I'm guessing it's ...

I'm still digesting that one. It's... pretty harrowing. Among other things, I wonder what they hope to accomplish by having such an austere work environment. Regulating snuff films and child porn is bad enough, but also making it a pressure cooker of micromanagement? Are they trying to drive people ...

I was starting to wonder about the name "THQ Nordic." Sounds a touch Aryan in this context. : suspiciousface:

Being bedridden with norovirus can lead you to some goofy places.

This administration has been so quotable (and in the worst way), but damn. Kinda sayin' the quiet part out loud again.

There was nothing left of The Boss's noble will in their struggle. All that remained was hatred - a passion to destroy one another.

(carries laptop to book/game shelf) Armored Cor- dangit Katama- of course Zone of the- okay Lexi: What about Dragon Quarter? Because that's definitely not the hottest. I loved it, but it killed the series. Yoji: Nope, Pacobird wrote it in. Lexi: ...huh. I think I'm unclear on what "hottest"...

"I wonder if my boy is doing okay with just grandma this afternoon..."

Meanwhile:

I'm told he poured the blue parts and helped make the streaks.

This time of year, I guess everyone learns how to wavedash.

Also, I need to learn how to properly display gifv images: https://i.imgur.com/K4lYvCM.gifv

ETA:

Shopper banned from Walmart for riding an electric cart while drinking wine from a Pringles can. Police tell the Times Record News that officers responded to a suspicious person call at about 9 a.m.[...] Speaking for myself, but a good crazy drunk person story is a refreshing change from the existe...

As I was watching this, a grown man fumbling to cut a piece of pizza with a pair of tongs, I think I heard a tiny voice in my head whispering "We didn't land on the moon. We just aren't smart enough."

You've probably heard already, but Trump is having the Clemson University football team over to the White House for a championship celebration dinner, where they're serving... McDonald's and pizza, among others. The story earned the expected grief noises, but it took me like two days to realize &quo...
