Weather is absolutely freakin' GORGEOUS outside. Like, *perfect*.

And I'm stuck inside at a desk. 

Weather going over seventy (E: And it's over 80. Nevermind.) fills me with naught but dread. The helltimes are coming, and there's no longer the blessed sanity of the fifties and sixties between it and me.

Mm... definitely even with the pre-shredded stuff, some kinds of cheese (I've never really bothered to track which, but... yeah) will clump together after a while and sometimes solidify a bit, especially if it's being let just sit. Even with a good fridge. It's fairly trivial to mostly prevent or greatly extend the period before it starts doing that just by giving the bag a good shake every day or so, though.

Play a glutton. They are silly, silly things.

"There are serious fucking wars brewing"

Where exactly?

I must have stated them a number of times now. Please, go look back through the thread.

All the ones you brought up were pretty comfortably refuted, unfortunately. The NK thing is a overall non-issue and the more local stuff are all non-starters. If you want to look to other conflict areas, like the middle east, Africa, or South America, those are all either doing more or less business as usual (ME, Africa) or improving (SA). Invasion just isn't particularly worth it these days, especially of the larger powers, and by and large the chance of any genuinely major military conflict happening any time soon (and by soon, I mean in our lifetime, barring major ecological shifts or somethin.) is pretty darn small. It's just not really how things work anymore.

You can get away with invading Iraq or installing a puppet dictatorship in South America or whatever, or jumping on your neighboring banana republic, but trying to jack something like AUS just isn't going to happen. Too many people with too many guns, up to and including the nation being invaded, stand to lose too much to just sit back and let it happen. Large scale invasions are a non-thing at this point -- the advance of the military machine and the political state of the world has rendered them obsolete and unprofitable. War between and against large powers (and AUS is large enough to count, really.), to the extent that it exists, is fought through proxies and trade nowadays. Not ground wars and direct conflict, where it's pretty much impossible to come out ahead.

Anything big enough to shake things up to the point ground war or direct military conflict with the larger nations becomes an actual possibility is going to destabilize everything, to an extent you'd have plenty of time to prepare and react. The chance of blitzkrieg or something similar happening nowadays is functionally zero.

... I suddenly wonder if Ms. Paint's going to come out in a red dress. If Eight was powered by the green sun...

Not that I can recall if the red one actually does something. Probably will if it hasn't already. It'll make the story go faster!

Well, it'd be an amusing way of introducing the incredible delicacy that is astral monkey brain back into the market. You'd think the forces beyond the veil would have figured out to stop sending jumped up animals after we ate the last batch, really.

Link's Awakening. Was also Oracle of Seasons/Ages, which messed with time a bit, but the whale thing was pretty specifically LA, iirc.

E: It wasn't before LttP, though. Couple years after. Can check this out for a fairly nice timeline/list.

Milkshake consistency experimentation continues apace. Much closer now! Next time, probably a little more milk. Went too far in one direction, slightly.

... only problem is I have no straw. Ah well. Time to eat the milkshake with a spoon. Or wait for it to melt a bit, I guess...
