I bought a bottle of advocaat and I'm not sure why, as the concept of egg liqueur is suddenly very unappealing. I haven't even tried it yet.

Advocaat sounds more like an unholy hybrid of feline and avocado than say, eggnog but not really

Would you be inclined to say... Eggnot?

And "Advokat" is Norwegian for lawyer, with similar analogs in a number of languages. Presumably that's the Dutch interpretation as well. No idea what the relation to lawyers is here... Maybe because they end up with egg on their face?

In a tangentially related vibe, I've had an avocado milkshake before. It was... actually really good.

Best served with a whiff of sweet whipped cream on top. It's kinda an old lady's (dessert) drink though.

Went to a job interview.
I know I just got a new one, but they called me with one I was too interested not to go to.

Its above my current level, but below it in terms of quality.  IDK, do I go after the technically better but probably lower-quality job or stick to the higher quality workplace with the lower title?
Depends on what you want more I guess.

You know, supposedly DuckDuckGo does not track anything you do, nor use targeted ads.
If so, how do they make money?

Non-targeted advertising is a thing, and indeed used to be the standard. They might use keywords from your search for a here-and-now targeted ad, but won't store that data for later use. They also have some affiliate deals with Amazon etc. that earn them a cut when a customer buys something they found using the search engine.

For those of you who don't know, I've been working in an op-shop for some time now. Plenty of WTFs occur over various shenanigans that take place, be it the oddball customers or the weird and sometimes terrible items we get donated. But this post isn't about those.

Yesterday I bought a bed (well, I paid for it the day before, but a friend with a ute helped me deliver it yesterday) from the shop, along with a mattress (actually how cheap the whole lot ended up being is a WTF in itself - just 40 bucks!), and after assembling it and acquiring a cheap-but-new bedsheet last night I finally decided to give it a whirl. It was long before my bedtime but it was pretty damn cold.
Unsurprisingly, my tired arse quickly fell asleep, despite leaving my light on to read by, and I slept for probably a good eight hours or more.

Here, though, is the WTF: most of those hours seemed to be spent dreaming about working in the same place I bought it from. Complete with, as far as I can remember, all the usual trials and tribulations involved. I feel like I've put in a whole damn shift! ^~^;

Tl;dr: bought a bed from the op-shop at which I work, slept on it and dreamt pretty much a whole shift of work.


...I just woke up, so am being super rambly, hence the tl;dr.

In a tangentially related vibe, I've had an avocado milkshake before. It was... actually really good.
Actually? Actually?
That sounds goddamn delicious.


Edit: this still beats sleeping on the floor tho.
