Welcome. I got my Punisher shirt on right now so I enjoy your handle.

Great shot! :D

Thunder comes in loud short waves. Sounds kind of like the world's biggest freight train. Wind is constant and loud too. I've been through more hurricanes than tornados but this wasn't my first one. My whole family comes from Arkansas so we know exactly what to do during a storm.

Got the warning about 15 minutes beforehand on my phone. It woke me up. It's best not to get into a car during a tornado. You're safer where I was in the hallway with as many walls as possible away from the outside.

That's a beautiful picture. Thank you. :D

Nah. I was sitting in the hallway checking the news on my phone the whole time. Roommate went outside but I think he's a crazy bastard for doing so. #nsfw

A tornado just passed me by within a quarter of a mile. No damage but nothing gets the heart pounding like uncertain death to wake you up.

Potatoes can be dangerous in prides. Be careful out there.

Clearly a Migratory Brown Yam. Rare to see them this far south this time of year.

Breakfast. Potato slices fried in coconut oil and sauteed peppers incorporated with scrambled eggs with a little sriracha on top.

A lot of things happen due to random chance and snowball. If you're a Determinist you believe everything happens that way. We can analyze the past to an infinitesimal degree but it's best to live in the present with hope for the future. The future will be better.

Thank you for the enso @arf. I wish it was under better circumstances. I looked at pictures of the damage this morning and considering the size of the blaze it was pretty minimal. The bell towers are intact. There is a small hole in the main chapel but not completely caved in.

It will be rebuilt. Monuments tend to last. It's just a loss of the old and the replica will not have the same charm for hundreds of years.

Nope. Another sad day. https://twitter.com/patrickgaley/status/1117848909877895171

Notre Dame is on fire.

On one hand you have memory which is inceptable to falsehoods that pervert the meaning. On the other hand you have projection which is wishful thinking combined with anxiety. The only thing you can be sure of is right here and right now.

Feels good to be home.

We saw my aunt. ETA for her getting out of the hospital is Monday. She's doing better.

I saw a wild turkey today funny enough.

At my Nana's with my mom. Aunt is in the hospital so we're visiting tomorrow. Just killing time until dinner.

Is Finland's national border the Finnish Line?

You guys tattooed those masks on your faces?

No prob. I hope you bring some interesting topics of conversation to the platform.

#politics This is a sad day.

So what you're saying is that there's hot blonds on the moon and we need to go to the moon with our lambos to get to them?

metamask seems to be working for me too.

Thank you for the enso @arf.

Peepeth is a collection of friendly, intelligent, thoughtful people. When I got up just now I thought to myself when I logged online where should I go to start my day most positively and the answer was peepeth. That's why I peep.

Sunday is a rest day. I spent it with my mom celebrating her birthday as that's tomorrow.

I always wanted that car growing up. My family didn't have a lot of money and I was more focused on what video games we could get our hands on. Still if I saw that remote controlled car for sale now I'd probably buy it.

I've never been big on remote controls. Probably watching Adult Swim with my friends 10 years ago or so.

Thank you for the Enso @auryn

Welcome. :D I'm always down to talk cheese.

Is it weird I find succulents kind of cute? Not pretty like a rose which I have a ton of but cute like a small animal. I should get some succulents for my house plants.

Those plants look succulent. :D

Tribalism even when its detrimental.

With the deceit part it's pretty simple. As a species our brains are broken to get pleasure from deceiving others. It's called deceiver's delight. People smile when they lie for that reason. It's like a cookie. And like a cookie you have to many of them and there are consequences

Accordion is one of the nicest instruments to listen to. It's like a piano and a woodwind combined.

The sky here in Atlanta right now.

Lunch today. My cover of dynamite scallops. Patagonia scallops covered in a sauce of homemade mayo, masago, and sriracha blended together, then mixed with crab meat, roasted sesame seeds, and cream cheese, baked at 350 degrees for about an hour stirring every 20 minutes.

I just had a wave of nostalgia. I want to watch Short Circuit 2 and see if in today's era of AI, cryptocurrency, and robots it holds up.

Last of my dental work done. My pup is feeling bad. Bought some Carolina Reaper seeds to grow some of the hottest peppers in the world. Might make a video trying a Black Reaper chocolate bar for prostate cancer. That's the news on my end.

I'm using the sous vide almost everyday for lunch. It's become part of my morning routine to take a bag out of the freezer and throw it in the sous vide container and just turn it on. When they say it cooks it at the perfect temperature it really does and comes out perfect.

A little but I used to have a big old viking beard for a long time while I was growing my head hair for 3 and a half years to donate to charity. This is nothing compared to that.

Did my Monday lift and ate some sous vide cooked chicken tenderloins. Relaxing and talking to people online at the moment.

That's a very Japanese viewpoint. They have an entire philosophy called Wabisabi that takes that as its central tenet. I find that imperfections should be appreciated at least artistically but don't discount efficiency in practical matters.

I wouldn't be so sure. The American government actually runs red vs blue war games and revolt is the focus. The government loses every time mainly do to subversive forces in their own military. Hard to keep a military when you're forcing them to kill their neighbors. #politics

It's free on kindle unlimited. It's also very short. I read it in an hour.
