A landscape photo of a frozen pond and its muddy shore. The forested far side of the pond is dimly visible through the fog.

cartoon film clip of Wile E. Coyote plunging earthward on a slab of orange rock, trying to shove a boulder off of it. The slab lands perched on another rock, turning both into a teetertotter, the boulder lands on one end, launching Mr. Coyote up to slam into an overhang, at which point he lands back on the teetertotter which then launches the boulder to land on his head.
and classical symphonic music

Four close-up pictures of a sliced-up brisket.
Continuation from here: https://mltshp.com/p/1RLRN
Woke up at 4 AM. Got the brisket on the smoker at 5. It stalled fairly early (145º-150º), but I smoked until noon, then wrapped them for three to four hours until they hit 203º, pulled them both, and popped them in a 150º oven until 6 PM and dinner time.
Turned out lovely! Thus concluded my first big packer brisket on the new smoker. It's way too much meat for the two of us, so were loading up our neighbors.

Three pictures - first is a full packet brisket, second is a brisket with the flat and point divided and seasoned, third is a charcoal chimney early in the morning, casting a glow.
My in-laws were visiting this weekend, and I realized I have never smoked anything for them. So I decided to buckle down and do a full brisket on the new smoker. Found a good deal at a Cash & Carry (5 bucks a pound!), so I got the smallest I could find (12 pounds) and trimmed it down. Ended up going the competition route and separating the flat and the point before seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic) just to save time on the smoke.

15 years. Metafilter loved that book so hard. So so so so hard. And the book is like what, 800 pages (looked it up, it's 480).
For years it bothered me so much, because I knew from hearing the main thrusts of the book and the reception of it that it had issues, but I had way too much going on to read it, write a treatise on it, and then defend that on Metafilter.
I came across a video on Youtube (not this one) called something like "Why white men conquered the world", clearly titled by what seems like a decent guy, as clickbait to get you to watch. Over 20 minutes, he then distills the major points of Diamond's book.
I had *feelings* about it and some specific points in mind, and then serendipitously those feelings showed up elsewhere today in regard to a different thing and so ultimately I looked for critiques of Diamond's book and found this, which is nice.
The part about why the book was so popular...chef's kiss...cause it says a lot.
It bothers me so much that so many things are completely wrong, but who has time to take someone else's argument it takes months to take in, go through it line by line and explain the issues, then put that out, and try to explain it.
And I say that because not only am I nowhere near the smartest person on this or any other site and definitely not metafilter, but that absolute fact means why cant the smart people see the obvious errors in pieces like this.
Long story short, men suck.
It's been 15 years so I suppose I should keep coming back to this post to discuss this, instead of dropping it here like the matter is finished.

I would say, though, humans of any gender, have the opportunity to suck, and frequently do, to gain personal advantage, even if for only a second, at the candy dish.
I'd like to watch this before I say anymore, but there's a direct road between Guns, Germs, & Steel and believing aliens built ancient civilizations.
You might also enjoy "Questioning Collapse," a book brought about SPECIFICALLY because anthropologists had to have a SPECIAL MEETING in 2006 to address just how WRONG the assertions in Collapse and Guns were, and how it was affecting their science: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

Two men walking in opposite directions pass each other on a sunny street in central London, with long shadows being cast down the street towards us. The man in the centre, who wants us to believe he is a punk rocker, is looking at the camera as if he thinks he is the reason for the picture.
Oh! Those shadows!

close up on a dinosaur head and neck with one white person on screen left side wearing white, with red hair holding their hand up, and I think Chris Pratt behind the dinosaur, holding its head as the dinosaur lays its head down on the grass and exhales.
the dinosaur's eye has been replaced with an animated googly eye that spins as the dino's head hits the ground.

years ago I worked on JW, and was working on this shot, so I had a really good matchmove of the eye. I created and animated a googly eye, stuck it on the dino, and put it in dailies as a joke comp.
anyway, someone reminded me of that, and while I don't have the joke comp, as personal images don't leave ILM's computer system, I did have a blu-ray Jurassic World, a non-commercial copy of nuke, and some free time this evening to recreate it from scratch.

I had a history of joke comps at ILM, like when I put a giant tin toy in to the middle of the fight between transformers in the forest in Transformers 2, or when I removed the refraction AOV from all the creatures in the saloon in Rango for a shot, making them look like zombies because it turned their eyes shiny black.
Assuming ILM keeps these, they must have a couple hours worth of these things from you and everybody else. It would be very cool of them to have an official blue-ray for-the-fans type compilation.
Thank you for sharing the results of your free time and recreating this. It out a little smile on my face this morning!
I probably should have done better on the fake glints on the googly eye, though, to make it look more plasticky
@cristin - once again, you bring absolute joy to my day at random. This is gold!

Left-pointing manicule with text above "THIS WAY FOR FUN"
if you like printing, can make it to the Scottish Borders, and manage to coincide with the incredibly rare times the shop is open, you should try going to Robert Smail's Printworks in Innerleithen.
This one one of several sheets in a thick scratchpad I got at the shop. The manicule is a large woodcut, and the type is hand set.

One of the last photos I got to take of my baby kitten.
Previously : https://mltshp.com/p/1RKG8
So, my kitten was having a lot of struggles the last couple of weeks and was not getting better as expected. His health and mobility were declining. We went to see the veterinarian again today and there were more tests, blood work, and exams. She referred us to a veterinarian that specialized in neurology to see if there was anything that would account for the symptoms that was not FIP.
Ultimately, the new tests, exam, and recent changes in his symptoms indicated an aggressive cancer and a grim diagnosis and no viable treatments. He was very humanely helped across the rainbow bridge cuddled in my arms this afternoon.
Me and five others in my family want to get sushi and eat tuna to celebrate the bravest cat I ever met.
I did the best I could for him and gave him the best life he could have had with the cards he was dealt.

Eat an extra tuna roll for me for him.

bless you for giving him a good and comfortable life. i'm sure he loved you for it.
and i feel where you're coming from; i've lost some cats far sooner than i thought i would have to because there simply wasn't anything else doctors could do. the right choice still doesn't feel good.
really sorry to hear you lost him. glad you could celebrate his life together at least

OH NO!
Oh, that poor baby. So valiant. I'm so sorry, that is so hard after everything you've and your kitty have done and gone through. So many hugs.
Thank you for sharing. It's small comfort, I know, but at least you know in your heart you did everything you could and made all the right decisions for him, including giving him peace when it was time. That's brave too, sweet friend.
Fucking cancer.

A heavy, rusty, iron railroad bridge stands against a blue, mostly cloudless sky. Sticking up from it is a railroad signal. Walking across the bridge is a small light-colored goat. Hanging beneath the bridge, sitting on a swing, is a heavy, black, horned figure with glowing green eyes. A blurry green treeline is visible below, in the background. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

I can literally replay the baud rate connect tones in my head, and most of all the full "spiral of death" sound. I can remember it better than I can remember the voices of people I loved long ago.
I hand-typed so many programs from the back pages of BYTE magazine, and at least one of them worked.
I have mourned the death of Amiga thrice, the death of OS/2 twice and the death of Newton OS once. I have seen the still births of BeOs, MagicHat, Bob and A/UX. I served bravely in the courts of ProDOS and GEOS. You have no further grief to bring unto me. I am a free knight now. Leave, or I shall POKE you again.
@jxyzn Easy now, save some clout for the rest of us plesae.
I have dragged my parent's very expensive CD player up the stairs to *the computer room* and plugged it into the family PC-XT running at 8mhz and ripped music to a wav file with my Soundblaster. I have filled a 20mb hard drive with 1 minute of uncompressed audio. I have been grounded by my parents for this crime.

The Soso, MS 2020 tornado: Roof off, some walls collapsed, windows blown out. . . . and yet the pound cake in its glass jar on the counter was completely untouched. Granted, it probably wasn't a F4 at the time it hit, but still: tornados are freaky, my dudes.
(Also surviving: the two residents of the house, who were in the only part of the house where the roof remained intact.)
