first tragedy of El Niño 2026

A large kale plant, approximately 7.5 feet tall, is held up by a man in a blue raincoat. He also holds an umbrella. They are in a garden. It is raining. His boots are dirty and his pants are wet at the ankles.
and I don't mean my fashion sense.
Reporting in from the edge of the Pacific: this morning's wind and rain conspired to topple my beloved top-heavy Kale tree and so I headed out in the gale to chop it before it molested the chard and spinach. I am just under 6 feet tall for scale. At this point (it is/was maybe two years old) we weren't even eating the upper leaves, letting the birds have at those, and just snacking on the mid-stalk "baby kale" greens. I made filling for many rounds of my famous knishes from this plant.

image from the TV show "The Odd Couple." Felix Unger attempts to get in a taxi while bent over with a throw-out back.
On November 13, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence; that request came from his wife. Deep down, he knew she was right, but he also knew that some day he would return to her. With nowhere else to go, he appeared at the home of his childhood friend, Oscar Madison. Several years earlier, Madison's wife had thrown him out, requesting that he never return. Can two divorced men share an apartment without driving each other crazy?

I can hear him clearing his sinuses.
@jpoulos that sinus clearing scene from the film kills me. As soon as I saw "Felix Unger" that's the first thing I thought of.

'Remembrance' Transgender Awareness bass strings
alt text
Close-up photo of a few dozen strings for bass guitar. They look like lumpy wires shrink-wrapped in red, pink and light blue ribbons.
I legitimately like these... don't have a use for them, though. LaBella flats aren't my thing (too thuddy and high-tension) and I don't keep enough basses around to have one just for experimenting on.
They look amazing close-up like this. From the audience they probably look more like a slightly tinted nickel color.

I don’t use those strings either, but it’s a cool project
And they went fast - when I loaded the page it said 18 sets left, but when I added it to the cart they were sold out. (was going to buy a set for my bass playing kid)
@wjcstp Weird. Looks like 5-string sets are still purchasable.

good news, guys, i found some extra storage

atop a wall-mounted steel storage shelf, a plastic-wrapped box of 100 memorex branded IBM-compatible diskettes sits unused. next to it is a bowl. the yellow box holding the red diskettes features the memorex logo, as well as the text "formatted IBM & compatible" to the left, and a larger "100 IBM DISKETTES | Lifetime Warranty" to the center and right.
walking past a cubicle someone recently abandoned (thankfully a switch to WFH, not a layoff/firing) and noticed this absolutely pristine box of high density diskettes. cackling at the thought of how long these must have just been sitting here.

Photo of a wall inside the Poetry Lounge in Millvale, PA with wallpaper that features old comic book covers, many with Jack Kirby art. There's also a framed print with the phrase "if you're homophobic get the fuck out of my house."
The wallpaper in the Poetry Lounge bathroom seemed perfect for #kirbythursday. Took the pic last week when my brother-in-law's band played at the bar in Millvale, PA.

Jar of pickled dailon
I have been frustrated by being unable to find pickled daikon that doesn't have sucralose and/or aspartame (and even more bullshit). So decided to make it.
I bought a glass jar with a weight and a lid and used a minimal recipe. Great! But before it had even finished, the fridge started stinking. By day three, the whole house smelled of it. It was very delicious though. The next batch, we tried putting a bowl of baking soda next to it. No luck.
I looked up a ton of fridge deodorizers and was about to buy one when I realized I had charcoal sheets for an air purifier we run in the basement. Maybe I could put the jar in a bigger jar vented through charcoal? Then I realized the solution, replace the jar lid with a 3D printed lid that would hold a couple layers of charcoal. A few of hours of design and printing and TADA!
And it works, though I am planning improvements. I also am considering covering the plastic with food safe epoxy in order to keep it from getting bacteria and gunk.
The recipe involved white and purple daikon, salt, kombu, bonito, mirin, and rice vinegar.

favorite record label pack-in of late: guitar picks!?!??
alt text
square photo: closeup of a rather wrinkly palm, in which a pearly guitar pick sits, the pick has the stylized "suicicide squeeze" record label logo and "30" printed on it.
unpacking an order from suicide squeeze records last night, i was delighted to see this guitar pick fall out with a handful of stickers.
i guess they are doing a few fun things to celebrate their 30th anniversary, so in addition to lovely guitar picks, they're also printing "trading cards" of bands in their roster. (see: https://www.instagram.com/p...)
(by the way, the record being unpacked, which i'll have to upload pics of later, was chastity belt's new album "all my friends": https://chastity-belt.bandcamp.com/album...)
