> I mean, they just put astronauts into orbit a minute ago. What’d you do today? Well, I'm currently unemployed, and my new job doesn't start for a few more weeks. So my accomplishments for today include: * I hung out with my kid before he went out to the school bus * I made the guacamole for tonight's dinner, because it benefits from sitting in the fridge for a few hours. * I partially caught up on today's new Crunchyroll episodes. But Konosuba season 3 just isn't amusing me the way the first two seasons did. * Played "Endless Space 2" and "Age of Darkness: Final Stand" for a while, because I'm short on sleep today and my brain wasn't good for much else. --- So, I didn't put anyone in orbit today, but I think I'm doing pretty okay, thank you :)

Which faction are you playing in Endless Space 2, and why is the only reasonable answer always Horatio?

  Humans / Zelevas, because I'm lazy and I play ES2 when I just want to zone out.

Nothing constructive to add here… just think it’s awesome you got to hang out with your kid and… I never knew that guac benefits from sitting in the fridge. I always thought it was the opposite.

As someone that always makes guacamole immediately before eating it - what do you say changes with the flavour profile by letting it sit?
- CoastalCoder 2y ago
  When I first make my guacamole, it often tastes too strongly of fruitiness (from the limes), salt, or garlic. Any/all of those seem to mellow out after a few hours in the fridge. For context, here's my recipe: 5 avocados, 3-4 limes, ~1 tsp of minced garlic, 1 tomato, a few dashes of cayenne, and salt (to taste).
