Not the answer I expected but I respect your oatmeal take. I disagree but I respect it

Catch up on Last Week Tonight from Sunday. Jelle's is hitting the mainstream. https://wgntv.com/sports/jelles-marble-runs-races-into-mainstream/

Honey Bunches of Oats would be the greatest cereal if they didn't break up into way-too-tiny pieces about 40% of the way through the box. That shortcoming is like the Charles Barkley three point shot of cereals.

Dan Szymborski

You know what cereal amuses me?

Rice Krispies.

If you grind up a box of Rice Krispies in a food processor, it becomes like two tablespoons of powder.

The only food more fraudulent is lettuce!

Where ten pounds of spinach reduces into one serving in 45 seconds on the stove.

err spinach

12:43

but spinach in that sentence

I've played Stellaris. It was my first Paradox game besides Cities (which I only have because SimCity started to suck), I lasted 20 minutes, and it turned me off all Paradox forever. So...that wasn't ideal for them.

Dan Szymborski

12:43

Cities is terrific!

Sorry about your Paradox experience. What was it that you didn't like?

Dbo

12:43

Rice Krispie Cereal was the best though!

Other second division desserts for me include baklava and, yes I'll say it, BROWNIES.

Dan Szymborski

12:43

I love baklava

Bailey

Do you think they’ll still televise KBO when MLB starts?

Dan Szymborski

12:43

I hope so.

Numpty

12:44

Under what circumstances have you processed Rice Krispies?

Dan Szymborski

12:44

I thought I had panko and I did not.

This one time

When they designed Stellaris' tutorial, they didn't imagine it would be anyone's first Paradox grand strat.

Dan Szymborski

12:44

Crusader Kings II probably simpler.

I'd definitely try CKII before EU

Moe

12:44

What will players do without sunflower seeds?? Spitting shells is probably a no-no.

Dan Szymborski

12:44

bb gun fights

Dbo

12:44

Dessert is definitely at the bottom of courses, unless you include salad/soup course

hscer

12:44

at least Rice Krispies still roughly approximate the volume of a grain of rice for about 80-90% of the way

then they should have made CK2 their free-for-a-weekend game!

Read Smurfette's wiki........yiiiiiiiiiiiiiikes

hscer

12:45

Smurfette on Wikipedia: "This article possibly contains original research. (June 2009)"

Cat update please

Dan Szymborski

12:45

It's above

One of the difficult things about grocery shopping online during all this is trying to discern appropriate produce weights. Do you know how little 1 lb of green beans is?

Dan Szymborski

12:45

OH GOD I HAVE ANSWERED EVERY QUESTION

hscer

12:46

oh no what do we do now

Dan Szymborski

12:46

Anyone have any poppers?

hscer

12:46

besides...end the chat, which seems too reasonable a course

Sam

12:46

What's on tap for tomorrow's MLB the Show stream?

Dan Szymborski

12:46

Haven't looked at the games yet!
