Hmmmmm........how about we change the nominee from Harris to someone else just as the bots come back online. Only to do it again, and again, and again, only to last minute "SURPRISE MOTHER FUCKERS!!! IT WAS HARRIS THIS WHOLE TIME!!!"

There needs to be a new community of cats riding in the gondola of a G-Scale model train. I'd watch so many videos about that!

Of the newer trains in Japan, I like the gold-colored refresh of the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line with the 1000 Series.

Or Spacia X, the newest Limited Express train running between Asakusa and the mountains north of Kanto.

But as far as classic sets go, I absolutely love to see the various old (now retired) Express trains with bull noses and maroon & cream color schemes.

I'm here! Not going anywhere because this year has been kind of expensive. I just watched a video of a woman making mushroom soup inside a watermelon over a fire, and like, why?

I love that it's how soups and stews used to be made.

Cut open a gourd, scoop out the stuff you don't want, throw in some other stuff, and put the thing over a fire to cook.

Watermelon mushroom soup, however, does not sound tasty.

They didn't have a pumpkin, so they substituted in a watermelon and intend to leave a bad review for the recipe.

This is how I cook. I try new things then leave a bad review for myself when it doesn't turn out tasty.

My wife says there's a recipe for a reason, but to me a recipe is just a starting point.

A recipe is just a vague suggestion. The true adventure is trying to figure out how to integrate durian into every meal.

Biden coup is over... We are back to normal.

There was a huge spike in activity over last few weeks. Felt very reddit

Spending the holiday at home. Started a new job (well, same job, new employer) recently, so there was a bit of uncertainty about my work schedule, so we decided to take it easy at home, and instead go visit family up north when the kids have vacation from school in October.

I don't mind the delay, I just wish we could've done it in the summer instead - I haven't had a proper Arctic summer in years. It doesn't feel like summer to me when the sun sets before 23:00

Well, good luck on finding the right pants and on the interview. You sound more well adjusted than 1/3 of the highly paid professionals I endured when I worked in an office.

If only being on holiday meant that I'd be less online. If anything, it's the opposite.

For me bussines has been quiet for a few weeks and I haven't gotten many calls from customers, so here I'm.

If I was on holiday I wouldn't be much on Lemmy. But I am at "work" and I am in severe shitpost withdrawal !

No annual leave till september-october. I hate the crowded summer season, so usually work most of the summer. Its quiet anyways.

This reminds me of my Aunt trying to tell me in 2020 "Oh, you should go to NYC right now! It's great because everything is closed because everyone has Covid."

and I said "But.....then I'd just be in a big city where everything is closed, and everyone has covid."

This at a time before the vaccine came out, and Covid was still very much a deadly threat. Yeah, my aunt is USUALLLY smart. She didn't think that comment through at all.

Currently on holiday in the Cotswolds, UK. So long you stay away from the main touristy spots it’s good, even though we are in the middle of the tourist season.

You reached the end

Just noticed that Lemmy is quieter, probably due to people being on summer holidays, so I hope everyone currently on annual leave enjoys it | Spyke
