I have 3 friends that I play Civ V with weekly, in person LAN parties maybe once or twice a year. Civ 6 never caught on and I’m the youngest in the group (at 39) so I just went with it. But going by the principle that odd number Civs are good we are excited for 2025.

I’m personally a big fan of finishing up work, looking through the cupboards, polling the kids and wife, and then walking 5 minutes to the grocery store to get a few things for dinner. Gets me out of the house, and since I work from home mostly I find it helps me make a nice mental and physical separation between work and the evening. Fresh baked sourdough from a local baker is an added plus.

I realize there’s an immense level of privilege I enjoy to be able to do this (namely living in a very metro area, and usually having no commute), but having also lived in Europe and India for periods of my life it’s sad to see there this type of daily shopping is way more normal and commonplace.

I feel like this about Sinclair gas. It’s just rubbing it in at that point.

Major Kovalyov: “Am I a joke to you?”

But like proper swedish black licorice / salmiak or jelly belly?

Don’t drive like my brother!

It’s called the Enhanced Games and Peter Thiel is funding it https://www.forbes.com/sites/roberthart/2024/01/31/billionaire-peter-thiel-backs-doping-friendly-olympics-rival---what-to-know-about-the-enhanced-games/?sh=60c2b6eb501f

Lord you can see it’s true

I think perforce is mostly used. There certainly should be a changelog but no text diff really.

So the kids they dance and shake their bones

Sikhs want Punjab to be its own country, separate from India. India post Congress is ruled by Hindu nationalists who want to rewrite history books and erase anything positive that happened in precolonial India (which wasn’t really a country in the modern sense, but a changing set of integrated states) under non Hindu rule. The BJP are fascist shit stains and literally ordering hits on Sikh activists abroad for trying to promote Sikh separatism. There’s really not much more nuance than that. Fuck Modi.

Oh interesting I’ll tell my wife. I still continually deal with the unibrow myself. But high quality microblading is way different than normal tattooing esp in the appearance of texture, it’s quite amazing. Also pretty freaking expensive.

In the early 2000s plucking and waxing your brows to really really thin was fashionable, esp in certain places. Then people realized it is dumb but if you are around 40 now it was too late. So microblading helps you not look like a MadTV sketch. Source: my wife turns 40 this year, grew up in a particularly hood area of the sf bay area, and from 30 onwards really regretted plucking her eyebrows to almost nothing.

Dr bronners for skin and hair (I have very thick indian hair in jata style dreadlocks down to my knees). For a long time I used a charcoal based face wash (lush until they changed their formula for coal face, then some similar brand I found on amazon) but for whatever odd reason after a few years my skin stopped tolerating it and kept breaking out, so I switched to Kate Somerville’s sulfur face wash which works wonders (but does have a bit of a smell to it unfortunately).
