Unfortunately, this Mac is not going to get any more BIOS updates. Time to return it. I ought to stick with Corsair…

I know that feeling. When you’re trying to eek out a little more life from an old system, the last thing you want is to spend more on it than you have to
My desktop just died (powersupply most likely, but I haven’t taken time to diagnose) and the laptop I dug out to use is a little sluggish, but a reputable brand of RAM is more than I can spend on it in good conscience.

Whenever the ants find the cat food I have to change where I leave the cat food out, confusing my poor cats. One of them really doesn’t like people and hesitates to even enter the room, much less poke around looking for a new dining spot. They’ll be fine, but it grinds my gears.

I had a similar problem, ants coming up through the floor. I was able to block that path with baking soda. It looked bad on the carpet for a few weeks, but they have still not come back in that location. There are other places where this didn’t work, though, maybe because the entry way was larger and they could go around the baking soda.

If the other home remedies don’t work, try soap. It’s been years, but I think it was dawn liquid soap that we used to counter an ant infestation. It was surprisingly effective. Could just be that it broke up the scent trails (which the other suggestions would do too) but it was cheap and easy to apply.

Who the fuck puts peanuts in sushi?

There’s a place in NW Indiana that is better than you’d expect for pan-Asian food. They do a peanut and spinach maki roll that is pretty good, actually. If your reason for eating sushi is the raw fish, it definitely won’t appeal, but as a cross-cultural experiment it’s not the worst idea. But yeah, it took some convincing for me to try it the first time, because it does sound bizarre, doesn’t it?

Well, I’ve been allergic to peanuts all my life. Not as bad as some, they’re unlikely to kill me, but in my youth they would come up pretty quickly. As a result of this, I don’t actually have a good idea what they taste like because whenever I had any, the main thing I would taste was the bile immediately rising up my throat.
I’m much less allergic now, I can even keep down small quantities, provided it’s on a full stomach. But these two things, not knowing the taste and the reaction being slightly delayed means it’s easier to eat them by mistake and I was not expecting them in sushi.

So they basically stuff gomae into a maki roll? Do they still wrap the whole thing in seaweed, because that just sounds weird.

There is nori on the inside, to help facilitate the roll.

Or maybe the outside. Now I can’t remember! I’ve had it twice, both times in the last few months. But my brain is still not fully functional, obviously.

Oh yeah, THAT’S BAD. So glad you’re not deathly allergic.

Regardless of whether it’s inside or outside, I’m intrigued, but a bit unsure of how it would work…

I’m remembering slightly wrong: it’s peanut and avocado, and possibly doesn’t have spinach in it, just nori. I think it looks like this (I’m feeling like an idiot that I can’t actually remember):

I found a show that I liked, and it was available on multiple streaming services, one of which I pay for every month and another that’s ad-supported. I watched a couple of episodes and bookmarked it to come back to it. And what do I find? “Full episodes unavailable. Check below to discover other shows you might like!”
No, that’s not what I paid for, that’s not what I’m looking for. Going back to pirating, fuck you very much.

Yes the come and go of shows is infuriating.
I started Man in High Castle when it came out. I liked it, but wasn’t in the mood? for it so I figured I’d come back when I felt like it.
Nope. Maybe season one is back now that a new season is up, but it was their own damn show !!!
It’s not like those bits are taking up precious shelf space.

I have the same issue because of regional blocking. Try a VPN like Betternet, perhaps?
