Thanks! Interesting to blend it with a hand mixer. I'll give this a try next time I make mashed potatoes. I usually struggle with some lumps left in the mix. I've tried making it with a potato ricer and then stirring in butter/salt. It turns out really nice and fluffy, but it's a pain to put so many pieces through the potato ricer lol.

What're your top mash tips? Looks like pretty solid mashed potatoes to me!

It's an opium poppy (papaver somniferum). Not sure what the symbolism of that is, though.

Get the refund. You can try making your own fried rice to replicate it in the meantime!

Datura can definitely be used for nefarious purposes, and fuck Epstein - but it isn't as rare and crazy to grow as the article makes out. There's a big patch of datura that grows wild near me beside an old folks' home. I'm sure there is plenty growing wild in most of North America.

I kind of missed the boat on it and only tried it a couple of times, but damn was it good...

I found it out on the high seas one time so I have all the episodes. I liked it so much I also tried to buy all the seasons on DVD. Sadly only season 1 is available, apparently there were licensing issues with the music for season 2 and 3 that prevented it from being released.

I love monkey dust. Most of the sketches are still relevant and really funny. Definitely worth a watch for those who haven't seen it.

Cool study and application for crow-treat exchanges. But the image is AI. That is some gibberish Swedish text.

 

Hey everyone,

I've been running somewhat seriously since about 2021, logging minimum 20 km/week year-round, and ramping up/down according to races. Last year I ran my first marathon and ended up bonking pretty hard at 30 km in. A tale as old as time itself. I wasn't following a training plan so I definitely didn't put in enough weekly kilometers to have a good aerobic base etc.

Anyway, this year I'm following the Hanson advanced marathon training plan. I'm 9 weeks in (out of 18) and I feel like the cumulative fatigue is already starting to slap pretty hard. I'm working on slowing down the easy runs which is helping, and the last few weeks have also been quite hot and humid which isn't helping. I am also trying to ramp up my carb intake which has probably been a bit low.

Anyway, my question - seeing as the advanced plan was probably a bit much to chew for my running level (going from 20-30km/week - 70-80 for the last 2 months), and I'm already feeling the fatigue, should I stick to the prescribed one week taper, or make it a two week taper? It seems like most plans generally have a two week taper.

I was thinking about maybe doing one tempo run about two weeks before the race, then hitting 40-50 km that week, and the suggested ~30 km on race week. According to the training plan, the week before race week should be 86 km.

I can't remember which episode it is, but there's an episode of one of Anthony Bourdain's shows where he visits a restaurant run by his friend.

This chef is serving a massive multi-course meal, something like 10+ courses, and knows that Bourdain is a heavy smoker. So at one point he brings out the next course and tells Bourdain something along the lines of "And this one is made with tobacco, so you won't try and get up in the middle of my dinner and go smoke".

I guess if the dose is low enough and the tobacco is mixed with the right foods, it could possibly make for an interesting flavour combination.

 

Since I can't seem to post on the drug gardening community I'll drop this here. Really digging the petal shapes on this one.

Bonus trichocereus bridgesii in the background.

 

Currently just some cannabis and nicotine for me, nothing wild.
