They haven't had enough time to market it, it'd get terrible ratings.

Two tips:
- If you tend to sleep late, put a timer on the crockpot to keep the cooking time to about 8 hours so the oats don't overcook
- Never, ever try to use rolled oats for this, the resulting texture will be "unpleasant" (unless you were the kid who ate paste in school, in which case carry on).

An easy breakfast recipe for before a long winter bike ride: Overnight oatmeal

- 1c porridge or steel-cut oats
- 2c of dried fruit (I like a mix of cranberries and apricots)
- 4c water
- 3-fingered pinch of salt

Place all ingredients in a small crockpot & cook on low overnight. Makes 3-4 servings.

Apparently I still have some standards, and one of them is: I will insta-block any Democratic candidate for office that sends me email from James bloody Carville.

Smear some tomato sauce on it and top it with a Kraft single, and it was also "pizza."

I hope the Speaker seeks medical attention soon for his very clear, self-reported issues with his vision, hearing, and memory.

I'm old enough to remember my parents giving up after the kids all went off to college, and leaving the clock on the VCR set wrong for six months at a time.

I ate a sensible dinner of a harvest veggie salad and a bowl of vegetarian chili, which I'm sure more than offsets the bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups eaten for dessert.

I spent my last day of vacation having some type-two fun on the bike.

Massachusetts friends: This is one of several local food banks I am supporting. Citizens Inn does great work and you can see how far your $25 donation goes.

Please consider a donation to Citizens Inn or your local food bank: citizensinn.org/give-to-citi...

On November 1, over 1 million Massachusetts residents — including 330,000 children — will lose access to SNAP food benefits because of the federal shutdown.

For many of our neighbors, that means an empty fridge and no way to put food on the table.

At Citizens Inn Haven from Hunger, we’re preparing for a surge in need. We already serve 500 families weekly through our pantry and provide 400 hot meals each week — but we know that’s about to grow.

You can make a difference right now.
$25 provides groceries for a family for a week
$50 covers meals for a senior
$100 restocks pantry shelves for families in crisis

Every dollar matters. Please give today to ensure no one in our community goes hungry.

Give to Citizens Inn -> https://citizensinn.org/give-to-citizens-inn/

I noticed my average wattage was basically the same as the person who won, but I finished 4:38.8 behind them because I'm ~35kg heavier. Boo (derogatory).

It's possible they've lied about their weight, but the game assumes riders are honest, and higher-stake races actually have weigh-ins.

Given this was only my second Zwift race ever, and the first in six months, I'm happy enough with this.

When we were little, my father told my sisters and me to call our cousin Tom "uncle" because he was so much older than us. This annoyed us because Tom isn't our uncle, and it rankled him because "Uncle Tom" wasn't something anyone growing up in civil rights-era Virginia wanted to be called.
