pizza slow (high quality)

posts from 2026 / 06

  1. I’m going to deploy my own mastodon instance on gravely.pizza where the only thing I change (initially, ha ha, he chuckled) will be to leave leading white space in posts alone.

  2. "Where would you like to meet?”, I asked someone I’m trying to buy something from on craigslist.

    “I only meet at home, in my garage."

  3. I was never able to suspend disbelief that “part of a balanced breakfast” pictured in 1990s cereal commercials with eggs, bacon, a green vegetable, tomatoes, a coffee, juice, glass of water and so on was in any way plausible.

    Well, every bowl of cereal I’ve had my entire life was three to six servings and four or five portions of milk. A balanced breakfast is good, actually (although I’ll pass on the bacon).

  4. Berlin, Hamburg, and Copenhagen with the family later this month. Never been and have no agenda, I just hear great things so off we go.

  5. I hit that next goal a few weeks ago and never thought to post about it.

    What I came here to post, as I approach dropping 5 more not on purpose but as just, whatever, was that while it was fun and cool to buy all new pants, none of my god damned belts fit anymore.

    I just took one, traced the end, stenciled that back on, and cut a few inches off with kitchen shears, then drilled three new holes in it with my cordless drill. Just fine.

    Anyway, -30 pounds, ish? It is weird as hell.

  6. Fewer things, please and thank you.

  7. BREAKING: There is a new thing out there that you don’t have yet.

  8. I have this old cherner-style (but unmarked) bent ply chair that we bought in terrible condition 20 years ago and used as a side chair until one of the legs snapped. We had it repaired (glued) and then it broke again a few years later beyond repair.

    I want to put the seat on legs, but searching high and low, I have no idea where to even start.

    An Eames H-base (DSX) narrow-mount would still be too wide as the screw holes are 5" apart on center side-to-side and 5 1/1" front-to-back.

    the one-piece bent ply seat and back, resting on a pink eames shell chair on an H-base next to our kitchen table to the right and a Hay side table to the left.A bunch of potted plants are on the credenza on the back wall.

    the ruins of the base, wood from the veneer still glued in places, screw hardware remains in three, the top right corner is stripped completely.

  9. precisely x minutes later: yes in this scenario, “birthday pony” is a reprise

  10. I like to pretend the fugazi’s “do you like me” is a song from my homunculus to me and the first 45 seconds is it’s leitmotif that I hear as I approach. i don’t really listen to lyrics much so I can’t really explain the middle bit about virginia prisons or w/e, not my problem tbh.
