I found this graph interesting.

^^ It true, whenever I hear about inflation numbers elsewhere I often go "amateurs".
^ Surprised to see Saudi Arabia there. I'm not sure what the x-axis means, though, does that mean Girls are better at reading pretty much everywhere? Note to self: check the source.

I was wondering the same thing about the x-axis.

I was too lazy to check the source though.

Haven't dumped images in a while, not that I have many.

The one on the right looks like a forgery; that must be why it's cheaper.

^^ the first one looks like I am assumed to know something in advance to get the joke.

^^ It's a spin on the idea that damage dealers are dumber than healers and tanks (because it's generally agreed that it's an easier role to fulfill).

I thought it was a joke on the idea of the main character being a clueless enough newbie that he can't tell that the other two people are idiots.

It's a blog page, but there's lots of photos, so I don't feel guilty for posting something that's not translated to English. Apparently it's a failed theme park. Poland being Poland, the theme is "copies of Catholic sacral architecture, also pope statues".

This reminds me of Splendid China, a now-defunct theme park near Orlando, FL that featured miniatures of famous Chinese buildings (e.g. the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Terra-Cotta Warriors, etc.).

Looking it up on Wikipedia (1) reminded me that there's a Splendid China theme park still in operation in mainland China itself, and (2) revealed to me that the site -- which I'd last read had been acquired and was being demolished (not before people got some photos of the dilapidated miniature buildings) -- has since been replaced with a Margaritaville resort, from which "Radio Margarita" broadcasts.

Knowing the song "Margaritaville", I was always curious about the Margaritaville-themed resort over at the beach near-ish here (it's on the beach of Hollywood, FL). That got me to check Wikipedia's article for the company which revealed to me that it wasn't just themed on the song but actually founded by Jimmy Buffett himself, and the reason why he is associated with this song so much is in part because his schtick actually is "island escapism" -- i.e. that whole stereotypical picture of sunsets across the ocean flanked by palm trees beneath which men in Hawaiian shirts sip margaritas and women in bikinis lounge on hammocks -- and it's an entire chain with multiple locations across not just Florida but across the US. And apparently he's worth like US$900M.

Makes me curious if all of them are actually located on a shore of some sort or another. Also, is it related to that whole Tiki stuff? Because that's also themed around "island escapism", if with a pronounced faux-Polynesian motif.

secret nazi cake

Incidentally that cat is Admiral, from Stratos 4.

And I also totally forgot this image was already on my computer, went out to find a DO NOT WANT image, downloaded it because I recognized the cat, only to find that I already had this image. lol.

Also, looking closer at that secret nazi cake I noticed that the product box art is a lie.

Huh, it looks like I forgot to post this one, or forgot that I already did it. So, here it is:

The final solution to the plain cakes problem.

I wonder how hard It is to make (or similar radial patterns).

Unfortunately I get the feeling that that hallway carpet thing doesn't work right from different points of view).

meanwhile in Poland, you can buy Samsung pork loin with two USB ports

Can you use that to make spam?

lrdgck

You better cook it before connecting, or you may get some virus in your system.
