There's a storm raging outside. I wonder if we're going to lose power again.

Katy and I have randomly discovered sumo wrestling and weirdly gotten into it. The first thing I learned was that the people who deliberately get seating in the front rows are... brave.

It's all these dignitaries and rich people, those rows aren't easy to buy, and they get run over a lot. As do the judges, "Shimpan bowling" we call it.

Went to a large grocery store and waitied in the parking lot with a book for a few hours hoping to pick up an Instacart order. Didn't get one, but as I tried to start the car to go home, I found that I'd left the lights on and the battery's dead.

Waiting on my father to show up with jumper cables, but at least I'm not so upset about not getting an order. Would've sucked to find the battery dead when I tried to deliver it...

So there's this Japanese sushi chef YouTuber that Katy and I have been watching. He does all kinds of recipes, but he keeps using this one ingredient I'm unfamiliar with. He calls it "salad oil". Is that a mistranslation of vegetable oil, or is this something else I'm just unaware of?

It's any unnamed vegetable oil that you would use to make a salad dressing; the key characteristic is that it doesn't have much flavor. It's often sold as a mix of whatever's reasonably cheap: soybean, canola, peanut, and in some cases, cottonseed.

You can substitute whatever you like, especially if you think the recipe would improve with avocado or olive oil.

"Physical books are so much better than ebooks because you don't have to worry about the battery dying", I say as the battery to my reading light starts dying...

Candles! I appreciate the irony but at least you still have options.

Brought home a box of groceries. On my in the front door, the bottom of the box gave out and everything hit the floor. Amazingly, every single egg survived the fall.

I will concede that ebooks are convenient, but when it comes to a good novel, nothing tops the experience of an actual paper book for me.

Bank machines have business hours now? How is that a thing?

Are the machines that are replacing us demanding better working conditions now? 🙃
