🍅 Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit.

🍅 Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

🍅 Philosophy is wondering if that means ketchup is a smoothie.

Oh great I forgot Wreckfest leaves early access today. Jurassic World has only been out for two days, and in two weeks Beyond Chapter Two will be released for Elite: Dangerous.

"(...) bitcoin's surge in late 2017 correlates with movement of Tether from Bitfinex to other exchanges in the hours before the valuation increased. Other digital currencies like Ethereum and Litecoin soared at around the same time by as much as 64 percent. The prices climbed faster on exchanges the dealt in Tether than on those that didn't."

While I'm mentioning Hospitality in the Park : tickets are available and even though this festival is organised by Hospital Records who usually stay at the chill/smooth end of the dum'n'bass spectrum, it features several stages and guests from all kinds of subgenres so it's worth it for anybody who likes DNB. This year's will be the third edition I attend (out of three editions total) and I can't wait to be there!

On the subject of MCs during drum'n'bass sets, YouTube commenters finally seem to reach a consensus.

Human body is 70% of water so we’re basically cucumbers with anxiety.

It's really amazing to see people on my TL from everywhere in the world paying tribute to Bourdain for portraying their country/culture positively and respectfully when no one else was doing it.

That's a really good legacy

Y’all, do not ever use Groupon+. They monitor every transaction you make with the card you used to sign up, even if it’s not a transaction using a Groupon.

I know because I’m sitting at a restaurant and just got an email from Groupon saying I’d missed out on a deal. They figured out I was at that restaurant by tracking my credit card. I disabled it as soon as I got the email but they must have tracked me for months.
