> I mean, they just put astronauts into orbit a minute ago. What’d you do today?

Well, I'm currently unemployed, and my new job doesn't start for a few more weeks.

So my accomplishments for today include:

* I hung out with my kid before he went out to the school bus

* I made the guacamole for tonight's dinner, because it benefits from sitting in the fridge for a few hours.

* I partially caught up on today's new Crunchyroll episodes. But Konosuba season 3 just isn't amusing me the way the first two seasons did.

* Played "Endless Space 2" and "Age of Darkness: Final Stand" for a while, because I'm short on sleep today and my brain wasn't good for much else.

So, I didn't put anyone in orbit today, but I think I'm doing pretty okay, thank you :)

Nothing constructive to add here… just think it’s awesome you got to hang out with your kid and… I never knew that guac benefits from sitting in the fridge. I always thought it was the opposite.

I'm sure it's subjective, but see my sibling comment for the details.

Which faction are you playing in Endless Space 2, and why is the only reasonable answer always Horatio?

[CoastalCoder]

Humans / Zelevas, because I'm lazy and I play ES2 when I just want to zone out.

As someone that always makes guacamole immediately before eating it - what do you say changes with the flavour profile by letting it sit?

[CoastalCoder]

When I first make my guacamole, it often tastes too strongly of fruitiness (from the limes), salt, or garlic. Any/all of those seem to mellow out after a few hours in the fridge.

For context, here's my recipe: 5 avocados, 3-4 limes, ~1 tsp of minced garlic, 1 tomato, a few dashes of cayenne, and salt (to taste).
