I literally just this week picked up a kit for carving 印章 (those Chinese seal stamps) and carved my first one last night.

I botched it.

Thankfully it’s really easy to erase and start over. 🤣

“Set” to flee.

The best time to leave X for being a Nazi bar was at least a year ago.

The second best time to leave X for being a Nazi bar is right now.

And they’re “set”. Implying future.

So … you’re comfortable with fascists in your bar?

Congrats! You’ve got a fascist bar!

I mean, you do you and all that shit, but you’ll find that over time all you’re going to get is fascists as normal people bail out on you.

I should have known better than order from AliExpress…

There are secure lockers but they were not used.

I fail to see how this is in any way, shape, or form AliExpress’ failure. I mean aside from the knee-jerk “CHYNA BADD!” shit that Americans always spew.

I’ve started a new hobby of carving 印章 (yìnzhāng or seals or so-called “chops”). They’re those red things that you see on Chinese calligraphy and paintings. I got a beginner’s set of tools and practice stones on Sunday, and found time today to make my first attempt.

Which I naturally botched.

But it’s easy to undo your mistakes with a very coarse grit grinding pad followed by a fine grit sandpaper, so I’m all set up to try again possibly tomorrow. I expect to have my first chop that’s not a complete embarrassment ready to photograph by the end of the weekend.

It’s FAR better to be in the eye of the storm than in the part that has all the winds and rain and stuff.

An old saying that Dads are likely to have heard is “an elephant never forgets”. So “I have the memory of an elephant” is saying “I never forget.”

Unless you’re making a Dad joke.

In which case it means “I remember seeing an elephant once”.
