yes, this.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

I kind of wanted to stop watching Eastwick, but then they cast one of my old friends from college, Jason George

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
he'd charged us for the order and reorder AND gave himself a 50% tip
Jesus, I hope he got fired too.
I was supposed to be watching Eastwick too, because a friend's on it, but I just couldn't get over the lameness of the trailers. Is this guy getting a lot of screentime?

This. There are exceptions on the plus side for super service or if I had a great day and feel like paying it forward. The crap tip is when the server really needs to consider a new career. That is very rare.

David Schwartz linked video of baby red pandas on FB yesterday - I thought that it should be linked here too due to the lethal cuteness.

Slice of bread shuts down LHC. Seriously. Slice of bread.
The Large Hadron Collider, the world's most powerful particle accelerator, just cannot catch a break. First, a coolant leak destroyed some of the magnets that guide the energy beam. Then LHC officials postponed the restart of the machine to add additional safety features. Now, a bird dropping a piece of bread on a section of the accelerator has, according to the Register, shut down the whole operation.
The bird dropped some bread on a section of outdoor machinery, eventually leading to significant over heating in parts of the accelerator. The LHC was not operational at the time of the incident, but the spike produced so much heat that had the beam been on, automatic failsafes would have shut down the machine.
And in the comments thread FTW:
The bird's briefing:
The approach will not be easy. You are required to maneuver straight down this trench and skim the surface to this point. The target area is only two meters wide. It's a small thermal exhaust port, right below the main port. The shaft leads directly to the reactor system. A precise hit will start a chain reaction which should destroy the station.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Heh. A different blog also made the "maneuver down this trench" joke.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Does the bird's briefing include anything about the force being strong?
