    i'm using 4k video downloader for it. that's not the only option - i searched up how to do and got several results - but it's the one i'm using and it (mostly) works.

    TIL that PTerry referred to people from the USA as "Tisoftheeans", being as we come from "my country, Tisofthee". I kind of want to start using that myself.

    Today I learned from fanart that there's apparently a Boston Terrier in that Dream Daddy game?

    Still not really my cup of tea, but why did no one tell me there was a Boston Terrier? C'mon, "We have a Boston Terrier" is A+ advertising. :::PPP

    that you can microwave frozen pasta, as long as you dump a lot of sauce over top of it first. (And use a microwave-safe bowl, obviously). Doesn't alter the taste or texture at all, either.
