This ca$hcat’s name is Butterball and I am proud to say that I am one of the two people who submitted this photo. The other is my fine upstanding gentleman-friend, whose uncle owns Butterball and whose house we were visiting last weekend for a raucous 60th birthday party. If the grown-ups knew how much time we spent in the basement trying to capture that priceless expression on Butterball’s face as she glowered at a pile of money, they’d be horrified. Or maybe they’d just say, “I guess that’s why the kids are all unemployed.”

ah yes…dreams really do come true. ;)

This from Alan Sepinwall’s surprisingly not completely negative recap…

The idea of a lonely, depressed Ted — who is keenly aware that it’s been nearly seven years removed from that moment where he decided he was ready to meet the woman of his dreams and settle down — turning back to the one relationship in his life where he was always happy, and where it ended on good terms, and where she’s very much been a part of his life ever since, is not a bad one on its face. It’s a dead end in terms of the show’s mythology, but it’s not necessarily a dead end in terms of doing something interesting with Ted, and also with Robin. If Ted is (for now) willing to give up on the idea of having kids, isn’t Robin the perfect match for him, and vice versa? Given Victoria’s warning at the end of “The Ducky Tie” — which foreshadowed this development enough that it didn’t feel like a complete WTF? moment — just how messy is this going to get for these two, and for Barney?

I think they can do something good with this. It’s not out of the blue, though they could have arguably foreshadowed it more in the last few weeks. Victoria warned us of this. We’ve had isolated moments here and there over the last few years where Ted and Robin were hanging out by themselves and it was clear there was still chemistry, and that there were still feelings. Maybe they screw it up and I come out the other side hating Robin as much as I hated Zooey or Stella by the end, and that would be terribly unfortunate. But maybe they get it right, and it says something interesting about who these two are five years after they split over their irreconcilable differences.

Also, the portrayal of the Drunk Train was eerily accurate. 

i disagree with all of this. ALL. OF. THIS.

Excuse me, may I blow your mind?
Drop a strong magnet on a table and it falls and lands like anything else you drop on a table. But drop the same magnet through a copper pipe and it does something spooky before it hits the table—- Just talkin’ about electromagnetic fields and Lenz’s Law, y’all!

This video was suggested by “What It Is class” member, the Five of Diamonds, who adds:

Magnets do not attract copper. That’s what the kid is trying to demonstrate in the first 5 seconds here. The relevant fact about copper is that it’s a good conductor. This just means it’s a material within which electrons can move around easily. If we think of the copper pipe not as a pipe, but instead as a stack of copper rings, it’s a little easier to understand the effect.

The closer the magnet is to any particular ring, the more ‘magnety musk ’ is within the area of that ring. Magnety musk in nerd-speak is called the magnetic field. As the magnet approaches a ring, the field strength in that particular ring is changing and changing magnety musk produces electrical musk. This relationship between electricity and magnetism is the reason for terms like electromagnetism.

Electrons move in the presence of electrical musk, so as the magnet approaches a ring, electrons in that ring of copper move around. The movement of the electrons creates a changing electrical musk, which in turn, creates more magnetic musk. So now we have magnetic musk from the magnet and magnetic musk from the moving electrons.  Loosely speaking, these musks oppose one another and slow the magnet. This happens in each ring of the stack, so the magnet falls slowly through the entire pipe.

[Note from Professor Lynda: This video is a simple demonstration of electromagnetic circuits obeying Newton’s third law which- as you remember- reads:

Actioni contrariam semper et æqualem esse reactionem: sive corporum duorum actiones in se mutuo semper esse æquales et in partes contrarias dirigi.

“To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction: or the
forces of two bodies on each other are always equal and are directed in
opposite directions.”

Music Video: Childish Gambino - “Heartbeat”

this song (and video) is everything.

BURN!

while i do not have children, nor am i currently contemplating a move to the suburbs…i totally 100% agree with everything jordan said in this post. especially:

“Sometimes you need to just put on your Grownup Pants and decide, already. Weigh the pros and cons, figure out what’s important to you, argue with yourself to pieces…but then do it. Jump.” (via ramshackleglam)

Yeah, we had to.

obama gifs?! i approve.

birchbox:

I have discovered a ton of exceptional products since I started working at Birchbox, but there are only a handful of them that I classify as totally life-changing. One such product: Jouer’s Lumizing Moisture Tint (which we refer to as LMT around the office). I don’t go a day without slathering it on my face (it has SPF 20!) even though I regularly skip other fundamentals, such as mascara and blush.

What makes this tinted moisturizer stand out from the rest? The hydrating formula contains tiny light-reflecting particles that are too small to see with the naked eye, but they give your complexion a visibly radiant finish.

I’ve purchased this in the past on recommendation from Lauren (who swears by it), and I have to agree, it’s pretty great.

Only complaints were that it didn’t always offer the full coverage I was looking for, and the “luminescent” quality made it onto my hands more than I liked.

the only thing that would top that is if a new york yankee proposed to me after winning the world series.

…or whatever my future husband does, in case he happens to read this one day.

(but seriously. marrying a yankee or ny giant? totally in the realm of possibility. )
