TIL: Egg Oiling

The Antarctic treaty prevents us from keeping any sort of livestock, and we're completely cut off (physically) from the outside world through the winter. Eggs - important not only for breakfast, but also for most of
the baking done here - will ordinarily only last a couple of months, but if you keep them well oiled, the oil will seal the shells and keep them from going off until fresh supplies come in November.
They were all oiled at the start of the season, and last night it was time to freshen up their coatings.
About half the station crowded into the kitchen, poured themselves bowl after bowl of canola oil, and started dipping, rolling, and massaging eggs.
There were the predictable casualties (beer, very oily hands, and thousands of eggs were never meant to go together), but within an hour we'd unpacked, oiled, and repacked more eggs than most people see in a lifetime.

Post- Marines: We're here! Where are the protests at?
Angelenos: Okay, so you take the 210 to the 134, head south on the 5, then transition to the
110, take the right exit off 6th street, pass the In-n-Out...

Reply - I feel like you're being extra mean to them by telling them to go all the way around Glendale at this time of day, rather than take the 2 south from the 134 and meet up with the 5 over by Dodger Stadium...

@PavelASamsonov @VisualStuart I want AI to do my laundry so I can make art, not the reverse.

In late 1800s, a quiet man with a camera wandered the windswept plains of southwestern #France. His name was Félix Arnaudin, and what he captured was a way of life already fading into memory.

Among his most haunting images were the #shepherds of the Landes, perched on towering wooden stilts known as échasses. Dressed in thick wool cloaks and wide-brimmed hats, these men weren’t performers or curiosities—they were survivors of the bog. #History

Black and white photo of a large tree burl about a foot above the ground in the tree’s trunk. Shallow depth of field accentuates the sense of how much the burl protrudes out from the tree. The photo is composed so that the burl occupies the center of the horizontal image, cropping barely leaves the base of the tree visible and little of the trunk above the burl.

Parents can't opt out of books with LGBTQ+ characters because you can't opt out of reality. I made them. On purpose. Get over it.

The origin of the word "politics" lies in "poli", meaning "fucking", and "tics", meaning "stupid bullshit".

Unboxed my new Fuji X100 vi what’s the first thing I do? Take a selfie, of course! Can’t wait to take this thing out into the world…

I started a new job as a delivery man today. When I got to my first address there was a sticky note on the door saying, “Dear Mr delivery man, we’re out, please hide in garage.”

That was eight hours ago and still nobody’s found me.
