Disney Just Declared War on Resellers AND HIGH TIME, TOO. I know this is a very first-world problem but it's such a pain in the ass. I doubt it will work for RunDisney events, but the enforced "two items per customer" policy seems to work well enough there. A few resellers are fine, and it's a useful service for fans who can't get to the parks for certain items. But the sheer greed of the majority of these jerks makes it disappointing and stressful for the regular park-goers who just want a cool souvenir. I also recently saw that they're fighting counterfeiters in the pin trading community by embedding cubic zirconium into the backs. The stone isn't worth much, but the embedding process is a challenging extra step.
The Biggest Scam in Transportation - highways and how towns can reclaim themselves. (video) America is still pretty car-brained but it's changing in some places.

But I'll step back and just let you read the article on your own. It would be nice to see more real-world activities being done in places like waiting rooms, but not everyone has the ability to entirely ditch their smartphone. You could even carry a notebook - handwriting is exceptionally good for your brain.
Korean black bean noodles which I was talking about a few days ago. I'm making this tonight and will report back. Maangchi also posted my favorite tteok bokki recipe ever.
In other news, IT'S BULKING SEASON Y'ALL, LET'S GO. I got tired of cutting and ended a little early, since I don't think I can push my weight lower, and I lost a decent amount of fat. But I'm ready to start trying to add weight to the bar again, to stop feeling tired all the time, and just be able to eat some damn food.
In the meantime, I hear Fox at his computer going, "Hmmmm." So I'd better go find out what's up.
