Coffee & Cider

A bonus (Fake) "New Year" episode finds Rich playing Mr. Fix-It for Danielle's battle against Photoshop.

On a Monday after Christmas and before New Year's, Danielle announced that she is ending Girls With Slingshots in March 2015.

• Danielle has been doing Girls With Slingshots for ten years. Ten. Years. She's ending it...for now.
• John Allison, a fellow with a generally useless Wikipedia page, has ended Bobbins (CLASSIC Bobbins begins here) to start Scary Go Round (which began here), and SGR in turn to start Bad Machinery. He now trips across the entire "Tacklefordverse" like a mad wizard.
• Interested in sponsoring Coffee & Cider in 2015 or know someone who should? Get in touch.

Danielle is back and recovered from travel, so the GlutenFreedonian Duo talk about fun stuff the kids like: Social Justice, creeping out creeper dudes, and Dr. Mario.

This week: the secret to your superpowers.

• SketchParty TV: a fun, fast sketching-and-guessing game for AppleTV.

• Dr. Mario can cure what ails anyone
• Support Girls With Slingshots on Patreon
• Rich has a Fucking Store. Not even technically speaking, Rich really has a Fucking Store.
• Pomplamoose
• Patreon
• 8chan is the shittier, fundamentalist ISIS version of 4chan, and 4chan is already awful.
• 8chan somehow still has a Patreon live and going.
• Did I mention...Support Girls With Slingshots on Patreon?
• Criterion Velocity has nothing to do with DVDs (this show does, though). Pre-order Come As You Are and get ready to have your mind blown (at minimum) in March 2015.
• Dickwolves was a whole thing. Rich stood against them.
• Electric cars are discussed in more detail by guest Lex Friedman on the soon-to-post Systematic #123, right here on ESN. It's an interview show by an introvert.

In the shocking 46-minute conclusion to an equally shocking 4-minute episode of Night Moves..."Dnanielle", Rich, and Moisés barely discuss Thanksgiving, time zones, and the un-boring versions of world/space travel. (Part 2 of 2)

• Maximum Absorbency Garments originally required astronauts to disclose the size of their most personal payload.
• That's right, Deezenators! There's an official Eddie Deezen website for all us nerds! Wait...I think he writes all these posts and...there went three hours down a rathole.
• THANK YOU BASED COKE GOD. Some people work on cures for major diseases. Others dedicate time and effort to reviving soda sub-brands that cause Diabetes and probably various others!
• Come As You Are by Emily Nagoski is a book about human sexuality "powered by science". Pre-order it now so that 3 March 2015 can be a day of awakening and liberation for you.
• Jamie Oliver making meatball jokes for 15 minutes.
• Yan Can Cook, don't you ever let us down.
• Chinese Cubans have their on Wikipedia page!
• The first tipoff to a recipe for "Cuban Black Beans" being inauthentic is when you see it claim to be "authentic" or "classic". The whole point of it being the staple dish is there are a thousand variations. Every working-class family has their own slight variant.
• I'm glad the forum of record for such things, the Steve Jackson Games one, is addressing IntraLunar Travel.
• Rich is part Native Mooninite , so show some goddamned respect, ok?

Night Moves has crossed over with Coffee & Cider for our first MAJOR CROSSOVER CLIFFHANGER EVENT. Will Rich solve transatlantic travel? What's worth doing in South America? FIND OUT TODAY. (Part 1 of 2)

Danielle and Rich look back at The Mystery of The Missing Box from her Thought Bubble trip. They go further and do a "deep dive" to examine their transportation choices, hopes, and dreams. This week, we discover Rich's grand plan for Future Travel Across Oceans.

• SPX is a great reason to visit New England (hear that, Redcoats?)
• "Irish Goodbye"? Post-racism my ass.
• Visit Topatoco for all your Danielle Merch needs. Ok, Rich too if you don't know where his website is.
• WHAT STATES HAVE YOU VISITED???

• Jason Kottke's Silkscreen font: available for a small fee! Make him wonder why there's a spike in sales!

Danielle and Rich discuss her upcoming trip to the UK for Thought Bubble, as well as the perils of hidden glutens, butters, and Nazi Truth Serum.

• For the honor of Grayskull...behold "D"-Ra and company.
• The truth of how Nazi Truth Serum (and all Truth Serums) works/worked/work.
• In the Cold War, the CIA found a nifty place for fascinating information: Nazis!

Danielle and Rich discuss distractions, focus, and the nice things they find in the alleyway. How can non-working arcade cabinets help keep you productive? How can a nice day truck you into not doing work?

• Rich got Buzzfeed-ed (Buzzfed?).
• Rich got ripped off by these fancy European THIEVES.
• Jack Kirby created both Darkseid and (three years later) Thanos. Rich has an opinion.
• Danielle's comic the night of this recording.
