We did tele-croque-monsieur during lockdown and the eldest really loved it. Turns out, though, that bechamel needs a little more hands-on direction so definitely a learning experience in multiple dimensions.

Not sure that I’d appreciated the Ulta/Flock connection, but they look even more fanatical about it than Home Depot does.

Turns out if you play Outlier early, you get to feel much smarter. You know, before the ancient word-knowers awake from their slumbers and invoke the old magic.

With a wildly gerrymandered state legislature, there’s not even a reasonable route for redress.

One of the things that Pasta Grannies often comes around to in talking with some of their interviews is that these women cooked and ate whatever was handy and/or they could afford. So I’m gonna celebrate my bag of pig parts yall - it’s traditional!

After finding guanciale for $27/lb at the local fancy-ass butcher (and telling them to fuck off with that nonsense) I later found myself in a more modest grocery which happened to have a whole “cured pig parts” case. That bag of cured jowls made some damn fine carbonara tonight.

Up on a roof and was watching a dude hucking demolished insulation into a dumpster bag barehanded. Was fortunate enough to see his foreman swing by and berate him for it. “Buddy, you’re handling fiberglass with bare hands. You do what you want, but I ain’t the one grabbin your pecker.”

the days are starting to get noticeably shorter, which means I am entering my autumn-grumpy period, a subtly but crucially different frame of mind from spring-grumpy, summer-grumpy and winter-grumpy

Cheryl has made a fine point. I, nor other safety professionals, have really said much about general safety precepts as they relate to AI, as opposed to the bullshit artist millenarian cultists that are happy to do so at length. One of the reasons is "These tools are an active detriment to safety."
