So this is the high protein diet my husband is on to try to recover.

I wish it was a plain crossiant. But it's. Impressive it maintained the crispness and layers in a cold fridge. A little too much cream but the flavor is not overly sweet. Very Chinese inflected subtley. atlanotes.com/geonote/3685...

This might be the most fucked up animie I've seen in my life. It's not that it's grusume, but it's portrayal of people with gambling psychosis is probably one of the most horrifying things that could actually happen to you and people you love.

Hanging out here instead of the hospital. Not my preference of espresso, dark and slightly acrid, and seems to be made for milk drinks. Burrito is okay for a reheated product. Maybe just go to the whole foods next door. Nice place to work though. atlanotes.com/geonote/44a7...

I guess some relief in grocery prices. I've been noticing pork constantly on crazy sale and apparently it's because China had too many pigs. So go make some pork chops.

In cars similarly. This sounds like "back in my day" but cars back then we're more interesting on high and lower end. A 35k sports car was not built equally. They had interesting tradeoffs that reflected your personality and what you valued in the driving experience. I was an Mitsubishi Evo guy.

On guns: It was way more fun in the 90s early 2000s that 20 different companies had m4 replacements and 15 year olds who had no business would be arguing online about how much better one gun is over the other. Now everything is just an m4.

I'm just going to be honest this is the intellectual struggle people in the industry have been having, and when I thought I have it figured out how to do this responsibly, I have to confront something like this. I feel this post so hard right now.

It's undeniably valuable as a vision of what the app could be. There's 3 questions. -Is it good enough to try to untangle the mess it likely made with 14,000 lines I have to review? -Is slowly deliberately crawling through each feature worth it? -Should I break it into parts to get it here?

I spent $100 to do an experiment for Opus 5.5 to complete my app. And I'm not sure what to do. I have to be intellectually serious as an engineer to ask the question "why shouldn't I just go with this?" Thankfully I don't have to answer this right now.

Relatively new Persian counter serve place. They have Koobideh and the Viral crispy shawarma wrap. Oddly my husband thought what each other ordered was better than the other so we swapped half way in between. atlanotes.com/geonote/0922...

Dragged my one legged husband out to the japanese mexican truck for some burritos. I wanted something heavier and more comforting and damn is this really good. Al pastor had some really nice spices with it, kind of anise and pine apple. Bir... atlanotes.com/geonote/dc10...

The last of the tomatoes from the garden blended up and into a vodkaish sauce with some left over BBQ sausage we had from my birthday. Sort of end of summer.

God... I know what this app is for. but it's so hard uploading this. Our day just started at S12, we were going to have 4 days of amazing shooting and medical training. For it to all evaporate by a hop skip and a jump that destroyed my husbands leg. atlanotes.com/geonote/3006...

I was told Tennessee's BBQ was pulled pork, and it's pretty good out here. The pizza has a pretty good crust but overloaded on cheese, and I feel like the baked potato is undercooked or cooled down to get gummy. There's a weird thing with bologna out here.. atlanotes.com/geonote/6ed6...

So after a long wait at the urgent care we have good news that we likely will have an operation to fix my husband Monday. We got some tea. 50% sugar is the way to go. atlanotes.com/geonote/c4e5...

A tradition of getting a magnet, even in unfortunate circumstances. None had a good one of the parthenon which seemed to be the (only) highlight of the trip. Not sure if it's just a generic bear with a tag on but it's cute. atlanotes.com/geonote/432e...

So we were supposed to be in Nashville for a week and it didn't work out for my husband. We are flying back tomorrow first thing in the morning. His leg is torn and likely needs immediate surgery.

There's so many bad ways this could have went, casino, music venue. I wish it leaned harder to being a Greek and roman history museum. But worth the $15 to walk into it definitely.

Not going to lie, I thought this was hokey. A fake replica building of a real one in Greece like "we have Parthenon at home" But really seeing the work put into the building and Athena does deserve credit. atlanotes.com/geonote/5515...

Went to Centential Park. A really awesome park with a different design that emphasizes large empty lawn spaces which seem to encourage people to use it. atlanotes.com/geonote/ed38...

You almost never see a stand for PC games so that's impressive. A lot of Vinyl, open comic books, old VHS, a kung fu movies selection. A lot of really cool things.

Each having a very distinct collection. There's some assorted film trailer reels which is really cool. A lot of bad movies, only one that stands out is Miami vice.

I just find Hattie B's sweetness and heavy on sauce to be out of balance compare to Daves. I like the potato salad, but if you have Daves' the hot chicken in nashivlle proper at Hattie B's isn't magically better that you have to go out of your way for.

Yin @bubblewhip.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

So we are in Nashivlle. And we got hot chicken at the one of two places, Hattie B's. Honestly, I prefer Daves Hot Chicken but my husband disagrees. Credit to Dave, he has brought a good Nashville hot chicken to the masses. atlanotes.com/geonote/7fc5...

Fucked up a hotel reservation and it was 1am. Just paid the stupid tax. At least its a really nice hotel. Seems great for a convention. Big deal made about the made to order omelettes but, the breakfast i wouldn't say is any better than a holiday inn. atlanotes.com/geonote/939e...

A soundtrack that regularly gets me to cry. It's one of the most important games I played. It says something very important. In the face of uncontrollably situations you still have a choice. Not a perfect one, theres no happy endings. But you can pick one you believe in and live with.

We are experimenting with a workflow with generated specs that we refine as humans, maybe I'm dumb but the language seems so complicated and academic its hard for me to comprehend. Maybe I'm dumb, and have to have it dumb it down to talk about it in a junior developer way. Exec summary is okay.

I don't know how but the Seattle lounge is completely knocking it out of the park. This is the best lounge food I've had with highly creative items. Wish the curry had more salt but there's a grand canyon between expectations and how this is. atlanotes.com/geonote/1b92...

Never picked up produce at franks, and I can say its totally worth it. They are super nice and gave me the apple for free, and the green beans have a sweetness that you'd never find in any supermarket. Prices aren't actually that outlandish over supermarkets either. atlanotes.com/geonote/4b60...

If your at the hotel restaurant, definitely come at a time with daylight like breakfast. The area is so much nicer at this time, especially for a rare seattle sunny day. We didn't go for a balcony spot but we really should have. Fantastic crab eggs benedict. atlanotes.com/geonote/8eea...
