Company had a major round of layoffs, and this time I drew a short straw. Once more unto the breach, I guess. If anyone has leads on Data-related roles remote or in San Antonio, please send them my way.

Most classes of mine were in chemistry/physics/math, but a few more unusual ones: - A math class where we went through Knuth/Graham/Patasnik's Concrete Mathematics - The chemistry of photography - Central Asian history - Russian film - Hungarian language

Today's bike ride. Met a waddling of ducklings by Brackenridge High. Managed a metric century (63.7 miles = 102.5 km). Ate some marmite. #sanantonio #cycling #bicycling

A duck family on the San Antonio river, with several ducklings.

More treasures from old boxes. 1. Warcraft 3 Collectors edition. 2. Old Kid Pix 5.25 floppies. 3. Under a Killing Moon adventure game box. 4. The old Red Alert 2 box (they removed the twin towers from the box after 9/11).

Old RA2 box, pre 9/11 change (the Twin Towers are prominent in the Soviet attack on NYC).

One of the things about being Jewish is that the calendar ritually mandates that you be sad some days and joyful other days regardless of what is happening in the world, and I think about that every time Jews get slaughtered on a ritually joyful day.

HUGE FLIP: Democrat Catelin Drey wins deep-red state Senate seat in Iowa, breaking the GOP's supermajority. Drey won by 11 points in a district Donald Trump carried by 11 points last year. It's another massive overperformance. The Iowa GOP should be very worried for the midterms. Our full writeup:

Iowa Democrats win massive upset to break GOP supermajority

Catelin Drey's victory may portend more good news for Democrats next year

So they found a 125,000 yr old Neanderthal fat rendering plant & I have thoughts. Knowing that they loved saturated fat SO MUCH that they industrialized to get as much of it as humanly possible? Makes me feel seen, heard, supported, etc www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

With prices going up, here are some common substitutions for eggs in your recipes. 1 egg roughly = - ¼ cup applesauce - 1 tbsp ground chia/flaxseed + 3 tbsp water - ¼ cup puréed, silken tofu - ¼ cup yogurt or buttermilk - 2 tbsp arrowroot powder + 3 tbsp water Bon appétit!

Incredible to me that this is happening when San Antonio: - Did not ban institutional investors. - Has not banned RealPage. - Did not crack down on landlords intentionally keeping units vacant (and writing off losses.) - Has not enacted rent control. - Has not mandated inclusionary zoning.
