Update: Teaspoon should be stable and accessible now. It definitely seems like the problem was a bot attack, so I'm leaving Cloudflare's Under Attack Mode on for a while.

A thing I learned not too long ago is that when an LLM selects a token that leads it down an incorrect path (factually), it has no way to back up, or even know that it should back up, it's just on to the next likely bit. Literally every LLM is just posting their way through it. What an image.

A Teaspoon And An Open Mind (whofic.com) update: We're having intermittent database access issues. A reboot will probably fix it; just waiting for hosting provider to do this.

legit infuriated that the system that's made it easiest for me to track whether a couple hotel prices change in the next three weeks is ... Google Hotels mostly shit UI otherwise, but a simple tracking toggle is way better than anything Hopper or Kayak is offering

They're delicious, but I wish sometimes they were a little more strongly flavored – plus they don't really work well with chocolate, lol. I do sometimes make a gingery jam with them to serve with meats, though.

In my continuing effort to figure out what to do with the cape gooseberries we get from the CSA, I made a tiny pound cake & have turned that, the gooseberries, a bit of marmalade, and some leftover heavy cream/mascarpone into a trifle. If all else fails, pound cake & whipped cream is always a winner

1Password now fully expunged from my Mac. I have to hand it to them: their uninstall instructions were extremely clear. Sadly, so is their commitment to funding white supremacy.

Still, this is better than when she slipped into a 6" space behind the cabinet *and* the CD rack because she was so freaked-out by contractor noise.

Fairly certain the ongoing presence of so many new humans in this house has just broken Nicole. She's wandering around sniffing everything, and I just found her on top of a six-foot cabinet she's never climbed before.

OMG, you did shingles on top of the other two? Friend, you are gonna feel that. (Though at least it isn't Shingrix #2 at the same time. Do not combine that with anything else.)

AND after all this is done we can finally get the house insulated!!! There is only one (1) insulated wall in the entire house!!! (Step 0 for all of this was get rid of the knob & tube in the attic, never have we slept so soundly as the night that stuff was finally gone)

oh, no big deal, just adding heat pumps and an entire HVAC system to a house old enough to not have ducts of any kind, and next week hopefully adding new 200A panel, replacing oil furnace w/hot water heater and having oil tank/radiators ripped out thisisfine.gif

Five days of contractors in the house this week. Even Noir, who has been extremely chill, has started yelling at me about people moving her couch while she's on it. Feeling amazed I've billed a whole hour today.

Can't wait for the Boston Globe's next big article: Suburban junior high D&D group falls apart in 1986 because one member bought the Clash's first album and declared 'Rush kinda sucks' and 'it should not take 45 min to resolve a combat between two goblins and a 7th lvl party.'

"Your 1Password subscription will renew soon" like fuck it will, you've done nothing to fix your commitment to funding white supremacists, will be cancelling before my next bill comes due Oct 1
