@cwebber@octodon.social Right. You buy it when it looks like that, keep it wrapped in paper and stored two or three decades, the value goes up a lot in that time and then you sell it.

@cwebber@octodon.social You're not supposed to drink the pu'er. In China it's an investment vehicle.

What if Prolog and Smalltalk had a baby?

My sister has switched to the grey sheets in preparation for my cat staying with her while I'm out of town.

My car passed emissions tests.

After spending so long working on top of abstraction layers, it's nice to have a no priority side project where I can drop down to bare metal again.

Remember the preview for that promo video for my shop that I posted a few weeks ago? (Of course not, it only has 3 views on PeerTube) I got the full version yesterday and finally got around to watching it today. There are a couple points that I cringe at but overall I think it turned out really nice. https://video.typica.us/videos/watch/1f12990f-df8a-4e28-b77a-0d93b607f3af

Flash roasts and slow roasts done outside on a pan over a low flame probably deviate from the linear model, but the data points that I have are all so close to the regression that variation can be explained entirely by the limits of precision that I had to work with.

Today I finished making the last of the tweaks for my presentation aside from the sponsor slides where I'm going to wait as long as I can for logo files. The last graph that I wanted to add in this time around shows pleasantly tight data around a regression line showing how coffee mass at blanch point changes depending on how long it takes to get there (3 to 7.5ish minutes: that covers the vast majority of production roasts of specialty coffee).

My cat is like Clippy. "I see you're trying to eat breakfast. Would you like to pet the cat?"

Hat detail

The shortcut to success. Also, I like Shallotte's hat. My winter hat is similar. #AtelierSeries

That's just how fishing villages are. #AtelierSeries

Best combat skill. #AtelierSeries

It's 2:40AM. Time to hug the cat, local cat says.

Also, it looks a little bit like Nessie.

The really neat thing about that mass rate curve is that you can see as first crack is finishing, the rate of mass loss settles back down to where a linear progression from pre-1C would have been (until 2C kicks in and pushes mass loss rate back up again).

Rate of temperature change and inverse rate of mass change overlaid. This combination of measurements gives you a strong visual indication of blanch point, first crack, and second crack even if you have no idea how my machine calibrates compared with yours. It's also a mess.
