USPS changed the design on their schedule a pickup page. Everything is gigantic now and you have to think to unfocus the pickup location if it's not in the drop down before later steps appear. It's so bad and the whole site would be so much better if they just stopped trying to be clever.

Will anybody tell Nelke that one of her first acts as village administrator was putting a trans-dimensional ghost in charge of the grocery store? Will she figure it out for herself? #AtelierSeries

Bought a fresh supply of hair elastics. Assorted colors.

@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.
