@professor_stoke Constraints are made to be lifted.

@professor_stoke There's no need to pour all the coffee at once, and indeed you may want to only pour a little at a time to preserve heat in the original cup and maintain a longer enjoyable drinking time.

@professor_stoke You could also get extra cooling by pouring the still too hot coffee and milk into the then empty milk cup, which some might find preferable.

Did someone share one of my old videos this morning? It's also available on PeerTube:

Will be ordering another 2500ish pounds of coffee on Monday. Just replacements of things that are already on the shelf. Guatemalan coffees are unavailable through the web site until I get that shipment in and that'll be new crop. I didn't contract enough of that last year, but enough other places were long on their contracts that I could take their coffees until the new contract started.

@professor_stoke Add a small amount of coffee to the milk (instead of adding the milk to the larger amount of coffee) so you get something you can drink right away while the rest of the coffee cools. Then learn how to make coffee that's not too hot by the time you're standing in the cold.

My mother has offered to let me use her car while mine is in for repair since she's biking distance from everywhere she goes and knows that if she needs me to take her somewhere I will. Saves me from figuring out a rental because she has the same car I do. Even the same color.

The cat has declared it hugs time.

The Miku concert in Chicago that got rescheduled for September is now a TBD April-May, which I think is a sane decision. They're still selling the fancy multi-colored glow sticks that they couldn't keep in stock for her last tour that hit Chicago.

Today's deliveries included this box of mostly free cat toys. (some cats enjoy these cardboard packing materials)

New furnace filters are on the way. The shop is going to try switching from MERV 8 to MERV 13, expect the filters to require changing about twice as often.

@normand That might be tricky. She poses for the camera.

The cat likes clicky keyboards. She mashes her face into the keys to hear them click.

Might go for that. One of the places to drop off ballots is just a couple blocks from my house and I don't really want to do outdoor voting in November in Wisconsin.

Mail contained a mail in ballot request form. It included a bar chart showing how my participation in elections compares to average. I always vote so that's an above average.

The cat is expressing concern. I'm going to eat the last slice of angel food cake with strawberries. After today, I deserve it.

My work for today is not finished, but I'm giving up on it.

A fast food worker saw the whole thing and checked on me promptly so I bought some food in their drive through before leaving.
