The cat is upset that I saw her fall off the couch.

Tried out an HDMI capture thingy and its passthrough is not very passthrough-y. Introduces enough delay to make rhythm games unplayable. Oddly, the USB side of that is better. Watching the OBS window I get less terrible. Pretty sure it's not just me because as soon as I unplugged that I went from not clear to personal best.

figure eye contact, phantom, spooky 

Konpaku Youmu is always ready for Halloween.

Replacement fan for the roaster cam arrived just before closing. That's installed now and it should work a lot better.

The fact that Doc from back to the future pronounces it "Jiggawatts" suggests he's only ever read it, and that he's entirely self-taught

A friend of mine who teaches elementary school, taught her class, “don’t yuck my yum”

It was like a class mantra, all the kids knew and understood the phrase. So, if a kid brought a bean burrito for lunch, and another kid said “gross! I hate beans” burrito-kid could just say “don’t yuck my yum”

It became the perfect phrase when one student liked something another student hated it. Quickly, it moved from the tangible (food, smells, textures) to the intangible (music, religion, quality)

By the end of the year “don’t tuck my yum” was woven into the culture of the class. They actually used the phrase LESS by then, because yuckers would check themselves before tearing anyone down.

And that class of second graders moved to third, secure in the knowledge that it’s ok to love the things you love, even if other people don’t.

@technomancy Just inline everything into main(). What do you mean it doesn't work like that?

Can we make it a thing where we say men who can keep their mask up can keep something else up?

How to get on the bad side of your barista: Insist on trying to order some stupid made up drink that's not on the menu and won't even taste good, keep taking off your mask, fail to flush the toilet.

Some new mugs arrived today, but not the Christmas Sloth mugs.

@cpsdqs Right, and with a lot of things using cross platform abstraction layers that trick would be nowhere near as universal as you could expect pre-OSX.

@cpsdqs In the old days you could just open the application in ResEdit and delete/edit something like that.

It looks like the place I get my water filters from had a mis-pick at their warehouse. Received cartridges that probably fit my filter heads, but they're smaller and do entirely different things to the water so hopefully they can figure out a way to take the wrong filters back and send what I ordered. I have a couple slower filters that do comparable things with the water chemistry that I can swap if that takes too long so it's not an emergency, just an annoyance.

Production test batches turned out well. I'm seeing about updating some blends to use that next.

9 is representative of what I'm looking for in a dark roast for this coffee, while 12 is just perfect for something that you'd sell not as Guatemala Antigua but as French Roast, and since my Brazilian coffee isn't here yet I think I'll try that.

6 is firmly in line with what I've done with this lot in the past for a medium roast. It was a toss up between this and 5 for that, and 6 was just generally a nicer roast. Better body and balance, more interesting flavor. Coffees in this range had a very nice caramel fragrance straight out of the roaster.
