There's a lot of rain. Also the cat is demanding cuddles.

Lined up another teaching gig for a few days next month.

The cat has been lured to my side with the smell of mint ice cream.

@fribbledom Imagine if they just made the camera that thick all the way down. Why, they'd have room for... user replaceable batteries? Headphone jacks?

The cat is being kind of blobby.

Wearing my raycats baseball shirt today. It glows in the dark, much like the cats who are supposed to warn our distant post-apocalyptic descendants about leaking nuclear waste that they should run away from.

I also have a bit of roasted coffee from a pre-ship sample of my next Ethiopian coffee. As a press the fragrance is amazing. There's a mild bergamot note that goes well with the fruit and floral notes in the flavor. Looking forward to getting the arrival sample.

Finally getting around to tasting the other gift coffee. This is also a little lighter than I personally would take the coffee, but it's quite nice. A bit more intensity of flavor than the other one, a bit lacking in body, but I certainly wouldn't complain about this being served to me in a shop.

I have 28GB of RAM free. What's using 300MB of swap?

@MmeLibertine No problem. Hope you enjoy it.

People on hoyolab are freaking out about my old pyro Qiqi again.

@MmeLibertine In case you didn't see the other reply, it's just vanilla syrup and mulling spices in the milk before steaming. I've been making them since before pumpkin spice was a thing. https://social.typica.us/@neal/108958361400215482

@gnomon top with whipped cream.

@gnomon pretty sure you're thinking of that. For a 16 oz double, 1 oz vanilla (most brands work), 1 tablespoon mulling spices. Adjust to taste or scale to size.

+++++++ (the cat typed this)

Someone moved my calibration weight.

@deshipu@mastodon.technology Apparently this is the rebrand of only working a 40 hour week.

@emma I'll also be doing this soon. I was just recently given some coffee that was roasted in Saudi Arabia and there's enough to do a bunch of different brewing techniques with it. I have some nice tools that were a gift from a Syrian student the last time I taught in that general part of the world.

The cat thinks I should spend more time petting the cat.
