Registration is open for my next online coffee roasting class. There are several listed on the page. The one I'm teaching is "Roasting Styles Exploration".

By giving up on Xiao I now have enough wishes saved up that I'd need extremely bad luck to not pull pyro Youmu after work today. I think that was the right call. Spamming plunge attacks is fun, but slapping enemies with a cute ghost is better. #GenshinImpact

Business idea - Please steal:

Online classes and coaching for famous people (celebrities, politicians, major award winners) aiming to give them the skills to know when they should just shut up.

One of the last treasure chests I found before hitting 100% exploration in every currently released region in Genshin Impact. A character standing on the pressure plate wasn't heavy enough so I used Zhongli (who I mainly pulled for puzzle solving purposes), Amber (who is totally viable in the end game content, don't believe the tier lists), and Baron Bunny to get enough weight on both panels. Some day I hope to get Amber's 4th constellation for double the dancing bunny.

No, I'm not fixing the typo. Yup, typo. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

If they were going to keep a thing around from Lantern Right, I would have gone with this decoration, not a weirdly half deleted illumiscreen.

Xiangling practicing her walnut summoning ritual.

So are we all just not talking about how Mihoyo took away the tables that these lanterns used to be on but left the lanterns mysteriously levitating? The screen they're shining on has also been left behind. #GenshinImpact

In case anybody was wondering, hugs time lasted about 20 minutes before moving back to just hang out next to the human time.

cat says it's time for hugs

The cat was not in one of her usual spots when I got home today, but she moved to the spot that she's learned is optimal for getting belly rubs.

Decided to play Urban Legend in Limbo again, got another trophy. Not sure how I didn't get that four years ago, but whatever.

The cat is sleep singing.

The shop's web site now has the new coffee from Timor-Leste available.

Proper seasoning for pyro slimes?

The manual also bears extremely tenuous relation to reality and is probably better off ignored.

The shop got a new office printer/copier because the old one had several things going wrong with it and wow, setting that up was by far the worst printing experience I've had so far. Apparently the trick to getting a Canon printer working on a Mac these days is to not under any circumstances allow it to use its own driver software and menu dive to manually set it up as a totally generic PCL thing.
