Just in case anybody gets the wrong idea that you can't run Windows malware on Linux, don't get too smug. Wine can totally run a lot of that stuff.

Today's attempt at trying to trick me into running Windows malware on Linux is a fake Office Depot receipt. I've never given them that email address nor asked for an emailed receipt, but I'm pretty sure they don't send those as Excel spreadsheets. *delete*

My suppliers still don't have all the coffee I want to buy, but I'm having shipped some coffees from Colombia and Guatemala that I had previously contracted (about 1400 pounds). I'm also getting a very expensive coffee from Ecuador that'll be my next limited edition offering.

So, cats, right?

It looks like I still have the high score in @chest_bot

Who will knock me off the top of the leaderboard?

I have a vaccine appointment. The site I registered with has a very bizarre failure mode if you try to use Firefox to get the appointment and I can't for the life of me figure out how they managed to break things in the very specific way that they did (using Chrome, you enter your registration code and get the page to choose your appointment.With Firefox, it instead takes you to the survey for doing the initial registration and errors out a few pages in because you've already done that step).

The cat wants to help. What does she want to help with? Don't know.

Someone accidentally left their cane at my shop. Fortunately, their phone number was on it so we could try calling them to let them know where they lost that. Unfortunately their voicemail box was full so we couldn't leave a message.

I've registered to be notified when it's my turn to get vaccinated.

I wrote a guide for PS4 players of #GenshinImpact on how to access the current web event since lots of people are having trouble with that. Step 6 is Install Linux on your PC.

Saw 12 birds in my back yard this morning.

The cat is going wild for the smell of hand sanitizer.

Someone on a forum wanted to know how Hu Tao did against one very specific enemy so I recorded a solo no buff attempt for them. The build is still in progress (all the artifacts will eventually get replaced and one of them isn't even levelled at all) and there's a lot of room for improved player skill, but she got the job done.

The old batch tag printer broke (I've sort of fixed it but it's not especially reliable ) so I ordered a new one which arrived today. I'll need to mess around with that a little more because there are two ways to print a batch tag in Typica. One of them works exactly as expected while the more convenient way chops off the left side of the tag. The older printer had the opposite problem, which is why both methods exist, but I should really get to the bottom of that and make both ways work.

Got an unreasonably over-packed box today, but I don't mind because I was running low on packing material.

It's an electric gooseneck kettle (adjustable temperature), a small scale that looks appropriate for timing and weighing shots of espresso, a double wall glass dripper, a glass server, and a cupping spoon.

The brew kit retails for something like 4 times the cost of the class, so that's pretty crazy. I could see someone signing up treating it like a big discount on the brewing equipment and getting my roasting class thrown in for free.

The next class I'm teaching has a sponsor that's sending a nice brew kit to everybody in my class and I guess I'm getting one, too. It's been a while since I got any new coffee brewing equipment.

Saw a good dog on the way home today. Its human was confused, but the dog was good. Also saw an idiot nearly drop his lit joint into his gas tank so that was scary.

cat: *trying to pet me*
