I see the current path as a major strategic blunder that will squander so much potential.

Drafted a letter explaining why I'm not renewing my AST license. Sent that out privately for some feedback, but the gist of it is that the people who have put in years of volunteer labor toward developing a curriculum should not be expected to pay thousands of dollars for the ability to teach that. Chasing off the people who are doing the work instead of running the training labs can only lead to a decline in the quality and credibility of the program in the long term. #coffee #prodev

Apparently I missed some drama over on coffee twitter. That's fine, leave it there, please.

Did Atelier Rorona DX get new voice recordings?

If the government shuts down, shouldn't our taxes be pro-rated?

Affectionate #cat is affectionate.

Need to remember to buy cat food tonight.

Don't need it today, but it looks like I can make 1 more batch of Holiday Blend and then I'm out of Kenya. It sold well beyond expectations.

Did plumbing.

which is a shame because after today I could use a drink. Maybe I have some scotch?

Forgot my beer at work, don't want to make a special trip to get that. Guess I won't try that tonight after all.

Buildings should be designed with access hatches around all infrastructure elements. Would make repairs/upgrades easier/cheaper/less disruptive.

I don't know where they're selling it, but the product name is "Cuppa Joe" and it's from Racine Brewing Company if anybody wants to try it. I'll be opening a bottle tonight after work.

The brewer who bought the coffee recently dropped off a couple bottles for me to enjoy so I asked how much beer he gets out of 6 pounds of coffee. The answer was 3 barrels.

Played Musynx for a while last night. I can't seem to get my hands to learn the default controls for that game but L1, X, O, R1 works well for me. Don't know what I'll do for 6K mode. Maybe rip a controller apart and wire up a proper row of buttons?

Something is wrong with the new pump 🙁

My plumber thinks he has an appropriate adapter so I can just have new ones instead of trying to get these off. I don't have the muscles for it (or a vise to hold the part in place so I don't have to work against myself).
