pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

I got a Bambu printer to replace my 10-year-old Lulzbot Mini. Big improvement! Here's something funny, though: it sings when it starts and finishes a print. I wondered how that was set, and it turns out that the tune is embedded in the g-code!

Gut check: non-sleep deep rest seems interesting, but the term seems to be mostly used by nervous system bros who want to sell me nootropics. Is there another term I should be looking up for this? Has anyone I know here tried this and seen good results?

I've been re-reading the 2015 edition of The Design of Everyday Things. One interesting thing he mentions right away is that after he introduced "affordance" as a term, everybody started misusing it. We've been mixing "affordance" and "signifier" in his terms. Getting clear on the two is neat.

Accidentally did a little experiment. These four blocks were started the same day, but one bucket started in the full-strength nutrients and the other stayed in just water until today. Can you tell which?

Always. Means testing is wasteful bullshit beloved by busybody creeps. Just give people food.
Honestly, I don't care what people seeking assistance at food banks do for a living, whether they work or not, what they drive, etc.
People are hungry. Give them food to eat. Plain and simple.

This is the best looking lettuce I’ve ever grown. The adjustments to nutrients and light I made starting with these two plants seem to really have paid off. They are way greener, and are not straining as much to reach the light.

went to a tourist thing in Boston where you throw tea in the harbor. All the grownups were like "so does this mean we get rid of the tariffs now ha ha ha ☹️". So *that's* a mood.
