too many tacos update
When Grubhub cancelled one of the duplicate orders, the delivery driver had already collected them and was left in the lurch. I paid them the difference, and they were incredibly relieved.
I now have way too many tacos.
this cyber dystopian future is weird, grubhub
Accidentally ended up with $90 of Taco Bell instead of $30 because their app developers CSSed an upgrade banner over their ordering page, and it broke order tracking.
This is doubly funny to me when (also as full disclosure), I’ve looked at that code before and have a fair idea of why it broke. 🙃

A:, my disk, my floppy disk
B:, another disk to run
C:, the name I call myself
D:, another partition
F:, a network-loaded drive
H:, my home dir far away
Z:, the last I can assign
And that brings us back to

Age of Wonders 3 is free on Humble atm! It's probably my favourite 4X, and has a good balance of "Heroes of Might & Magic mixed with Civilisation" kinda gameplay.

Progress!

Hey frens!
There's a Lyft and Uber strike scheduled for tomorrow (Wednesday, May 8th) from 7am to 9pm. Using their services at all during that time constitutes crossing a picket line.

Called my reps to endorse opening an impeachment inquiry and to pressure Bill Barr. It might not seem like much, but that’s the political calculus they’re figuring out right now, and every call helps.

Try not to Uber on May 8, 2019, because Uber drivers are striking that day.

"allowing the demon to devour you is a dangerous proposition, but it's worth the risk".

open request to talk, not a subtoot
Also, I’m opening up to talk if folks want to, especially ahead of a major convention.
I’ve lost touch with a bunch of folks due to lack of time and emotional energy over the past couple years. If you’d like to assess where things are, to ping me for a status update, or to conspire on convention plans, feel free to DM me.
Oh yeah, I'll be at BLFC this year.

Slowly getting the hang of how this 3D pen is supposed to work.

When AI is asked to get to the finish line, it tends to build a very tall robot that gets there by falling over.
I copied that strategy and almost broke Simone Giertz's robot workshop. (Sorry!)

Neighbor complimented us about our freshly-pruned lawn.
Is this... what... adulting... feels like?
