A fascinating look at how good Amazon Prime is for Amazon, but not buyers or sellers:

This is a really good article about #SuperStraight and The Insidious Discomfort With Trans Women In Public Space | by Kat Blaque |
I, among a bunch of other people, encouraged her to publish it somewhere after she started a conversation on her community page on YouTube. I'm so happy I now have an article to share with you all.
re: Terrible game idea (stress inducing)
I think the controls for it should be a slider bar that you have to drag left and right to indicate your diaphragm position
but you have to carefully slide the mouse pointer to stay on the track or else you cause a bronchiospasm
oh wow it turns out that Synology Surveillance Station only comes with licenses for two cameras? And additional licenses are $60/camera? What the hell!
this podcast episode hit me at a particularly relevant time: https://theadhdmanual.com/2021/05/27/episode-25-thoughts-on-burnout/
I'm finally watching Star Wars IX, and it's not as bad as I was led to believe, but it also helps that I already knew all the spoilers.
Mostly I'm just amused by how so many of the characters are affecting a British accent, except for John Boyega who is going out of his way to not sound British at all.
re: Food, meat specifically
Update: I did, in fact, get a migraine from the hand sanitizer, and had to take a nap. Ugh. And now it's late o'clock and I don't have the time/energy to make a proper dinner so I guess I'm baking another frozen pizza.
re: Food, meat specifically
Incidentally, I really like the online butcher and here’s a $25 off coupon for anyone who wants to try it (and it gives me a $25 credit too): https://www.crowdcow.com/l/ue9ty84r8na
Usually ingredient boxes are stupidly overpriced but crowdcow is actually quite reasonable. They’re a little more expensive than a typical grocery store but the quality is amazing and they have a lot of specialty stuff. Also some amazing sausage!
re: Food, meat specifically
Oh they also asked me to use hand sanitizer but the sanitizer they provided was ridiculously perfumey and I think I’m getting a migraine from it. So yay for that too.
re: Food, meat specifically
The chorizo tastes pretty good but it’s the really crumbly kind. It’d go good in burritos or pozole but not so good as breakfast sausage which is how I usually use it. And I feel like the grocery store stuff tastes better. So, no reason tos witch to the butcher just for that.
Their prices are also not great compared to the online butcher I’ve been using, and of course are more expensive than the grocery store.
So I guess this butcher is good if I need a specialty cut of meat in a hurry but I don’t see myself becoming a regular. Usually I also don’t buy specific cuts of meat, I just buy what the online butcher has on special that month to experiment with things to try.
And that MSG thing is really disappointing. :(
