@asonix@asonix.dog Past Sins, by Pen Stroke. It's got some good bits to it, and some cringey bits to it. It's _clever_ and thought-provoking in ways few fanfics tended to be early on.

Bodies (CW: Medical, Gross) 

Documented for later:

Lunch was a quart of egg drop soup and three spring rolls. Dinner was most of a piece of spinach garlic naan and a pear. When I haven't been nauseous, I've been exhausted. I just barely avoided throwing up twice today and didn't manage to avoid it once.

Great Work I hate being sick.

How far to come in so little time.... 

I'm feeling so sufficiently ill that I'm kind of glad I opted out of getting high tonight. =x.x=

@wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net Typically I do; that's why I clone boxes and build dummy environments, as well as extensively print out what I'm doing and the results of my scripts.

@wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net Well, arguably, if any tool won't do what you want it to do, it's not the right tool for the job, but you can almost always shoehorn in what you want into any particular tool, presuming you work at it enough. As I used to hear in college a lot, you can write FORTRAN in any language.

@wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net ... er, ! -d <dir>. Forgive my booleans. I was home sick today and clearly not coherent enough to remembe which way my tests work. =x.x= This is why I prefer dev to sysadmin work. I get an IDE, instead of a terrifying root prompt.

@wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net I'd say test the existence of the directory before making it, then. ( if [[ -d <dir> ]]; then mkdir -p <dir>; fi)

@wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net I mean, I'm totally willing to believe that there isn't and this is a grotesque oversight, but I'm disappointed to discover something so seemingly obvious missing from a tool with such a broad adoption base.

@wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net ... surely there's a way to invoke "mkdir -p", isn't there?

... so I'm home sick today because the inside of my stomach would rather be on the outside. So I chose to use the time to finish Opus Magnum.

There's a prize for finishing the main quest during early access, which I discovered because I beat the main quest and it said "congraturation!" It's... apt. Very apt.

US-pol breaking 

Former Trump campaign advisor plead guilty to lying to Mueller's team. This was kept secret for three weeks until today.

This will be one hell of a day!

Opus Magnum (Spoiler) 

Lead into gold without mercury.

It's a tower of Hanoi. It's a tower of frippin' Hanoi construction. Look at this beautiful thing.

Bandaza 

Hey, everybody! The mail inviting folks to Bandaza this year has gone out, but my charming wife thinks that there are too many people on my To: line and that I'm going to get spamtrapped. So, if you think you ought to have gotten one, and you don't, check your spam trap or DM me and I'll see if I broke something.

This is also a clever way of saying if you want to come, I can probably forward you an invite.

@DialMforMara Something very similar! Though I would stick with the baking instead of doing anything stove-toppish purely because "stuff is in the oven" is a great time to sit and talk and have a reason to talk and forget that stuff is in the oven.

Real Talk 

Okay, for real. I want to make a video series that starts with me hitting the bong and then proceed into trying to make cookies, bread, and other stuff with the oven.

Twice Baked: Biscuits with th' buni

It's funny, 'cause "baked" is a double entendre, but then "biscuit" means "baked twice," so "baked twice" shows up twice, so it's a double double entende, so the title is like a cryptic crossword clue.

... my head is just _like_ this, folks.

I'm going to eat this entire damned loaf of bread tonight. My _stars_ this is amazing.

Great Buni Bake-Off 

I didn't get an intermediate photo of the rise, but @KoBunny​ got a photo of the finished product and @adeptomega​ got one of the crumb once I cut into it. The smell of this loaf is _amazing_, and the texture came out perfect. @ElectricKeet​ called it manna.

I think it's a cracking buni loaf. awoo.space/media/ou9QuBAmO7-aU awoo.space/media/lOt_adJ69GLEz

Great Buni Bake-Off 

@DialMforMara If I had a classic range, that'd work great! As it is, I have a separate induction cooktop from an in-wall double oven, so I have to get a little more creative.
