First-World Whinge
I wish I could get paid for my words and my struggles to find the meanings within them, instead of my tech bulldada. I feel like my words are of so much more value than my tech noises, but my tech noises have ended up being worth so much more than my words. The world often feels very hollow to me because of it.

Fucksakes, Cumcrust Retention, how many times do I have to say, "Comcast is an oligarchy, I'm a socialist" before you stop trying to justify my cord-cutting on your service issues. Even if I had service issues, what was I going to do, threaten to leave unless you fixed them?
Mind you, CenturyLink ain't better, just another corporate overlord, but at least they haven't withheld lube or demanded two months' free rent for the privilege of leaving. Yet.

Today's bad idea: open a business called Bitcoin Bakery. Sell bread via the internet, 1 BTC a loaf. Accept only BTC and post a mission statement saying that, as a reserve currency, bitcoin holds no value whatsoever on its own. Therefore, this site exists to let people buy something material with their bitcoin. Liquidate all BTC upon purchase. Bake bread.
i've thought about giving my lit zine it's own masto account, but for now, i'll just do the occasional toot on its behalf.

Okay so a slightly awkward(?) general clarification given I've seen this come up twice in as many days and a couple other times since I mentioned it last month?
"Glowtide" is not the name of a specific party or set of parties at a particular location; it is the name of a holiday season. That is like one of the only things about it that I'm going to be a bit uptight about, because I don't WANT it to start feeling like it's a concept I own manifested by events I'm involved in. :)

Experiment with the TVP was a moderate success!
I say "moderate" mostly because it's tasty but I expected it to be... fluffier? Crunchier? It's flavorful enough and doesn't detract from the soup but I thought the texture would have held up better. Then again, I did throw it into a crock pot after I fried it. Regardless, it added a smoky garlicky note to the pea soup without really getting any other soy after effects.
I'ma do this again.

Kugelhopfen came out fine. I have a new base recipe I need to write down so I can stop referencing Luis' from GBBO. =>.>=
