Some thyme, cornmeal, and a dash of sugar and salt have come along to spice up the party! Here's hoping all these good folks get along real nice.

Now the corn joins in on the fun and the heat goes down a bit so everybody can take their time getting to know one another.

One leek from @adeptomega 's garden joins half a red onion in some butter for a quick sweat.

The cooking begins: Creamèd Cörn.

First important order of business: I bought some real knives and the means to protect them. #bandaza

In lighter news, the last big shopping trip has happened, and the cookening can begin!
... I may have just bought $400 worth of cooking gear including several new knives. =>.>= But that's entirely on me, 'cause I wanted new knives.
Photos to come this time for sure, I promise! #Bandaza

Somebody designed a Brainfuck interpreter in... Opus Magnum.
ALCHEMICAL.
COMPUTER.
Internet over. Everybody go home.
And now it's time to be an adult. Unpleasant.

Hot water crust pastry defeated me for the moment. I've never worked with it before, and I ought to know it's all a learning experience, but I spent a chunk of the day making orange-vanilla curd and... well, stuff went weird this morning and I just don't have the emotional bandwidth to tackle another complicated learning challenge today.

buni baking will continue tomorrow or some other time when I have the spoons to face confusion and ambiguity.
Right now is not that time.
Writing
TFW in order to write the thing you need to write, you have to reference a scientific paper, and in so doing possibly break your own head.

@literorrery @IrisKalmia @kelseyhusky SAME.
If software engineering had official regulated standards to adhere to, it might slow down development but at least we wouldn't have so many instances of "it compiles [and has unprotected access to private user data]? GREAT! Ship it!"
Compliance with SOX, PCI and EU privacy laws are as close as we've gotten to proper responsibility in that regard & it's nowhere near enough. Having the autonomous power to show-stop over security concerns'd be a GODSEND.
buni screeches in all-caps, cussin'
CONSENT IS FUCKING IMPORTANT IN SOFTWARE AND IN EVERYTHING.
SOME PEOPLE CHOSE YOUR DAMNED BROWSER BECAUSE IT'S CHUNKY AND OLD WHICH MEANS FAMILIAR AND NON-THREATENING. CHANGING IT TO KEEP UP WITH THE PAGES JUST PISSES ME OFF, AS DOES ENTIRELY ELIMINATING THE ABILITY TO RUN MY OLD EXTENSIONS IN A SANDBOX. I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE HIT; I CARE ABOUT NOT SEEING PEOPLE'S SHITTY JAVASCRIPT ADS.
FUCK.
Firefox just quantumed me, and they didn't ask first.

I want to come back here with a group. The garlic sauce was incredible, they have eight different sauces and they're almost all spicy. Fried rice, add-ins for the hot pot, and hot oolong.

Hey, @irisjaycomics and @makyo. Check out the garlic catfish at JoyFish on Aurora. "Grilled Fish in a Hot Pot."

being an adult is hard. boost if you agree
Work, Affirmations
In ten minutes, I'm meeting with the VP of Engineering to promote the project on which I've been working for the last ten minutes. My only teammate has an interview and my manager has the flu. I have a wiki page of architecture and sequence diagrams, a code base, and the strength of my convictions to carry me through this meeting.
I will be okay. My work is valuable, my skills worthwhile. I am able to speak to my own efforts successfully, and I can be as convincing as I need.
