Work-Tech Stuff.
Nothing banishes imposter syndrome like having having the VP of Engineering say things like "I'm really impressed with how you've handled this project, I'd like to use it as an example of how engineering and devops should manage large projects moving forward."
Though in my brain. "But all I did was like.. create wiki pages for various steps... drag stakeholders kicking and screaming into meetings and take thorough notes then worked with the member of my team I was paired with to divide up the execution of everything and create a design epic with sub tasks for meetings, PoC, testing and PoC review.. and separate Epic for all the work with subtasks for the various actual work bits and some detailing of out of scope work that all of the stakeholders said was the biggest improvement we could make in the long run.. and then create another wiki home page and stories for that work... after this project."
Oh... that was actually a lot. Now that I've written it all down.

re: 420, a little PSA I guess?
It's not unreasonable at all. Lots of stuff aerosolized even by vaping sets off my asthma or triggers general allergies for me. Like itchy eyes, post nasal drip, sore throat. It sucks and it shouldn't be an unreasonable expectation to avoid involuntary exposure.
Of course, I'm gummi, gel cap and tincture person for weed. *shrug*
Kitchen Appliance stuff
I really need to get an actual dedicated slicer, everyone here loves thin sliced meat and being able to .5m-10mm cuts would be great.
But an actual commercial grade slicer is pricey and for something like a 25cm slicer, I'm not sure I trust a retail grade appliance.
Plus my poor 15 year old food processor is showing it's age. Can't sharpen the cutting bits, plastic is getting worn and loose and holy shit they really don't make food appliances like they used to looking at various reviews... and holy fuck commercial grade food processors are pricey.
Food prep, woes of delivery groceries
Welp.. safeway delivery went ~$40 over the estimate because of substitutions for items with no substitution marked...
Except it wasn't actually a substitution. It was that the 4-6lb value packs of untrimmed tri-tip where 8-9lbs.
So I have 17lbs of tri tip instead of ~10lbs
Normally I trim it before cooking but after putting everything away there wasn't really space for another 8lbs of tri-tip and I didn't feel like spending 30 minutes trimming two fucking huge cuts, so I dry rubbed two of them untrimmed, one with my traditional blend of minced garlic, pepper, rock salt & onion and the other with blacken seasoning.
Gonna crisp that fat!
Then probably put them through the slicer on the food processor and we'll have lunch meat for a week.

A helpful pair of sharks just reminded me that today, the 17th of April, is @fluxom_alt Appreciation Day!
Everyone please remember to heap as much love and support and appreciation upon Sprinkles as local laws will allow, and then slide more of that love, support, and/or appreciation under the door where the law can't see it.

I just spent a half an hour designing a seal for a fictional coven of horny witches, then turning it into a lower back tattoo for its members to wear, how's your Sunday morning going?

The problem with time travel isn't that you change the past. Do that, the future is changed, and you find yourself in the now, momentarily confused.
The problem is that for some reason to-do lists are not affected.
Why did I think I needed to "peel sacrificial potatoes"?

Dragons who are librarians
-Always know of some strange, obscure tome that is exactly the book you need (regardless of whether it's the book you want.)
-Return books late or damaged at your peril, though.
-When you're walking through the immense shelves, and you see something in the dim light ahead hanging down in front of the books. You approach. Suddenly, as you get close, you realize it's a huge, scaly tail. You follow it with your gaze up to the top of the shelf to see a pair of glowing eyes staring back at you.
"You'll want to take a right at the end of this row," the dragon says. "Then go three rows down and turn left." The tail retracts back up into the shadows above the books, and with a sudden, fluid movement, the dragon is gone.
You never actually told the dragon what you were looking for.
-"Oh you don't need a library card." *growling chuckle* "I will remember your scent."
@fluxom_alt I picked up a refurbed Steelcase Leap v2 from a local office furniture supplier for around ~350 USD about 9 month ago. It has been pretty great so far.
re: learning about racism in common US phrases
@mawr I had no idea. It was so pervasive where I grew up. I guess that sort makes sense.
@mawr Yup... I did that back in August and came out with a 40% pay increase... probably could have asked for more but I'm happy with my current employer!
@mawr I wish you luck and good raise! Tech job market is pretty wild now.
re: fellow ADHD med takers.
@Draekos I definitely recall having issues with that when I was prescribed Dex/Adderall. Granted the reason I stopped taking it completely back in the day was I had lots of emotional/anger issues when coming down from it.
Brain drugs are hard. Hopefully you can find something that works for your or figure out how to make Adderall work for you.
I eventually moved to off label Modafinil.. and after 10 years had to up the dose as over the last year and half I found it not working as well. Thankfully my current neuro was chill with that and suggested it over trying something new.
@mawr bedquarters is the best.
rice is all done.. tossed some home made sweet-hot pepper relish in my bowl with it..
Verdict: Tasty!
Damn.. kinda wish I'd made a roux to thicken it up... or had some okra.. either one of those would be like the only think of to make it tastier!
Oops. I accidentally made "red" creole when just tossing some cajun chicken thighs, peppers, onions, tomatoes, sausage and celery into a skillet...
At least what my family called "shrimp" or red creole when I was a kid.

we should replace the phrase "gig economy" with "parasitic capital"
@Earthshine what the actual fuck
