Went to get some Taco Bell. My usual order includes a couple bean burritos minus red sauce plus green sauce. This habit dates back to the early 90s

Green sauce is no longer available. Thanks, Trump. #trumptookit

@AppleAmps ah, thank you for the heads up! Gave that post an edit

@AppleAmps you too!

Hmm, this is a pretty nice news portal like we used to have in the 2000s. I should borrow some inspiration from that layout for my own news aggregator 🤔

I kinda ran out of steam for Pebbling Club toward the end of last year. But, it's possible my ADHD will swing me back around to it soonish? I have been daily-driving it for my RSS consumption for a few months now

It is kind of a fun gadget, though. Like a toaster oven just for coffee

Here’s what it looks like inside after a roast, and a little before & after of the beans

I paused a YouTube video during an ad, so they showed me another different ad on the pause screen

I hate it here

Embarrassed to say I made this same Columbia / Colombia goof in my earlier toot. But, then, I’m not an elected official with a staff vetting my official statements

@scarfwitch well, if I manage to work on it more, it should become a social bookmarking thing for folks to share stuff they find and an inbox to receive links from feeds and such. So kind of like passing shiny rocks around

@mike This is one of the things I'd like back from the days when social bookmarking like del.icio.us was more popular - fully human-powered link feeds, relaying interesting stuff found by a person @luis_in_brief @atomicpoet @surf @ben @davidimel

Got a recruiter ping from a company whose logo looks like a butthole. I don't think I can take them seriously.

The funny thing is that I don't think "logo looks like a butthole" really narrows it down

@cobalt I got it as a holiday gift, I think as part of this bundle from Sweet Maria. A bit spendy at US$500? But it comes with a scale and some starter beans

I have also tried a cast iron pan, a popcorn popper, and a Fresh Roast air roaster (basically a redesigned popcorn popper). I'd say the Behmor drum roaster is worth the upgrade from all the other hobby methods. Not quite set & forget, but pretty close. More like set and observe and make sure nothing catches on fire 😅

The size is slightly smaller than a microwave, little bigger than a toaster oven. Smells pretty great, albeit sometimes on the smokey side since the coffee skin flakes off and chars a bit. I tend to run it by a wide open window in the kitchen

@billmerrill You think there's ever like a design review meeting at these companies where someone's like "looks like a butthole" and the brand manager is like "nevertheless..."

Happened upon this web-based MOD music player and now all I want to do is listen to and then screw around with remixing & making MODs all day

https://github.com/DrSnuggles/chiptune

I still go back to thinking that MODs were my first taste of Open Source software, back before I even knew what that was. Get a MOD, like the MOD, open the MOD in your tracker and peep the patterns, rip the samples from the MOD, remix and remake the MOD yourself

I mean, the license wasn't there and some folks got ornery if you ripped their samples, but the hackability was there

My favorite thing was to hear a MOD tune and be like holy crap how'd they make that sound? View source and oh hey wow that's how they did it!

(this was even before the web, mind you)

@erosdiscordia Is that like a giant pile of cat kibble? 🐈

@erosdiscordia I think I'd have to be outside all day every day with the cats :cat_slime:

The nice thing about having written my own blogging software is that I only have one guy to get mad at if he goes off the deep end

@aud "what a year!"

"but captain (yadda yadda)"

Man plans and... some other man reorganizes the whole department. God maybe has a chuckle

No time for lunch, Doctor Jones

Get to my desk with a nice full bottle of ice water.

Open the lid and proceed to completely miss my mouth with a nice solid pour of ice water.

(did i mention this was ice water?)

@ifixcoinops now this is the kind of CW that makes me lunge for the SHOW MORE button (but then I'm a sicko)

@nomad For a bit, but now I need a nap from all that excitement

@reverendref It is quite a wake up call, especially if I'm thirsty and enthusiastic with the bottle 😅
