harvesting water chestnuts is simultaneously so gross and so satisfying. It's amazing how a single year underwater turned clay topsoil into anaerobic sludge... but the plant loved it and that's what matters!

there's few enough people around here that it's probably safe to share a secret: i impulse bought these at winco yesterday expecting them to taste like cardboard because they're huge, but they taste like actual real strawberries! no cardboard-flavored ones in the whole container.

@andersonaddo.bsky.social i tried asking for a heatmap of areas that are X hours from airport A and Y hours from airport B and also it is sad. It's probably just getting the HN hug, but maybe it's also wildly out of the design tolerances to use it on the scale of distances measured in hours by car?

The "VIP unreads" thing in slack shows a "VIP" badge next to the people whose pings you ask it to place in that category. Expect some hilarious awkwardness in screen sharing before people realize the implications of this.

If you routinely encounter frogs that need to be eaten, maybe get a pet chicken to and delegate instead of trying to do everything yourself?

turns out the recommended tools for updating openbci ganglion firmware just plain don't work on android at the moment -- mysterious errors for me, but tried it on a friend's iphone and it worked fine. yay.

whoa. just realized I can ramble at claude for several minutes about a complex dependency graph, and ask it to emit a graphviz DOT file, and it just works!

free pattern time because i've finally figured out how to put a hood on the bog coat (pictured), which results in an extremely cozy bathrobe when constructed from the kind of large fuzzy blanket that's cheap at many stores this time of year.

Trying to make a walking skirt from this fabric, want the stripes to go around it circumferentially. And want the stripes to match. See the problems?

accidentally changed a logseq setting so enter doesn't make new bullets. not sure what setting. correct troubleshooting does *not* involve progressively lobotomizing it of its various settings files... but incorrect troubleshooting is a lot more fun.

"ready to use out of the box" means "ready to give a gentle warning about updating the firmware and then refuse to function on the current firmware", it seems. sounds like a tomorrow problem.
