@futurebird Rory can't catch flies, but the grasshopper he got that one time was his favorite thing ever. Well, since the mouse.

@IanDSmith Achillean task: you're really good at this. Just don't fuck up one specific thing.Thesean task: no part of your original plan or instructions will remain by the time it's done.Hermetian task: your entire job is to courier messages back and forth between other people.Odyssean task: the vast majority of your time will be spent on sidetracks.Pandorean task: you're going to regret doing this, but you just can't let it go.

@futurebird I don't read horror per se but that's also a theme I've found fascinating. There's a whole subset of anime that focuses there, that I watched as a teen, so it'll be dated now but they handled some topics impressively well. NGE set a high bar early on.

@stfn *communist pickup trucks. You have to share the cab with strangers!! I can hardly bring myself to write the word "share."

@wfk @stfn I don't have an answer for that. It is very rude of you to bring up something my world view does not encompass.

@stfn @wfk @8petros "Tarpan Honker" omg. I would take better care of that car than my own body.

Rory and I both like to stretch in our sleep. Happy #Caturday!

It's been a multiple stress naps kind of day.

@ricci they're an important source of vitamin Ch, as my mom would say. I think it balances out on the healthy side.

@ricci yeah, and to have it reported initially as a suicide? To address the campus as if he did it to himself, and anyone feeling things about it is overreacting? It's looking grim.

@futurebird you're engaging in a social event and excluding her! I've been trained to stir the food in Rory's dish and watch him have a few bites before I can eat anything, or before making coffee.

Hey #espresso #makers (pun intended), I think I found the source of my leak and I need to replace a part. I don't know what it's called or where to order it. Help?This is inside a Gaggia Classic Pro (pre enshittification, US voltage if it matters) and it's the T connector that connects to the steam wand and the pressure valve that I put in as part of a kit from Shades of Coffee. Also, what are the insulation and the heat-safe metal sticky tape called? I definitely need more of the tape. I have about 13 other types of tape on hand but not this kind.

@strypey appreciate this. I can't stomach going over to YouTube anymore and just ... don't. Having to deal with the ads and algorithms is a bridge too far now that I'm not used to them. The easiest de-Googling step for me, somehow (no judgement if it's not that way for anyone else though).

I am delighted to report that a soldering iron with a blunt tip (I had a knife tip on hand but I think a horseshoe ought to work too) works to melt the cut ends of paracord and similar polymer cords. This is really great because I have multiple soldering irons and zero ways to generate flame at the moment.

@futurebird @Zwifi how are you currently teaching that debugging is a skill and part of what they're learning? Do they take notes on, or see presentations of, how bugs (including typos) were identified and fixed? Maybe even presenting to each other the problems they each got stuck on, or debugging as a class on occasion so they can see the process in real time while they're not currently panicking?
