Cake day: June 13th, 2023

  • Back in my day we didn’t have no fancy on screen keyboard built into windows! We copy and pasted from a random readme.txt file when our keyboards broke! (Or were taken away by our parents thinking it would make the computer inoperable, haha)

    It is a really nice feature now though.









  • Vox does not know the definition of melancholy.

    I would have accepted nostalgia as an appropriate sadness and joy pairing.

    Also anxiety is NOT sadness and fear. I think that should be something like despondent or despair and then the sadness-sadness would be depression.

    Likewise I think prejudice would be disgust and fear and disgust-disgust would be revulsion.

    Also is the green emotion canonically disgust? Not envy/jealousy? I only half paid attention when my niece was watching the movie.

    Why would they sweat? You just input the amount of the check, stick it in the machine to get franked, and the till opens. It’s not much more complicated than cash and way easier than damn WIC (great program, lousy execution).

    Handing them a check isn’t a problem. What sucks is when the customer pulls OUT the check book to slowly fill it out, AFTER you told them the total, while your line backs up and it fucks your metrics.


  • Awesome photos!

    Whoa you were not kidding about that being pink. Holy cow. I mean…the pink grains could potentially be garnet but I’m a little doubtful and unsteady at saying that for sure. They have conchoidal fracture and a vitreous sheen which could easily be quartz, perhaps stained by something else going on in the area (Mn? > Fe).

    Those blue green grains are fricken neato, I don’t have a good explanation for them and can’t really get a good look from the photos.

    I see a couple of green grains that could be epidote or some other green mineral, and one that looks a little olivine-esque but it’s hard to tell.

    It’s one of those things that you poke and prod and rotate and stare at for a while before giving a broad, hand wavy guess.

    It would probably be helpful to look up the location and the formation to get a better sense of what to expect.

    Either way, those are dope!
