I was making a menu last night. I saw a recipe for salad lyonnaise. I bought the baguette, bacon, lettuce eggs. I came home and it isn’t in either cookbook I had out last night. Did I dream it?

So I’m kinda slow but I’m guessing you believe they will not support the community by bending the knee? It wasn’t entirely clear πŸ€ͺπŸ€£πŸ˜‚

And in tonight’s dinner menu, we are pretending that gnocchi is a vegetable, because I just can’t deal with more.

Actually I think it’s more about some not very wise techbros who know nothing about education and extracting the small amount of resources allocated for education.

I like is. β€œGravity skeptics” ROFLOL. It’s not gravity that kills, it’s the sudden stop by something hard at the end of the fall.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.

A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.

I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

The aws outage and canvas. The gift that keeps on giving. Still getting requests to take the exam late (due last Monday night) because β€œcanvas is glitching”. So I don’t have any reason to accept the β€œcanvas is glitching” story as 95/100 people successfully submitted the exam.

Yes. It’s annoying that many of us who have been boycotting Amazon have been using canvas unaware of its dependence on the evil empire

So canvas LMS. You’ve really, really screwed up with my classes exam due tonight. Fix this mess now. Less techbro posting and more work.

See? It works just as well for social media!

Isn’t social media a kind of minefield? Any advice? Do tell

Probably. He just snuck in for the picture. It’s a pretty inclusive group? You wanna join, sure why not?

The sad thing is that I don’t know where I would hang with planetary science peeps without LPSC. It would be like the demise of science twitter. Nothing since has quite worked.

I dislike it that people can add things to my calendar that I can’t then modify. Even worse when they add something that causes the calendar to repeatedly crash. 😑🀬😑

I swear. Two monkeys on a weekend cocane bender could have designed a more functional airport than Dulles

Of course I had to send a copy to @theplanetaryguy.bsky.social just to poke the bear.

I deleted all Adobe software from my computer long ago. They have been a bad company for a long time. The best punishment I can think of for Adobe is that they be condemned to use their own software.

You know it is the week before the beginning of the term when you start getting emails from administrators you have never heard of before with yet another mandatory thing you have to do with no release of anything to make it possible to do it. Time to retire.

The β€œwell trained dog” phrase is wholly appropriate for some.
