aw... I wish she had been the splashy celeb that ran for President.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just saw that too, what a loss for the whole world.

I got my new glasses. Posted on FB.
I had misplaced my regular ones so have been wearing my really old ones and it is a huge difference and I can't tell if there are actually issues or it's just my eyes freaking out.
I CAN see my phone really clearly though so that is nice not to have to zoom in on things or try to find the magic spot of getting my phone just close enough

So sad about Dolly. Such a light in this increasingly darkening timeline.

Guys, did you know that raw garlic kills sourdough starter? Well now, so do I...
Yes! It's antimicrobial and antibacterial. One reason it's so good for you. But not for sourdough. The allicin is a bit like sulfurophane in that it's best to do a chop-and-hold method before cooking to give the compound time to form. But, unlike broccoli, I think you only need to wait about 10 minutes, not 40. Or, for sourdough, cook it right away to inhibit the allicin formation.
Question for the job-bullsh*t hivemind: What's a diplomatic way to say "Why the f*ck would you expect something before the due date just because I received it early? The due date is the due date." My scheduled is jam-packed right now and I want to set expections for a project scheduled out to March.

I am so heartbroken about Dolly. I thought she’d somehow live forever.
