@gemlog If you’re asking the question, then probably, yes!

@gemlog Ok great. Basically the question was, what is chia doing there? It’s an unusual ingredient, I would say.

@gemlog Sounds good, is there a thought for the chia seeds? Haven't seen them in burgers before. (Kinda related, always on the lookout for a _good_ veggie burger recipe, for when the urge goes that way.)

@evan Do they have Bailey’s?

@gemlog @swart There have been a few, including at least one where the guy in charge throws his underlings under the bus.

@gemlog @swart No, I'm sure a member of Parliament has time to hand-write an 877-page report on something.
Apparently she was a crown prosecutor, so there should be enough brain cells in there to get that people will look closely at things.

@swart @gemlog DON'T MENTION THE WAR!

@swart @gemlog I think the one I had was Aztec C. Besides writing terrible little utilities for myself, I think I mostly had fun tweaking other programs' source. There was an amusing program called "mischief" bundled with it, which appears to be this one from Fred Fish #222: https://aminet.net/package/misc/fish/fish-0222

@gemlog @swart And then moved on to BSDs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DragonFly_BSD

@gemlog Can you escape the backslashes, say with more backslashes?

@evan I used to, but really only needed WebDAV, so dropped all the PHP and database for that.

@gemlog That still sounds fun to play with. I have one disappointing light purchase, wonder how hard it would be to override the controller. Picture a large, LED-based bedroom fixture. The included remote can change the colour temp to warm, and the whole thing can be dimmed down a fair bit. Sounds great, right?

Except... if turned off and on by the wall switch, or a power fluctuation occurs, it comes back on in default mode, blazing sun only. All I want is a remember-last-set setting.

@gemlog That's a great start!

@gemlog Oh good! I mostly come across python2 stuff when trying out some random tool online that is still that way. Mostly a bit of fixing, "oh, this bit broke" repeatedly, until it either works or I give up. The last one I just ended up rewriting in Haskell, because the original was also trying to do many, many web requests in the slowest possible way.

@gemlog Enjoy the python hacking! (BTW, try to let python 2 die peacefully if possible, it's been out of support for quite a while now).

@gemlog I did a bed of wine caps as well, though never saw much in it. (Chickens had access though, they might have gotten them.) Years later though, wine caps occasionally pop up 30' away across the garden.

We've got some plug-spawn oysters on the go... allegedly. Nothing yet there, nice and shady though.

We did try to innoculate chantarelles by blending up a few we'd picked and drizzling on possibly-compatible tree roots, nothing found though.

@gemlog Nice! What I'd like to do is figure out how to get some more of these things growing in my yard; we've got space, and trees. I did just cook up some olive shaggy parasols that have been busy the last few years, hoping for another couple lobster mushrooms once the russula they're colonizing come up.

@evan Blanket avoidance of being negative would rule out useful mechanisms as well. E.g., exposing harms by the practices of the other network, or analysis of what works (and what doesn't.)

Perhaps a useful line in the sand would be whether the negativity is the point.

@evan @mpjgregoire @timbray That is already taken to be suspicious, but I’m sure a naked Trump from that South Park episode as your Lock Screen would go over well

@lety I usually think of a cargo bike as, "bike for cargo," but I think this one is "bike of cargo."
