@skinnylatte (takes notes) rye bread in Monterey...
I'm sure I'll make it back to the Aquarium one of these years. Maybe sooner!

@skinnylatte I'm a little bit allergic, so I would have the More Butter Blues at a place like that.
And more power to you for finding and sharing the good places! People should try things, and a café-bakery is an easy start.
@inthehands I have been so pleased that my revival of Tamsin's Weatherpixie project has now been online for months and months, rock steady except for a whoopsie when the National Weather Service switched to a new GoDaddy endorsed cert not in my original cert bag and suddenly all the reports were TV static.
@inthehands My pixel art avatar salutes MSP's rugged hardiness!

alt text = "a cloudy day scene, with light snow, showing a standing figure dressed for cold in a blue coat with a Cascadia douglas fir flag, yellow mittens, black pants, yellow boots, a yellow knit hat, a long black-and-white scarf wrapped around mouth and nose, and a clear visor over a pale face."
(maybe too busy a day for media uploads)
@inthehands A packet of raw SVGs might be an interesting adjunct. Map outlines, scenes, maybe little animations?
But that's me who came up via the W3C SVG primer and rewrote Hunt The Wumpus in SVG. http://aristobit.com/svg/wumpus.svg
PaperJS is a reimplementation of a fancy vector design app in JS + HTML Canvas. My fan art picture frame app uses PaperJS.
And then there's Observable.
Inkscape should be fine. I had strange behavior on Win10 starting in the background and hooking too many file types.
@skinnylatte oh it's a grand scale grift, and if you're well positioned, you can make out like a bandit, tax-free.
It is a loophole that folks have driven megayachts through.

@inthehands I appreciate how your line of argument chimes with Fred Brooks' "No Silver Bullet", along the lines of essential complexity of the problem and the solution matching up, except the comparison here being the embedded understanding (hopefully) in code written specifically for the problem, versus the embedded unchecked assumptions in generated code.
Novel software libraries have a similar problem: easy to adopt, not necessarily easy to evaluate.
@inthehands oh ouch you just hit me in (current job) better than Excel and (previous job) automated response substituting when it should be augmenting human support agents.
@skinnylatte Microsoft OneNote is a moray eel colony, defends its turf and holds on tight to its pages in a set of tabs / tunnels.
@inthehands I had been thinking that the 25th Amendment on succession and competence was getting sandbagged by the Cabinet appointees being picked for loyalty first.
@inthehands ungrounded beef is regrettably common
@inthehands I am impressed with how prophetic the satire Network appears to have been about the dynamics of public outrage escaping containment. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Network_(1976_film)
and hopefully that final parenthesis links, or I'll come back and urlencode it.
@thomasfuchs <3 I will miss your desert photos. I used to live in Tucson and I treasure the reminders of how alive the high desert is.
@inthehands oh oops, why did I misread and think of Boulder? bike town X university town I expect.
@inthehands I figured you might be aware as a mountain dweller, and you had mentioned riding as a change, so it occurred to me. My friend Megan has been on an adventure getting her electric quad cycle repaired recently and probably has thought through long-term accessibility factors for bike as routine transport, so I will point her toward your BikeDiary thread.
@inthehands Alongside skin, UV eye exposure is another possible concern; my dad has been a daily bicycle rider for decades and eventually had cataract lens replacement; though it's not uncommon as a general procedure these days.
@inthehands <3 "Ha ha, only serious", and "Ha ha, hilarious!" are best as friends in these times, sharpening and enlivening together.
@inthehands the circular filing fling.
@inthehands I smothered a hearty chuckle in a layer of stiffly beaten foam.
