  • I like when it insists I’m using escape characters in my text when I absolutely am not and I have to convince a machine I didn’t type a certain string of characters because on its end those are absolutely the characters it recieved.

    The other day I argued with a bot for 10 minutes that I used a right caret and not the html escape sequence that results in a right caret. Then I realized I was arguing with a bot, went outside for a bit, and finished my project without the slot machine.




  • Today I made vegetarian salisbury steaks using impossible patties, store bought broth, and fresh veggies and herbs (and some stuff I had laying around). I spent less than $15 total (costco, price per unit) on the ingredients. It took 2 hours of cooking.

    Assuming a wage of $25/hr, lower than adequate but relatively high in service fields in the US (those who work enough that delivery is super tempting), my meal cost me $65 including my labor. That’s less than it’d cost for delivery of a similar meal, is higher quality than I could get for delivery, and I’ve got leftovers for tomorrow, which I wouldn’t get with delivery.

    Delivery is a scam. Gig economy Based delivery doubly so.
