Unfortunately not true.

That kid is a sweet kid who has had a few cats through the war. He loves(d) them a lot. Simba was only gone a couple days.

And look what (I think) poor banking infrastructure has led to

Luke @aleofatime.com · Feb 7

My theory is US banks making it difficult for people to transfer money is to blame for this whole mess.

It started with PayPal, then crypto, then elon taking control of the treasury to drive people to x and crypto.

Wouldn't happen anywhere with a normal banking system.

If you’re a Visa cardholder you can let them know you won’t be any longer if they do business with fElon. I called and they said they’re taking comments at [email protected]. Maybe if enough of us complain they’ll pull the deal.

Went on a foraging mission to test uses for onion weed/tri corner leek.

Raw stems: good as a finisher, as you would spring onion

Pickled: tbc

Hand-made noodles with stems and flowers (and beef): yum

Dehydrated and blitzed flowers: the best so far. Like fried garlic powder but not as intense

Does anyone use Tidal with Sonos?

Can it cast directly from the app rather than needing the sonos app?

Sometimes i let Pickle sniff my drinks to see if he might like them.

I can confirm: he does not like tequila and soda

the funniest I've seen is Peter Hook using a free CD from DJ Mag for his sets, and just going ham like he's producing it live.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
