I just don't know that there is anything quite like the magic of fermenting your own food or growing a plant.

After being sick for more than two weeks straight I took myself out for a little walk this afternoon and encountered this fine creature enjoying a rainy supper.

Trying to decide on the most appropriate and magical term for my basement canning closet/pantry. is it a root cellar? a dry larder?
It's where we store flour & grains, preserves, wine & spirits, extra jars, bottles, & canning equipment, garden seeds, herbs & spices.

I have decided to come back here and just pretend it's 2009 twitter, but now I'm older, wiser, more chaotic, and a better bread baker.

If you can substitute "hungry ghost trapped in a jar" for "AI" in a sentence it's probably a valid use case for LLMs. Take "I have a bunch of hungry ghosts in jars, they mainly write SQL queries for me". Sure. Reasonable use case.
"My girlfriend is a hungry ghost I trapped in a jar"? No. Deranged.

three months after putting a bird feeder on the dinning room window a squirrel tried to partake in the feast. it jumped onto the little roof over the food and I scolded it. Startled, it jumped off and landed on the windshield of the car where it slid gracelessly onto the hood.
I'm still chortling.

today I acquired a large squash and managed to roast it, puree, and portion it into freezer bags.
all in the same day.
absolutely unheard of.
feeling a little disappointed I didn't leave it on the table for weeks on end so I could admire its squash charm daily.

the collective noun for too many persimmons is a blessing of persimmons.
I have been so blessed that I'm baking a spiced persimmon loaf and yet I still have a whole bowl full of them.

I took a break from this app for... a month or two??... and now I feel compelled to remind us all that doing the things we want to do is usually difficult & uncomfortable at first (or always). But you will never get to that thing you want if you aren't willing to have the whole experience
