We are all Haskell programmers, it's just that all of us are lazy but most of us are still deferring executing.

...I like to listen to #doommetal because it makes me feel triumphant when I can conquer and fully own all the ranges of my emotions.

(Local NC metal is top tier stuff)

Rameses B did a Drum 'n Bass remix of Podrick singing, lol!

I just looked at an article about the "Bio" certification. I'm not looking to get it but am basically following that process, at home, and by hand.

Also someone else from the US asked if the plants I am growing are organic. I wanted to answer with snark but then realized I had no idea what they meant since "organic" has no definite and unambiguous meaning in the US. So I just said "yes".

I know CH has the "Bio" certification but I haven't looked into it at all. I figure as long as I use compost as fertilizer and keep tending the garden by hand there won't be any controversy.

Plants must think I am a cold hearted bastard.

"Did you prepare your soil?"
"No, I just pulled out all the healthy weeds by hand and then tilled it."
"Did you germinate the seeds indoors before transplanting them?"
"Nope I just directly sowed."
"Did you fertilize them at all?"
"No but once they sprout I'll put down some mulch."

Its so bad. Season 1 had a great plot which the great actors and great make-up artists and CGI could use to overcome the absolutely terrible writing and directing.

Season 2 decided to make the plot absolutely horrible, which tipped the whole thing over to being a polished turd. The actors, make-up artists and CGI folks were still wonderful.

The writers that think Every. Conversation. Should. Be. Dripping. With. Drama. Should be fired.

One day, the last person to have remembered when Numa Numa was the top viral meme across the internet will pass away.

Ich habe heute 56 Knoblauchzehen gepflanzt.

Worked in the garden today.

LOL the mastodon.technology local timeline is 60% people identifying themselves with a centralized key service.

No thanks, folks!

RIP #NotreDame

I am just very fortunate to have visited it before it was destroyed.

The pen is not high $ loss thankfully. Considering how long I had it ($25 and 5 years). The notebook was scrappy and cheap too. So it really is just an emotional loss.

I cried quite a bit. My first fountain pen of 5 years and my bullet journal went through the wash. Devastation.

No more FOSSDEM contacts nor notes, all my tasks gone, a piece of me erased. :(

Also instead of doing "advertisements" or "sponsors" in the podcast episodes, I am thinking of doing short unpaid shout outs to Fediverse software and the software developers working on them.

That way it is an AP podcast mentioning fediverse software and devs with fedi-made music and episode art.
