Sweet, I’ll add it to the list of breaches where my personal info has been compromised https://apple.news/A9Pm2sn6_R0muvvXgMLp36A

First Apple Store I’ve been to with an art gallery in the basement. Carnegie Library + Apple feels like a great fit #dc

just got a tos change update from gedmatch, they now require a specific opt-in for law enforcement to use your dna 🧬 obviously cold case resolution rate will take a hit, wonder what other downstream effects we’ll see

“What is the cost of lies?” Ok so the message was as subtle as a jack hammer but the comparison is apt. Climate change is our slow moving, tho not quite inevitable _yet_, Chernobyl. Also, Emmys for everyone involved in the production of that show.

Keynote time! #WWDC

Another successful weekend of baking bread, this time a Parmesan sourdough 🥖

S8E5: the episode that was promised #GoT

HBO, keep pumping out shows like Chernobyl and I’ll happily stay subbed after GoT is over

can confirm, rode metro near daily for 13 years, def improvement from 2016-2019 but not enough to keep me riding when driving isn’t that much more $$. ironically on my last day taking it there was a cracked rail/fire which ruined my commute with multi hour delay, not so much as a refund offer from wmata so I was happy to say “bye Felicia” 🚇 https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/trafficandcommuting/poll-washington-area-residents-warming-up-to-metro-again-but-that-doesnt-mean-more-are-riding/2019/05/09/8c38ce56-71b9-11e9-9f06-5fc2ee80027a_story.html

tl;dr made amazing bread

left the scoby at room temp from last kombucha brew instead of putting it in the fridge, when I pulled it out it had a funk to it which I realized could be used as a sourdough starter, also ended up using the excess heat from the kombucha to warm the yeast. this is the first loaf I’ve made that I can say I’m proud of 🥖💪
