  • If I know long long it takes to get somewhere, I will somehow find myself leaving the house with exactly that amount of time, leaving no space for delays. This is bad. So instead I've started saying "I'm going to leave at this time, which is definitely more time than I need" and then not looking at a clock when I get there so I never find out how much closer I could cut it.

    The other strategy is to plan to eat when I get there, before whatever it is starts. I will be motivated to get there with enough time to eat.

  • She'll need to work with the home country to get baby issued appropriate citizenship and identity documents, but just to travel home? Birth cert and mother's docs should be enough.

  • IIRC the mother needs her own proof of citizenship and proof of birth for the infant.

  • News to me, I thought it was Italian.

  • Topo Chico or San Pellegrino. Sparkling mineral water in general. Gotta have those minerals, though.

  • The benefit, for me, is that it's like stuffing a piggy bank full of calmness. Later, when I need some calmness, I can reach in and grab it via the meditative practice.

  • out of curiosity, what might I use for the slideshow application?

    • built-in adblocker
    • ability to have JavaScript / sound / image loading turned off by default but with a whitelist of sites that can run / play / load them
    • built-in secure password manager
    • open-source, natch
    • native ssh and ftp
    • a button that autogenerates a metadata-free, archived link to the current page
    • bring back flash
    • can open any folder of folders of images as a slideshow
    • feeds false metadata to sites trying to fingerprint the user
    • rejects / autodeletes all but whitelisted cookies
    • built-in tamagotchi / virtual pets
  • My white-and-chartreuse vintage bicycle is "Americano". Like the cocktail, not the coffee.

  • take a nap, me

  • I agree, but I can back it up: You'd be more disappointed if the cucumbers were missing than if the hummus was.

  • Compelling argument!

  • Socratic intetjection: What's the meat in a hummus and cucumber sandwich?

  • Electronic doesn't work for me, notifications and even the act of unlocking the phone distract me. Pen and paper bullet journal are what have worked best for me. If there's anything I need to remember while I'm out, I text it to my wife, because I'll recheck that messaging thread throughout my day.

  • Counterpoint: Animal flesh is not a requirement to be called "meat".

  • English natively, but I also speak Spanish every day at work. I can read and write Latin. I can exchange pleasantries in half a dozen other languages.

  • Chaotic neutral, you love to see it

  • But would you eat a peanut butter sandwich with catsup?

  • basket, to reduce surface area and keep them hot while still allowing steam to escape so they stay crispy
