@dgwbirch I found it very satisfying.
@fatemehx2 There's a Korean spa in Tujunga: Descanso Garden Spa. Is there a reason you are not going to ktown? Olympic or Wi Spa are great IMO. Or you want more a Burke Williams experience (they have a Pasadena location)?
@NurtureGirl I hated that book and couldn't stand reading it. So many incorrect/biased assumptions, even thought there was some there I didn't disagree with.
Yes digital identity should be a public good/commons. Yes, we need new economic models for technology commons b/c capitalism is limited. Yes, governments are the only entity that can fund this today. Yes corporations need to pay into the commons (taxes). https://twitter.com/EmLindley/status/1460609370220335107
Spoiler alert: I won the election & it's been fucking pointless. I'm more depressed than ever about making any kind of lasting change in technology, let alone in tech standards or at the W3C. Humanity is doomed. https://heathervescent.medium.com/a-call-for-change-at-the-ccg-216f9b93cc85
Silver lining: It's all material for the writer.
@niels_klomp No comment.... yet.
I have been spending a lot of time in the kitchen perfecting my Ramen, Tikka Masala, and French Baguettes.
@SamBendett I'm kind of enjoying keeping these experiments to myself LOL. I'll see how these baguettes turn out this am.
@AllenWrench Broth: 1 clove garlic, same amount fresh ginger, saute in sesame oil. Add 6 c good veggie broth, 1 tbsp good soy sauce, 2+ tbsp good miso paste. Bring to simmer. Add shredded Dino kale or spinach, carrot, sliced shiitake mushroom. Simmer. Cook ramen separately.
@AllenWrench When ramen is done, serve with soup + add toppings: nori sheets, nori/bonito shake, corn, baked tofu (bake tofu before you start), green onion, sesame. PS. it's veggie ramen! Serve with a good sake.
@SamBendett Tell that to my belly! (And my dog.)
@AllenWrench May want to adjust things to taste + add salt. I don't really use salt that much. I also like alternate toppings/protein.
@Reverend_Dak A/b brand testing gone wrong.

image image imageToday may be Shoog's last day. We're headed to the emergency vet this afternoon for advice. She's been slowly declining these past weeks & would only eat hand fed chicken for breakfast. The life of a rescue dog mom is love & detachment. It's about their best quality of life.
@NurtureGirl Was it worth reading?
@NurtureGirl Like I commented before, I couldn't get through the first three chapters, despite not hating all of it. So I care about your opinion. I'm neutral on Graeber - and need to read that new book. I take it you liked it?
RT @adamshostack: This is your irregular reminder that this site makes a billion dollars a quarter by requiring you to put thoughts in 280…
@josh_emerson I recently heard web 3 in relation to crypto/defi and was surprised (doesn't seem web 3 to me + all the other web 3.0 explanations). Do you have any insight as to the origin of this usage? Thanks!
Update: she’s coming home and we are monitoring but the end is coming, so she’s gonna eat all the chicken and get all the cuddles and enjoy every moment. #blissandemptiness
@darrello Thank Darrell. Sharing some of those hugs with Shoog.
@jerickso Thanks John!
@bradleypallen Awe. Thank you. Wish I could do more - life offer immortality to dogs.
Has anyone written a book about coping/being ok with not realizing your potential? I would like to read it and be ok with not realizing my potential.
IDK, maybe not reaching one's potential is totally fine. I mean, did Shoog reach her potential? Does it matter that she did or did not? She's here, sleeping by my feet with a belly full of chicken, as satisfied as is possible...
This article a million times over. https://twitter.com/refuturing/status/1465540283760889858
@chrisrockhacker Oh thank you. There’s also always Alain de Bottom.
@opeksoy Good point, And also, Why does a plant reach for the light?
@BlackFish775 Thank you. She's doing much better today.
