Is annoying to watch Twitter flub revenue. Digital sticker market is personally incomprehensible, but it's still a huge business!
Sound stressed - need a fruit smoothie and a sandwich?
I'll touch on food security. My area is for the first time having food pantries regularly run out of food. This is new in recent memory, likely a century. Unmilled grains keep for years in right conditions (see old viable wheat found in centuries old thatching in UK). LDS has guides on how to plan and rotate shelf stable foods.
I could see myself getting sucked into badge land and hating myself but being unable to leave behind all my beautiful badges.
Yeah, lots going on at work. The good news is that I *think* someone did some calculations wrong and because they had bad numbers a number will be twice as good as people thought it was going to be and that will ease some of the pressures. The problem is that I am about 99% sure I am right but the people in charge of those numbers may not be able to admit they were wrong for political reasons (they measured over a timespan where one activity hadn’t been going on for as long as another, and then compared the two without adjusting for it. I took an average daily volume measurement going back several months so the time would be equal because duh and we’d have seasonality taken into account and the benefits were over double) so I am anticipating a huge fight on Monday.
The food insecurity thing is so dumb and just because I’m crazy from my own childhood but at any thought of anything bad happening to my son I just have to do something. So I bought a bunch of premium Costco dirt and seeds and deciding to add farmer to my list of jobs I don’t have time to do. Your food bank being out of food is really disturbing, though. I used to have direct contributions to charity but haven’t in a while. I need to talk to my wife about it so we can start. I hate not contributing more.
It’s not dumb. I remember being 4 and splitting a single ramen with my mother and younger sibling. Thought it was normal for several years. Somehow managed to transfer my food anxiety to husband.
Money vs ego. Ha. As cold hearted analyst I would be pleased by prospect of better numbers and ask the groups to reconcile numbers.
We had this weird sort of delusional poverty for the first half of my childhood until about eleven where my mom and dad would put everything on zero percent deferred interest promotion credit cards and then spend wildly, like Disneyland trips emptying out this weird food truck called the Schwann Man then as soon as it ended they’re be crying and fighting because they were worried they were going to lose the house. It’s like they had a genetic inability to think ahead. They still do this. One time we went to Disneyland and my parents had to call my grandfather from a pay phone because they didn’t have money for gas to drive home. He had to drive across multiple states to save them. We camped out at a gas station until he got there and my mom suggested I beg to get some food which I refused to do. In his defense my dad was also against it. When I got older my mom would call me and be like “I just got to Disneyland with your kid brother and sister but I didn’t reserve a hotel can you send me like $3k?” I was nineteen years old and saving money for college.
When my parents got divorced my mom couldn’t make anything work because he was always slightly less insane and sort of just went with her flow so I ate a lot of bread with cheese microwaved on top of it and hid in the basement so my weird Micronesian step father wouldn’t pick fights with me.
I’m so glad I’m an adult now and when I have weird things happen because of all that stuff I can just go buy Costco dirt and plant things.
I just hope I don’t give my son some kind of reverse pathology.

Sound engineering on Arietty is gorgeous.
