Holidays is when you figure out that burrata is perfect with white and yellow nectarines and (real!) Aceto Balsamico, and that buffalo mozzarella really needs some (real!) cold-pressed olive oil and a dash of salt on top of that.

"lots of travel" is the realization that your shower habits at home have fully adapted to how North American showers work.

I.e. leaving the water running while getting out of the water stream to soap up as you're used to never touching the controls lest you make the water ice cold or scalding hot. And that "water on/off" is directly tied to temperature control.

@RichiH The single control knob is common, but not exclusive. Some older American showers (most commonly those attached to tubs) have two knobs for independently adjusting hot and cold just like a sink. These seem to have fallen out of favor.

I've also seen coaxial levers with a big outer arm for water flow rate and a smaller mix ratio knob at the center for adjusting temperature. This is my favorite and I'm hoping to find one when I renovate my falling-apart 1970s bathroom.

@RichiH Yep, all of mine have a separate output selector as well since they're tub+shower setups.

But they're a somewhat annoying configuration with one knob that you pull out to turn water on and rotate to adjust temperature.

Call it RichiH's Rule (of thumb) if you want:

As long as companies claiming to be near to an or even breakthrough keep hiring more humans, they are very, very far away from achieving any AI, much less AGI, breakthrough.

Today, I faltered and failed to follow the first commandment of CA glue: Always Keep Moving Your Fingers

Yet, I had heeded the second commandment: Always Have Acetone Next To You

And all became well.

@johnwhitley there's activator which will make CA stick to PETG. It's very useful for 3D printing

No in Munich tonight, but it's hammering shooting stars from West

If you are awake, there are as far south as Munich and apparently Texas right now. At least in Munich you need a long exposure, it's not bright enough for the naked eyes.

Long business trip is when you start writing to your (German) family in English by accident...

@azonenberg yes, I know.

My point was that preclearance is even better for me than for e.g. you as I have nothing, not even global entry because... They just took the money and are sitting on endless backlog.

Only one bed that's not mine and one extra time zone in my immediate future... Back home after three work weeks soon and really looking forward to it.

They say "the city that never sleeps" as if it was a positive. Relatedly, woo girls do exist, and they also book hotel rooms. If you're unlucky for several nights in a row.

As a
Hotel guest paying $164 for washing 7 sets of tshirt, boxers, and socks

I want
Boxers and socks to smell intensely like, for lack of a better description, old mushroom paste

So that
I can sleep in a stinky room, likely develop a headache, and have them washed again in the next hotel

Closer to home is when your phone's clock widget is showing fewer than five time zones.

If I know anyone (currently) in New York City, I'll have another free day tomorrow until work resumes. No promises made, but maybe coffee and nerding out works out.

just sent me an email, informing me that I have not bought stickers in a while (I buy through a role account these days) and unless I opt in again, they will remove me from their mailing list.

That's how you retain eyeballs which matter -- informed consent. Guess where I will buy my next stickers again...

The weirdest thing just happened...

It just rained in a slice of the garden; maybe 30-50m². No to the left or right. It didn't move, it just rained there for a few minutes and then stopped.

I have seen relatively sharp rain borders before, usually moving.

But.. never in my life did I see a literal slice of land getting rained on.
