OODA Loop reminder: you need to constantly re-evaluate the situation and READJUST your assessment of a situation to fit; if you make a decision at one point in time, that is not a "philosophy" but a decision point at that point in time.

During a group photo with greeters on the PHL tarmac a reporter shouted a question at President Biden about whether he'd serve four more years or hand over power to VP Harris. He replied: “You're not hurt are you? Are you okay? Did you fall on your head or something?”

@petes_bread_eqn_xls @w7voa @ai6yr How many American presidents have voluntarily stepped down so far? Does she have an answer to why Biden would do something so unprecedented?

Two things today:

  1. A coworker is out with Covid. I worked with her last week while she was sneezing & had a runny nose. But I had my N95 on, & was also airing the house out so I did not get sick.
    (Always air out your vacation rental for at least an hour, folks)

@samhainnight Wow, you dodged a bullet there. Well done!

@samhainnight Yes, I'm like "Untested software is buggy. So are untested people." 🦠

I've actually driven by this house a bunch of times so it was really fun to clean it and see what it looked like inside!

mjausson,

@samhainnight That's gorgeous!

Gonna try to assemble a bookshelf in the den. Might be hard, though because that's the room with most of the boxes in it. But I can't unpack them unless I have somewhere to put the stuff, so...🤷‍♀️

@samhainnight Wow, 5 hours is a long time. Hope you get lots of use out of it!

@mykhaylo @w7voa They have skin in the game. Sweden is most definitely on Russia's honey-do list, probably right after Finland.

@mykhaylo @w7voa The US isn't threatened the same way e.g. the Baltic States are. And if the wrong guy wins this year's US election, Putin will have carte blanche to retake all former Soviet countries.

mjausson,
@mjausson@mastodon.design avatar

@mykhaylo @w7voa No, if the wrong guy wins, the US will abandon NATO and become an ally of Russia.

Welcome to the Sharing Winter All Year Card Hop Challenge 5! ❄️
Hosted by @thatcraftygolden. We are thrilled to announce this month's theme: Worldwide Wintertide

This was such a fun challenge! I created a Yule box card for it. For the box construction, the license plate and the Viking I used products from @mftstamps. Their box card products are really well designed and easy to use! Find clickable links to all products in my blog post at ValleyOakPaper.com

Saw the aftermath of a friend's goat's encounter with a pair of mountain lions. It was NOT pretty. I guess I'm not going hiking around at night at their house, LOL.

My wariness of plumbers further cemented by a local plumber who is charged with BOTH killing a rival and also allegedly killing one of his 72-year old customers. #killerplumber #crime #ConejoValley https://digitaledition.toacorn.com/html5/reader/production/default.aspx?pubname=&pubid=2f3c2eb8-1d97-45c8-91ba-0ee05ae28940

Article describing the murder of a 72-year old, by his plumber

@ai6yr I thought being a plumber was very lucrative. Did he have a drug habit or gambled or something?

@ai6yr LOL This Swedish person agrees with the sentiment. Most Swedish people slather it with homemade mustard to avoid actually tasting it.

Although it's still better than surströmming.

mjausson,
@mjausson@mastodon.design avatar

@ai6yr @dogfox No meatballs for you then, Ben. 😂

Seriously, if you want to try something exotic that's actually good, take a look at the pickled herring at Ikea. Regular pickled herring or mustard herring are genuinely great on a sandwich.

It’s a cool day today AND my baking stuff is unpacked (I think), so today I’m making scones! It’s my family’s recipe, and is miles better than the dry, brittle stuff the coffee shops sell. 😃 Recipe Incoming

@ai6yr Wow, "moulage" was not pronounced the way I thought it was! But the comments say it's wrong. Now I'm thoroughly confused. 😵‍💫

Shout out to every designer and developer who've ever had a client become severely distressed over Lorem Ipsum text.

Total solidarity with anyone who've had the same person freak out twice.

mjausson,
@mjausson@mastodon.design avatar

@sysop408 LOL How do you even find these people? I prefer to do my user testing with people outside the Bay Area, because people here are very online compared to the rest of the US. I guess your clients are the exceptions that prove the rule. 😂

Hail Freya, it's Friday!
For this week’s I'm reviving an age-old pagan debate.
This is a two-part question:

Do you think cursing/hexing is an acceptable practice?

Have you done it?

mjausson,
@mjausson@mastodon.design avatar

@Cat_LeFey I think outright cursing can be warranted in some cases, but I've never done it. Even when warranted, I didn't want to be entangled in the cursee's energy or fate.

OTOH reflecting back a person's energy toward themselves can be very effective. As long as the recipient is a non-psychotic adult, in my book reflecting back is ethically neutral. In my experience it's best combined with a banishing. They usually stay gone after that.

Paying a car service to pick up the relatives at LAX, I have hit my free Uber limit.

@ai6yr A whole week? That's harsh.

mjausson,

@ai6yr I sympathize. 😴

In a previous job I had someone get mad at me for yawning. 🥱 Not sure what he expected me to do about it in the middle of a meeting.
