Sure, but she just says “stonefruits”, not any specific one. shrug

No, that’s it. But it’s every single wine she tastes. They don’t all have stonefruit notes!

How cosmopolitan!

Right now, “demure”.

My boss, specifically: “stonefruit”.

Do you percolate your coffee?

With the caveat that I end up a mill in debt if I slip up? Nope. I know I’d slip up. The risk / reward ratio isn’t good enough.

A mill isn’t that much money to have, but it’s a lot of money to owe. No deal.

There is not that amount of money. I could not make that deal.

Was it a r/nosleep story?

Not Taco Bell, for starters.

Seconding this book. It’s one of the best books I’ve read this decade.

I didn’t learn until I was in my fourth year of college, so it’s not too late. Dvorak is a lot easier to learn and use than Qwerty; I’ve heard Colemak is even better. It can be better to learn one where the keyfaces don’t correspond, so you’re not tempted to revert to hunt-and-peck.

Thanks you so much for sharing this, it really is a great perspective on “death of the artist”, and one I haven’t seen before.

I’ve always been firmly on the side of separation, but with the caveat that I won’t give money to people that will use it for evil.

But looking at your situation, is that tenable? Do I think your barber will use his income for evil? Not significantly. But the creation of his art, your haircut, includes a toxic process. These conversations are deleterious to your well-being so of course you should avoid them for practical and aesthetic reasons. But morally, what is the best action? I’d argue that a business that would host those kind of discussions is further normalizing bigotry, a real evil. Driving business there would be a moral wrong.

In the end, it’s like vantablack paint: The resulting art doesn’t justify the toxicity, even leaving aside the moral failings of its creator.

So there’s nothing wrong with enjoying your haircut, but don’t get another one there. Like with many beautiful things, it’s the getting that’s the problem, not the having.

Worst is Necco wafers.

Best is Whoppers, then Sixlets.

It’s ubiquitous.

Perfectly put.

I only browse subscribed, but I also sub the muni discovery munis.

Sturgeon’s Law: 90% of anything is crap. Better to skim from the top than wade up a from the bottom, I say.

Your question is not clear, post-edit. Can you rephrase?

I also love this calendar. It’s important to remember that “what day of the week is it” is an important question for at least two world religions, though, so months won’t always start on the same day of the week from year to year — but every month in a given year will.
