She also measured the vermouth using the vermouth bottle cap. Clearly, hates doing dishes. But it was a good drink!
"He's an arsonist who has lost his matches." -- why I read every review in the NYT Book Review by Dwight Garner even if I have no interest in the book.

Great way to close @allthingsopen week: buy a pen 🖊️ from old friend @johns! Recommended stop for locals and visitors #AllThingsOpen
Bartender employing the very advanced "just kind of swirl the mixing glass around without using a spoon while walking around the bar" method of #cocktail construction. Next level.

This happened entirely by accident but apparently John is now matching #FountainPen , ink, and...tea.
@chrisjrn And I learned that my junk ISP router won't allow me to even temporarily turn off encryption. So much kindness.
I would really like to know how/when Debian uninstalled wpasupplicant on this box, and how I didn't notice. This is up there with when Debian installed exim4 without me noticing and proceeded to silently swallow all of my outgoing mail for a week. But I love Debian.
Fire whomever failed to backronym the CHIPS and Science Act the CHIPS and SALSA Act
To my surprise, the Track Change podcast is not about document collaboration catastrophes.
Never thought I would have an opinion about club soda, but Food Lion is the worst club soda. All the other ones, probably fine.

@mlinksva Maybe we should start fresh with a V divorce.. Switch to "PB", and "V" can be "PB-D" for plant based except dairy. But if we're not careful, we'll end up with VPDX.
Started "The Galaxy, and the Ground Within" by Becky Chambers. So grateful to have another book in the Wayfarer series.

Got friends in Portland, OR? There's still time to register for #FOSSY which starts on Thursday! It's actually an amazing deal - the lowest ticket price is just $35 and includes dinner and a party on Thursday night, breakfast at the conference, plus great content and networking!
@tallastro It has just somehow left dots on my pockets and Lochby. So it either leaks from the tip or maybe gets partially unretracted. Doesn't happen with G2 or any other click pen.
@evan What! So, so glad you are back home and recovering.

The "mini" pen show is tomorrow! This is a "mini pen show" as in, 3 guest #fountainpen vendors plus door prizes and sales, but we also do have plenty of mini pens to show you. Details at https://www.crazyalansemporium.com/2024/07/24/saturday-july-27-mini-pen-show-at-crazy-alans-emporium/ . If you didn't get an email about it, you can join our mailing list at https://www.crazyalansemporium.com/newsletter/ .
I officially dislike the Sharpie S-Gel, which has managed to get ink on two pairs of pants on consecutive days, and on my notebook holder. And while it has a nice bold line, it's very fussy about paper and angle. Getting ink where it's not supposed to be is apparently not just a #fountainpen problem.
(But if you like the S-Gel, I'm still happy to sell you some.)
