@mossmann I definitely think it's worth trying. If you were in the bay area I'd just give you some :)

@graves501 ah I already do that, but it doesn't really help me unfortunately

specifically I tried the one made by zbiotics. was hesitant at first since it can make some folks nauseous (which I'm very prone to), but I had no issues.

Last night I tried a pre-alcohol probiotic that breaks down acetaldehyde in your liver to reduce hangovers and it worked super well??

I don't drink often, but lately I've almost always had horrible hangovers after drinking and I just feel mostly totally fine today.

found the best sticker (by http://ashleyloob.bsky.social)

however, I do kind of associate this color with CSRs (certificate signing requests)

seeing this nail polish shade named "encryption key" made me realize the colors i associate with encryption keys are very different -- more blues/greens/greys.

curious about other folks' colour associations if you'd like to share

@alisonmartin57 this is so pretty!

learned a painful lesson today, when making a balsamic reduction do not lean over the pan and breathe in the fumes

the guards who speak only the truth and speak only lies guard the logic gate.

daily affirmations:

• I am an abstract class.
• My instances are collections of objects.
• My subclasses may place some restrictions or add some definitions to how the objects are stored or organized; I say nothing about this.
• I merely provide some object creation and access routines for general collections of objects.

Sometime just after 4:35pm Pittsburgh time tomorrow (Sunday—I think it's still Saturday there as I write this), I was supposed to walk on stage at @pycon and receive the Community Service Award.

I won't be doing that in person, because I'm transgender, and the event is in the US.

My AU passport has an X gender marker, so I can't even get an ESTA or visitor visa to enter the US, and even if I could it is a country that is even more wildly unsafe for people like me than it was a year ago.

@eqe It's amazing!!!!

@eqe no!!! I want to see it!

I collect vintage Linux-related stuff, and while looking through ebay recently I found this LP by an artist named Unix (2002) that's actually pretty good? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bdDETQLnSc
