That's fair, and sort of what I assumed, but I don't quite have the experience to say for a fact, so much appreciated!

Ironically I've only done modem stuff when I was very young and also somehow most of last year. But also maybe I get a little paranoid when it comes to talking to devices, and maybe I'm extrapolating my current i2c woes too far 😅

I'd like to concur about reading the receive buffer faster than it is filled!

Hopefully there is some end of line character that can be parsed for, but if not, a timeout should be fine like you said.

Curious what baud rate is being used.

That's a bummer! I'm watching it on Netflix in the US (it's leaving tomorrow, boo), but even here it looks like slim pickins without buying it

And... I should maybe note as I'm watching this again, I forgot how much a product of its time it really is, lord have mercy. Still campy as all get out!

Trying!

About to watch Death Becomes Her for affirmation 💅

what babe?

Sapphic high five!

That's funny, I was just thinking that 😅 but I guess it's maybe a popular show. Alex rocking it at the end though!

Oh yay, it's amazing how affirming and uplifting the right clothes are, and even more so when other people notice too 😁

Baking cookies from scratch? Mine only work half the time for some reason 😅 do you do the long refrigerator time thing?

I was able to put away the dishes today, continued to make progress with medical diagnostic stuff, and still am somehow keeping my team together at work. That feels pretty big to me 🧡

Gloop and gleep, heck yeah! Nearly invincible and can turn in to anything.

I'd go with Blip (the monkey), since I'm quiet aside from occasional chirps.

Watching the sunrise can be so powerful.

I had to look up what counted as extreme sports... If whitewater rafting and mountain biking count, then yes!

Have you ever grown your own garden? (Or maybe a veggie patch, if one is British 😁)

Yep! Growing up, my dad did some wildlife rescue and I helped a lot. Though we specialized in birds of prey, so it could be a little tricky at times...

Have you ever been on a boat in the ocean?

That's a fun mixture of instruments!

No, apparently I prefer to burn out to the point where I can't work 😅 But I've worked on it a lot in therapy!

Have you heard the cracking of a glacier?

Lots, although always with a partner! The worst one I maybe accidentally gave everyone a stomach bug (but I made the rounds to drop off care packages and apologies). The best was probably a swanky New Year's Eve dinner party, lots of good folks and silliness.

Have you ever watched the sun rise from a rooftop?

I literally did that one winter when I lived in a small studio and I had a particularly fancy salvaged HP workstation. It was great!

(Except I was missing an apparently important fan and most of my RAM went bad, 96G out of 128. Make sure your system cooling works correctly before trying this!)

Thank you for sharing these beautiful pieces! I think I am most drawn to Soft Blush, but all of the work is very evocative, wish I could see them in person.

Oh thank you! Now that you mention it, I do remember looking that up for other reasons, I'll look more into it 😀

Agreed, I don't really believe in them either.

I know for me, I've worked really hard to have a coherent working mental model of the world, and ghosts just don't fit in there, especially when you add things like how physically delicate/sensitive our external senses, our own need for post hoc reasoning, and our brains ability to literally just make stuff up when there's missing information. So for now my working model of the world does not include ghosts for similar reasons that it doesn't include omnipotent gods and other supernatural powers. KISS method!

I don't think I'm the smartest woman in the world or whatever, and I'm continually in the process of being wrong about things. But I've learned to trust some explanations more than others, the ones that "fit" with the rest, and I've learned how to revise my beliefs to be more self consistent. Which somehow feels very important to me.

Perhaps this is just a long way to explain my own neurospiciness 😅

I'm curious about this magnet thing now though! I thought I had heard something about it at one point, but now I'm having trouble finding it.

I'm sorry I can't, I was cursed to never touch yarn until true love's kiss. How about we go frolicking in a field full of phlox?
