The folks that host the toast.ooo instance have run an event like that for us the past two summers. Check out !canvas@toast.ooo to see last year’s result, and watch for news about the next one.

This reminds me that I need to plan some art for the next event!

At work I usually need to have multiple windows up, so no one window spans the width of the display. It’s often nice to have two documents side-by-side instead.

Tbh, I copy-pasted this from a health website. As far as I know, dried and canned beans are comparable. The biggest difference is that canned beans usually have added salt, which a lot of us could probably do without.

I would rather find ways to encourage people to eat foods that are natural sources of magnesium. They provide lots of other dietary benefits beyond just magnesium.

• Soy products (milk, flour, tofu)

• Legumes and seeds

• Nuts (almonds, cashews, Brazil nuts)

• Peanuts and peanut butter

• Whole grain breads and cereals (brown rice, millet)

• Fruit (bananas, dried apricots, etc.)

• Vegetables, particularly dark green, leafy vegetables (artichokes, chard, beet greens, avocados, etc.)

• Dried beans (lima, black-eyed peas, navy)

Idk the exact proportions. Just wing it. With a bit of experience you’ll get it dialed in to suit your taste.

Marinate anywhere from 2 hours to overnight. Longer time = stronger flavor. Cook the chicken on the grill if you have one. Otherwise, bake it in the oven.

They would have included Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood but that would require continuing to fund PBS.

I was going into a nightclub in Scotland and the bouncer at the door asked for ID. I didn’t have my passport, so gave him my US driver’s license. The bouncer looked at it with an odd face, not knowing what it was, until I said, “Oh, I’m American.” Without missing a beat he said, “Yeah, we all got problems,” gave it back to me, and let me in.

That’s the spirit!

If the team is going out to lunch to celebrate a special occasion, then a single drink has always been fine in the teams I worked with. I don’t partake anymore because it makes me really sleepy in the afternoon.

I worked at one company that hosted a weekly happy hour. I was one of the employees who took turns setting up the kegs in the common room, and pouring drinks during the event. That was a fun place. The extra social time really improved some working relationships. And we got a surprising amount of productive work done just by talking for an hour or two while standing around sipping microbrews and wine.

After all, you can’t drink all day if you don’t start in the morning.

Making quiche for brunch. Apparently an omelet is fine, but a scrambled omelette is gay.
