Dear journalists: if you call me about “mustard gas” based on a sandwich, I’m going to make it my mission in life to embarrass you for decades. STOP CALLING ME OVER THIS ABJECT BULLSHIT
Deep sigh. “Mustard gas” is entirely unrelated to mustard or mustard seeds. It’s a nickname. Hell, it’s not even a gas

went on the second round of viola bow shopping today, and the pattern repeated itself - my two favorite choices were basically exactly the same weight again (68.5g), but much lighter than the pair of identical weight bows (71.5g) from the last store.

Laser applications for agriculture seem very hard. Extra so if you're using really bulky and fragile glass-tube DC systems...

The quick summary for a large variety of products:
Lasers are not the answer to all problems. While they can do a variety of things, they do not necessarily do them well and require more care and maintenance than you’d expect. Especially outside.

It isn't difficult to despise violence and the atmosphere of encouraging it more than one hates Charlie Kirk individually - especially as the former still lives and isn't mortal.
But in God's name, who asked you to turn "non-celebration" into mourning?

played exactly the sort of session last night I really enjoy - two good friends and me, and a mostly empty bar. Three fiddles and nothing else is really all you need for some good tunes...
Today is probably going to be more chaotic, so the banjo is coming as well.

Today's #espresso - Hydrangea's Finca El Uberrimo (hydrangea.coffee/products/pin...), courtesy of a friend with a slight obsession with pink bags of coffee. Pulled 21g in/42g out, at a pretty fast 15s. Really excellent!
