I have never had the sunk cost fallacy made so clear as with my printing project today.
On Friday, it took 2 of us most of 2 days to print all of the components. Today I moved the network cables etc to the other printer and I was done solo before lunch.

BUILD (Building a United Interfaith Lexington through Direct action) is a group our UU congregation is heavily involved in.
So here I am pushing program updates and saying Rise up and Build as I compile to prod.

This week has been a hot mess at work. Vendor API issues, ancient printers (like dot matrix) with feeding issues, and data files changing after programming.
Friday is tomorrow and I will be very grateful at the end of the day.

I was discussing UBI with my kid yesterday, and while he was more focused on homelessness I was focusing on how applying it to all regardless of income levels lowers the administrative burden. I don't want people to have gobs of paperwork to access aid/UBI.
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

I think this year was the first time we had a second vegetarian at thanksgiving. We had mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, pierogi, green beans, rolls, cranberry sauce. Friends brought corn pudding, Mac and cheese, and stuffing (and meat things).
There was a lot and I'm still full the next morning.

The caramels are cut and wrapped. Rolls are baked (which I could have done for tomorrow, but they will keep). Potatoes are boiling for pierogi.
I think I have 5-6 more things for today, but 2 of them are easy peasy.

I loved Wicked: For Good (saw it Saturday), but I am disappointed that the characters I wanted to kiss didn't kiss.
To be fair, they didn't kiss in the book or original musical either.

Or just normalize having no alcohol. Even the presence of alcohol can be hard for someone recovering from alcoholism, and it isn't needed to have a good time.
Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Every time I have a race it is a new opportunity for greater success or own goals of failure. This time I walked the race (which is fine even if it wasn't the plan) because the leggings I was wearing kept trying to slide off my butt.
Whoops!

Can I put in for 2-3 hours extra work?
I left with a project in test (a weird in production test, because I'm a solo dev) and dreamed about solving the issues all weekend long.

I'm kind of sad. I finished @maigadoocy.bsky.social 's Sorcery and Small Magics and there is no second one yet.
It is fine. I have another 20 books out from the library to soothe myself with. It was just so sweet and wholesome feeling compared to the news. I need that.

I made a strawberry birthday cake with a strawberry jam filling and Swiss meringue buttercream.
I have more strawberries and some fondant decorations to go on before serving, because I am trying my hand at the King Arthur berry mirror glaze later today.

So, I feel like this is unfair. Kentucky voted in 1992 to give themselves a break and only have elections 3 out of 4 years. We have elections every even year, but I had to double check that we had something or nothing to vote for. Odd years are weird here.

I wish I had the interchangeable needle set in my bag. One of the needles (right side) is unscrewing every row.
I just cannot tighten it enough by hand.

I stifled the urge to weave in the ends, washed my knitting and patted and lightly pinned it to shape to dry and then wove in my ends.
I think the areas where I put a new skein in for a stripe look better (more filled in).

I made a test cake for practicing mirror glaze. Gingerbread cake with pumpkin whipped cream, Swiss meringue buttercream and white chocolate mirror glaze.
The glaze isn't quite right. Obviously I needed the practice.

I make these at least once every year. They are delicious even if you make them too hard to chew!

This is the best candy I've *ever* made. It compacts a whole bottle of fresh apple cider into a salt-flecked, cinnamon-y, buttery caramel that is so loud with everything awesome about fall, no October is complete without it.

I have only practiced my clarinet ~30 minutes since I picked it up Saturday.
While I only can consistently play 5 notes, I'm looking for songs to work towards. I have printed a version of Ghostbusters, but I need something a bit easier. Any suggestions?
