Tahoe day 3.

Mail -> Show Contact Card for sender -> shows a system UUID, exactly what I was after.

Bonus: Clicking on 'Open with Contacts' opens... a completely different contact!
Dialog saying 'Contact' and just showing a UUID, with a button that says 'Open with Contacts'

Joe Armstrong said it best.
Joe Armstrong's lovely cartoon of parallel vs concurrent. With parallel, there are two queues of people at two coffee machines. With concurrent, there are still two queues but with only one coffee machine, so there is contention for the one machine.

Heartfelt post from @evacide saying to lean in to things that make you happy, even schadenfreude, followed immediately by a web3 crypto hack post. Delicious.

I can't help thinking this is a bit of an unfortunate choice of logo for a premium product.
Perfume called "La Mer" with a label that looks like it says "LAMER". Unfortunate.
