@ottaross don't worry, as an Italian I can reassure you that they had barely enough for half the reserves of salsa for the year anyway.Looking for Alibrandi intro scene for referencehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8AKByfHKow

Dumplings arrived.

Further to my ponderings yesterday, I got a couple of utility/moving blankets for the workshop. They're roughly 1m x 2m (40" x 72") in size and were shipped with crazy unnecessary overnight delivery.Anyway they look fine for my intended purpose. They are getting a cat scan as I type this.#JuliaKitten #shopBlankets #workshop

@ottaross plantar fascistitis, more likely

…I guess, being an Android App to pre-pay US tariffs through the app before shipping, that would mean Google gets a cut of that payment too. So – I'm not going to ship my little gizmos to USA anymore. I'd have to charge 5-10x the price (typically about $3 each) just to make it worth my while for time spent with extra apps, accounts and junk. I'm guessing this mess will all go away in a few months (or years?). #USTariffs #Shipping #maker

Run to a window if you have one looking west.

@ottaross Alas I can't use granny's number, 85694, for the SSH port

I was at a shoe store recently, and the cashier asked for a phone number and I replied that I didn't want to give them one."We need it for our system" she says, as if that was some sort of convincing argument."Okay, use 613 555 1212," I said."Umm, are you John? I've got 13 people here under that number."She seemed oblivious to the number and its function/history, and why people are offering it.

A couple of snapshots of that abused guitar I picked up last evening for $15 at the thrift store. It's in rough shape, which is the sort of thing I was looking for. Should be an interesting project over the fall and winter. I won't be seeking perfection, but hope to stabilize it, and make it playable again. Fun to apply my woodworking skills to a guitar – which I haven't explored before.#guitars #Yamaki #woodworking

…An example not too far from me:#DesiCulture

@GustavinoBevilacqua That's plausible - I've used too much rubidium in my kitchen!
