For , the tension between & to eat healthy is an interesting problem. If you don't have time, it is difficult:

to learn to cook,

If you don't have money, it's difficult:

to afford real food
or solve one of the time problems above

replied to:

Yea, aside from the money, sourcing is a big problem, one thing I noticed when trying to at some point was that there are zero vegan snacks in ordinary neighbourhood stores, so that didn’t last very long.

replied to:

Choice is definitely a problem. We notice it when we go to our cabin, about a 2 1/2 hour drive away. The grocery store there targets for its local community. It is beef-centric and often boxed foods -- which is not our diet. Access -- or lack thereof -- is the worst kind of problem. illustrate the historical and complex nature.

I got an email from battle.net to confirm my age. Apparently some content may be restricted to minors in the region my account is from. You would think that the account having been created 19 years ago, and with some CD-keys of games from the late 1990's having been added to it would be enough proof, but oh well.

I've written a small persistent agent wrapper for agent.py. I'm impressed with how well it works. I feel like a CEO issuing global memos to all my agents after reading their status reports.

After running them for a weekend and spending $2 on openrouter I've put the wrapper script at public.swiley.net/agents.sh

I am writing a GIS app for Android and iOS. Any opinions/suggestions?

replied to:

Make it easy for users to export polygons. My municipal GIS didn't for some reason so I had to guess by moving the mouse around and manually type the coordinates into Marble.

replied to:

Thanks for the suggestion. Export feature added.

Cancel and retry? Btw textlog builds, tests and deploys in ~45s 😁

replied to:

I wanted to see what it would do. It got automatically canceled in six hours.

Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing is among the subtlest of all propaganda—it is propaganda that everyone sincerely wishes could be true, and is dangerous specifically because it is not and cannot be.

I've linked up my blog (jeff-mitchell.dev) to textlog. I hope to use the two things together now to build a bit more of a writing habit. The 500 character increase is nice, room to breath but not an essay. Gotta build the muscles slowly :)

It seems like removing some of the connections between the anterior and frontal cortices could have positive effects.
