Also how debugging got its name, because bugs would get into the vacuum tubes
Edit: I did some digging and found what’s claimed to be the actual “de-bugging”. Turns out it wasn’t as widespread as my memory made it out to be.

Dammit it’s a one-day job. Guess I’ll stop updating my resume.
Good point on the baking time and temp
Thanks, I’ll have to see what I can figure out. I realize now I let these be too free form because that’s how I usually make hamburger buns.
This makes a lot of sense. I’ll have to try them in a 9x13 next time.
I live by alarms and reminders. I also try and automate as much as possible so I don’t have to rely on me remembering or being focused.
Finch (app) for little dopamine bursts for doing the basics - I have everything like get out of bed, take meds, put on clean clothes. It doesn’t penalize you if you miss anything, it just celebrates when you check things as done. When you do enough things in a day your penguin gets to go on an adventure.
Alexa and Siri - I have routines set up through Alexa, either to remind me of things at a certain time each day or ones I can set by saying a specific phrase. For example, when I say “Alexa I started the laundry” she’ll remind me an hour later to put the laundry in the dryer. Siri I use to make phone reminders whenever something pops into my mind so I don’t have to try and hold onto the thought and then forget what I was doing. My kid will even say to me, “Tell Siri now so you don’t forget.”
I’ve been playing around with the project management app Trello. I don’t have everything set up yet but it has “boosts” I think they’re called - basically different automations you can install and use within Trello. So for example you can link Trello to your calendar and then when certain events get added to your calendar Trello can automatically create a list of things you need to do before the event. And if you also link reminders it can automatically create the reminders to get those things done too. My struggle right now is just having the focus to figure out how to set up all the automations and link everything.
Congrats!!! Home grown fruit is the best
May I suggest sock tag - use a rolled up sock (or something similarly soft). Kid runs around while you try to tag them with the sock. Similar to dodgeball, but no one should get hurt and you get to sit or lay down while they burn off energy.

looking at Berkey water filters
Been looking at water filters too, to take out as much PFAS as possible. What a time to be alive
The US Fish & Wildlife Service has a feather atlas to help people ID North American birds.
It’s not perfect as they may only have feathers from one or two individuals, and like people birds of the same species aren’t all identical. But it’s still a good resource. Plus it has an Identify My Feather feature that’s fun and interesting to use.
That is one very disapproving pigeon
