I keep wanting to resurrect my homemade 8-bit CPU project (heavily inspired by Ben Eater's breadbord computer). One of the changes I want to make is to have a variable speed clock module that you have to manually turn a crank to run. The faster you crank, the higher the clock speed.
Is this practical? Not in the slightest. It would be really cool though.
So my partner and I do Instacart to help make ends meet. We have supposedly opted out of heavy orders,* and yet we were assigned an order with three cases (40 x 500mL) of water. That's 60kg (assuming negligible packaging weight).
This begs the question: what exactly is their threshold for what is considered a "heavy order"?
* because they don't pay anywhere near enough for us to destroy our bodies like that.

Per the help doc for org-agenda
"If the current buffer is in Org mode and visiting a file, you can also
first press ‘<’ once to indicate that the agenda should be temporarily
(until the next use of ‘SPC o a’) restricted to the current file.
Pressing ‘<’ twice means to restrict to the current subtree or region
(if active).
"
In other words, execute org-agenda then press "<" before the command you want to run against the agenda.
@a world without cars I have a markdown plugin on my Friendica server. I just put it between backticks like this: `org-agenda-files`
.
This wouldn't work on Mastodon though.
you could do something like this
```
(defun my/file-agenda ()
(interactive)
(when-let ((org-agenda-files (list (buffer-file-name (current-buffer)))))
(org-agenda)))
```
I am officially an old person* now.
* I have a supply of Werther's on my person at all times.

Ha! If it's not Worthers, it's those strawberry gel filled hard candy things that nobody knows where they come from. 🤣
Or butterscotch disks. Those are good too.
Lately, things around the apartment have been failing in ways I didn't even know could happen. I had to pick up a new shower head because the old one exploded while I was in the shower yesterday (clocking me in the head in the process).
I'm beginning to think this apartment has it in for me.

@Digit At the moment, I'm very broke and my executive function sucks since I'm off ADHD meds, so it'll probably take forever for me to finish, but It's something I want to do.
It does look like someone's beaten me to it, but I'm not trying to be the first, just to enjoy the challenge.
Yup. Several have.
And indeed. It's the adventure, the learning, the creating, more than the having.
(and yeah, I hear ya on the executive functioning fails... I've never yet had medication for my ADHD (not even officially diagnosed), this place is a mess... and yet, when the idea struck, and I followed the inspiration, the whim, at the start of this month, much to my astonishment, I made a fin, from zero to proof of concept, in less than a week, and development continues... ks392457.kimsufi.com/drnw/fin.… | codeberg.org/Digit/fin/ | youtu.be/dhJaNQi8400 😮 ... So it happens when it happens. #ADHD -> #VAST 😁 )

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •In the future, I recommend meal prep; it reduces the jit cooking overhead by a lot, tho it can't eliminate it entirely for most dishes. Many of my meals are (quinoa + beans + nooch + 99 secs. in the microwave).
In the present, I recommend the a ready-to-eat snack that's pareto optimal for you measures of nutrition, distance, and cost. I find a small bag of cashews with as little added salt as possible works well for me. Others have suggested packaged "cheese" and crackers.

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •I'd rather eat out all the time, or at least do takeaway, but cooking at home + meal prep was the only way I could get my sodium intake down to reasonable levels.
(My BP stubbornly remains high, tho.)
These days I continue it because the closest restartant (that isn't a food truck or also a convenience store) is a 15 minute drive away, I think.
