Bouncy Dog is classic small dog, in that he greets other dogs with some variant of “I’ll bleep*ing kick your *bleep, you bleep bleep!”

Other small dogs generally respond with “Not if I bleep you first, bleep! bleep bleep bleep bleep”

Large dog responses are more like “oh it’s the weird little dude. Hey weird little dude, what’s up? Want some tea?”

Thing is Bouncy Dog gets on great with other dogs once introductions are out of the way. It’s just that he’s terrible at introductions.

who among us can say they have never barked at a jogger?

@boris My brain (the rude ADHD one, not the useful public one) wants me to explore SiYuan Note’s format a little more. The editing experience is closer to Notion, everything collapsible like Obsidian / Logseq and uniquely ID’d like Logseq, so for outlining you just — make a list. Multiple hierarchical notebooks within one workspace. Notes aren’t Markdown, but they are local JSON files.

Course, the down side is with some of the plugins I have to pretend I can read Chinese.

Worked so hard at saying “salmon” correctly that now I can’t say “salmonella.”

@baldur the bit about senior devs accepting fewer code suggestions? That checks out.

I’ve been using a code assistant. Occasionally it’s a pleasant surprise but mostly it gives me something to growl at.

A weekly update a week after the last weekly update. That’s just weird.

Thanks to Mrs Geek and her superpower of object permanence, we were able to find the needed HDMI cable right where she put it last.
