TIL mayo in coffee is actually a thing.
I suppose “X in Y” is a thing somewhere on the Internet, for all X and Y, and usually I don’t want to see the associated images.
Edit: when I was actively collaborating with others to write technical papers, our primary typesetting tool was called LaTeX (a version by Leslie Lamport of a tool called TeX, pronounced “tech”). It was complicated enough that one could not keep all the necessary keywords in one’s head, but doing a Web search (which tends to be case-insensitive) on anything, oh, boy.

I heard about that, and though the raw indredients in mayo are borderline imaginable (not good but imaginable), the entirety of the image is rather vile. Mayo in coffee specifically I mean.

Yeah, even butter in coffee is going too far for me. But people do all sorts of cringey things with food these days. Or maybe they always did. But I can’t help but think that social media accelerates the push to extremes.

Social media is the key ingredient. The vilest of all.

This reminds me of a time back around 1999/2000 when I worked at an outdoor retailer. One of the managers, a nice Mormon fellow, was working the customer service counter when a gentleman walked up with a question about Leatherman multitools. The manager proceeded to type in www.leathermen.com and turned the monitor so the customer could view it. Back then, websites didn’t load instantly, so when the screen began to populate with images, it was rather awkward. Also pretty hilarious.

Dicks dot com did not take you to the sporting goods store back then either! Always flagged the content filtering!

Wait until some people find out that Autostraddle has nothing to do with cars…
I’m struggling to understand my audio setup with my Volt 176 or something - can’t yet tell the difference between the INST and 48V buttons, except I don’t press the 48V button for fear of damaging my equipment. Might have to get a hardware mixer especially to get rid of latency on OBS when trying to record the audio input directly from the interface (although I have no problems with Audacity funnily enough), but I honestly don’t want to spend money on more than what I need right now.

I’ve been writing some LaTeX yesterday.
Always the same nightmare.

LaTeX and Markdown are two bits of software I’m thankful for - I’ve not used LaTeX since after university. Far superior to the custom XML implementation of stuff like Word, which is GUI-based and centered strongly around print.

Ask @Kegeratorz about his mayo boy and coffee. And his mayo parfumé

Yeah, but then the journal asks you to use a 20-yo 4k-line sty file and suddenly all your graphics are all over the place.
You shouldn’t have to debug a fucking article
Markdown, in the other hand, was a gift from Aaron Swartz, gone too soon.
Edit: seems he helped Gruber, actually.
