post: Surely it has nothing to do with his charming habit of sprinkling every conversation with condescending and belittling comments in the side notes, his relentless need to prove he's the smartest guy in the room, or his talent for making everyone feel about two inches tall. No, it must all be a giant misunderstanding?

 Synaesthesia (syn·es·the·sia)

Synesthesia is a neurological phenomenon in which the stimulation of one sense involuntarily triggers the perception of another sense. This means that people with synesthesia may experience, for example, colors when they hear music, tastes when they see letters, or shapes when they smell certain scents. It is a rare but well-documented condition, estimated to affect about 2-5% of the population.

topic_title: Food

post:
 And because Akagiyama was giving me stick, here's the recipe for the pepper pork buns.

Black Pepper Pork Buns — as told to Nairn on Discord (8 portions)

Dough

100 g all-purpose flour
100 g bread flour
7 g/1 sachet active dry yeast granules
12 g sugar, divided
0.25 tsp salt
130 ml lukewarm water (30°–35°)
15 ml sesame oil

Filling

250 g thinly-sliced pork or pork mince
2 tsp ground black pepper
15 ml sake
15 ml soy sauce
15 ml sesame oil
7.5 ml oyster sauce
0.25 tsp five-spice powder
3-4 spring onions (green and white parts), sliced (not too finely)

Egg wash

1 egg yolk
15 ml milk
White sesame seeds

Method

1. In a small bowl, add yeast to the water. Add half the sugar.
2. In a large bowl combine the two flours, the remaining sugar, salt, and sesame oil, add yeast/water mixture when it's ready and mix until you get a shaggy dough.
3. Turn the shaggy dough out on a lightly floured work surface, and knead the dough until it's supple, smooth, and elastic. Took me about 10-15 minutes by hand (three Band-Maid tracks).
4.Oil the mixing bowl with neutral oil and kitchen paper, and return the dough. Cover, and prove in a warm place (I did a 40° oven) for 30 min, or until doubled in size.

5. If using sliced pork (I used pork rolls for hotpots from the Asian shop), then cross-cut the rolls in half-centimetre bits. If  using mince, ignore this directive. Add to another bowl.
6. Add sake, soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce, five-spice, and black pepper. Mix very thoroughly, put aside.

7. Once the dough has doubled in size, knock the air out, and weigh it. Divide by 8, and make balls.
8. Flatten each ball and roll them out to about 10–12 cm in diameter, making sure the centre is a bit thicker than the edges.
9. Add one-eighth of the filling in the middle of the dough disk, add an eighth of the spring onions, then bring up all the edges together, pressing to seal up the bun. Give the sealed dough a twist (at the seal) to ensure nothing will get out, then flip so the sealed side is down.
10. Give your bun a bit of very gentle shaping and plop onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat. Seven more times.
11. Cover the dough balls with damp kitchen roll, and return to a 40° oven to prove a second time.

12. After 20 minutes, take out the tray with the buns, and heat the oven to 180°.
13. Whilst the oven is heating, mix your egg yolk and milk in a bowl, and brush the entire surface of each bun. Generously sprinkle with sesame seeds (don't be shy, there are supposed to be a lot).
14. When the oven is up to temp, return you now egg-washed and sesame seeded buns on their tray to the oven. Bake around 20–25 min, keeping an eye that they don't get toooooo dark. It ended up taking about 30 minutes for me, because my oven is a cunt.
15. Once baked, take the tray out and place the buns on a wire rack to cool, about 5 min or so. -Ish.
16. Gorge yourself senseless.

Note: Which ever format you decide to buy your pork in )rolled, thin hotpot slices or mince), make sure it's good and fatty. Lean pork has no place here.

comment: How does that explain NBQ’s racism, which is claims is just his hatred of Islam, which is still racist.

comment: He might be projecting his own fears, insecurities, ignorance, his aggression and his own "inferiority" on muslims. Also follows collective scapegoating.

comment: Also muslims might be carrying qualities that he suppresses in himself. He might love to follow rules and suppress spontaneity and these cultures trigger him.

comment: He relies on individual cases( like rape) to justify his projections, gives him a sense of belonging too, but ultimately disconnected from fundamental truths.

comment: He doesn't really care about the raped people, its an internal crisis.

comment: Similarly I react to Israel's ethnic cleansing, but I discern a zionist from a jew or an Israeli. He supports killing of children in Gaza but cries about rapes.

 I work with a Romanian guy that is very like graf. Took me a while on the job to realise he wasn't the boss (and everyone else was just too nice to tell him to shut the fuck up).

My Romanian critiques everything i do - everything... edits, type treatment, pacing, composition, branding, audio... like I haven't been doing it professionally for 25 years... then pumps out some of the worst design I've ever seen in my life.

Guy has zero professional courtesy, client hates him and his work, wants to get rid of him but we've explained he'll end up having to pay 4x to replace him because he loves doing all the work no one else wants to do.

After a few years I can filter out the bullshit. It's only work and I can take critique. I like the guy, we talk about gardening.

Maybe one day Grafician will do the gardening.

Canada already cut off all US booze sales, no tariff war just zero.

And DJT has been told directly if he pushes the tariffs further (to look like a tough guy?) which he now says he's gonna do, Canada will just shut off the lights, no tariff war just zero.

Canadians are actively buying can products only if possible, no tariff war just zero.

Also Canadians are just staying home now, no trip to the Four Seasons Orlando just zero.

post:
 Caught up with a friend of mine and his 3yr old son this morning at a local softplay centre.

It wasn't busy and absent of the usual deafening cacophony of shrieking children and bellowing parents too lazy to drag their blubbery arses away from the ridiculously priced coffee and cakes.

At the end of a very enthusiastic campaign of clambering, climbing, sliding and jumping my friend's young pup ran, exhausted but euphoric and jumped into his fathers arms and nestled into his neck with unconditional trust and love. As we walked to our cars his son slipped into a peaceful sleep, unwoken as he was placed in his car seat.

My sons are 19 and 22 and beautiful people but I miss those early years when they're so portable and affectionate.

comment: in his seat. I carried him from the auditorium, through a huge crowd, out to the car, and savored every bit of it. I enjoyed the smiles from people

 My daughter turned 10 in January, and she's totally excelling in all things performance and drama. She LOVES acting. She had a small role in an indie movie that shot in Indiana last year, filming at 6am before the sun came up. She's been in a couple plays, is in one right now, does drama at school in 3rd grade, is learning cello, and has become such a good singer. She's in choir at school, and in an outside-of-school choir that we pay for.

My wife manages a backstage (back page?) account for her to find jobs, and she's been fortunate this year to be in a full day shoot for social media videos for a hotel in downtown Chicago, that my son got to participate in too. Also got to do a commercial with other kids last week at a trampoline park.

It's just so much fun watching her pursue these things. Liberal arts, drama, symphony, marching band, choirs, performance clubs, etc. are all things our local high school does incredibly well. I can't imagine her in high school but I'm so excited to see her grow over the years and have all those fun opportunities available.

I think our local high school was named the #1 high school in Illinois for student clubs and such, seems like there's something for everyone. She's going to have a blast once she gets there.

 Are people with salaried jobs living paycheck to paycheck?

One coworker who's in her early 30s was trying to organize a dinner out, but asked if we could do it next week, because that's when we get paid.

Another wanted to buy some furniture from me. An old table I'm letting go for $100. She gladly took it, but asked if she could pay me the next week after payday.

The first person, I know she was recently in credit card debt due to an event, but the second one is early 30's too and seemingly has been working salaried office jobs for the last few years.

I don't know them well enough to pry, but this makes me wonder how they buy anything without stressing. They normally buy coffees and lunch at work.

 After failing with ChatGPT, I downloaded Claude Code.
Spent around $20, and now the RUST framework and app are finally set up correctly.

From what I've experienced, Claude's biggest advantage over ChatGPT is its integration with the code directory and terminal. I'm not sure if ChatGPT has a similar feature for navigating folder structures, but if not, there's no way it can compete with Claude.

BTW, I'm currently working on a P2P app for everyday transactions using Holochain. Planning to test it soon within our local community, which heavily relies on bartering and work trades.

post: After nearly 3 months on the hunt, things lit up this week. Two recruiters found me, I have an agent now, and I just completed a second round interview and am moving into a final round next week for a really nice spot. I have experienced new lows the last few weeks, so this feels really good. Wish me luck! I might be the leader of a fledgling in house creative team at a bank soon. :)
