2024 Summer Foundation Brass Band Concert

Notes

Binki is wearing the red/burgandy shirt and sitting almost off-screen to the right.

Unfortunately, the group seems a bit out of tune for this concert—especially at the beginning. I recommend checking out the last 3 tunes starting with Crown Him with Many Crowns.

Source: common knowledge, Binki’s experience, loosely based on instructions from crockpot/slowcooker thing.

Ingredients

2 bay leafs/leafs
celery
0.5lb bacon (or just get smallest package, preferrably uncured)
2lb beef (chuck roast without much fat or top round steak, best to choose cheaper)
1 cup sake
2tsp ground black pepper

BeReal. I guess I can't try last year's (this written in 2022) social media trend. (Though I can't tell if this app is just failing to use Android WebView correctly since I'm a Firefox user).
Venmo. Since I was forced, I'm just using one of my phones' SIM's numbers. But I wish people were willing to accept PayPal instead which is free for personal use and international and supports using a desktop web interface. So few things to like about Venmo!
Viber. There's a chance that if you open a support request they might override it for you, but nobody uses it anyway. Sorry, Rakuten.

See this SO answer.

Disable large send offload in host on vEthernet (to avoid messing with non-virtual adapters). Disable large send offload in guest (including Windows Sandbox!) for all adapters (unable to predict adapter names and probably all of them are real).

Product Shortcomings

This is an attempt to record shortcomings in products. I might feel like there is no proper channel for me to complain about the thing, so I attempt to record them here.

Some of these things might be fodder for my own attempts at providing solutions. When I feel like I have time to try to code for fun, I might try to hack things up with respect to these issues.

BigTime
The timers for tracking your time usage throughout the day use the pattern setInterval(() => {numberOfSeconds++; update();}, 1000) while the page is open. On desktop, this means that the timer will be 10 seconds or so behind after 5 minutes or minutes behind after an hour or more if your device sleeps. On mobile, this means that the timer will completely stop while your browser isn’t foregrounded.

I’d like to mute notifications for specific spammy people/bots without having to ignore entire channels which I otherwise care about.

I’d like to be able to walk away from my computer for a minute without missing a DM notification. Discord requires you to stare at your computer screen or continue listening to its audio for 1 minute prior to physically leaving your computer. Some people post on Discord and every other messaging service I’ve used actually tries to make sure you’re notified when people you are about message you, but not Discord:

Android app doesn't handle back button correctly when launched from a notification
