@sohkamyung Hah! I still have trouble with white balance on sunsets and late afternoons.

My first digital camera was an Olympus, though I don’t remember the exact model. I lost it somewhere in my old apartment, right before Comic Con. Never did find it again. None of the Olympus models on this sight look quite right for what I remember.

Apparently tomatoes have inactive genes for producing capsaicin, so scientists are trying to use CRISPR to activate the genes & create a spicy tomato, figuring it’ll be easier to grow than peppers.

Dreamed that Lily Potter had survived Godric’s Hollow, completely obliviated. Unable to find any clues to her previous life, she built a new one as a muggle. Harry found her in his late teens, and they tried to reconnect, but the curse had left her unable to form long-term memories of anything magic, including Harry. Knowing she had new holes in her memory terrified her. Her muggle husband wanted to help, and started trying to develop technology to enhance memory charms.

Interesting #geology read: There’s a break in the rock layers in many places worldwide, ending 700 million years ago. One hypothesis: an ice age with enough glacial activity to scour the crust worldwide. As it turns out, they’ve found signs of a massive surge in rocks being recycled through volcanoes around that time…

(Commenting on a post about LineageOS)

I’m still embedded in the Google ecosystem on other devices, but I’ve used LineageOS (and its predecessor CyanogenMod) to resurrect my old Galaxy S4 – twice! It’s now functioning quite well as a backup phone with a kid’s profile for camera, games, etc.

I’d like to use it on a 2015 vintage Galaxy Tab A, but there don’t seem to be official images, which means I may need to figure out how to build it on my own.

We’ve finished off the “Brown Cheesey Cookies” that my wife baked, inspired by @janellecshane‘s list of AI-generated cookies.

They were quite tasty, despite being made with actual cheese! (Babybel, specifically.)

She wrote up the inventing process and final recipe here:

@nolan I wonder if this is a factor in why I get spam asking to do guest posts on my personal blog (rather than a topic-based blog). It seems weird, like doing a sponsored toot or a guest personal FB post…but people *are* doing sponsored Instagram posts, and if they’re doing it on their personal accounts too, maybe it doesn’t seem like such an outlandish idea to let someone write a guest post about casinos on your personal site. 🤷‍♂️
