Recently I read a researcher describe them as quite fragile: bound to territory and routine.
And our cat gets depressed for a week when we go on vacation.

a bunch of my coworkers are all going to singapore so i've been sharing my google maps of 113 places to eat in singapore@skinnylatte
On my last visit we discovered the Shelter in Chinatown. Small place with excellent gelato in less usual flavors. Their other stuff is likely good too but that's what we sampled. -
I fear that a large portion of computer science education comes off exactly like this for students:https://I really love getting context myself. Though perhaps others might be impatient and want to get to the thing already. But the context is part of the thing.

I have the next week off, and my motivation to actually do anything is completely cratered. I just want to sleep.@datarama
Then that doesn't explain that. I think in my case it's also because I am gardening less and gardening tends to help center me. -

If you are in the northern hemisphere, I notice this season that the lower daylight conditions make me less stress resistant. Even if I am pretty happy otherwise.Of course the world news isn't helping...

i've figured out the antidote to GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome). have so much of it that you have all of your dream cameras, then you'll never have GAS again@skinnylatte
With retro computing you have people saying ohh I made a new retro computer, I made a new version of the retro computer you like, I made a virtual retro computer, i made a new gadget for your old computer, etc.(I don't own retro computers but I am somewhat at risk for GAS in the area so I know about it. I have PAS though: plant/seed acquisition syndrome)

This only has a chance of working if no new gear is ever released -
Weeks like this make me wonder: does coverage.py being drama-free mean I'm doing open source right, or am I doing it wrong? (It could have fewer open issues though...)My open source projects are generally so obscure the drama is unlikely, so that's another strategy.

Thinking about how when I spent some time in Ho Chi Minh City, people kept feeding me their ‘foods to scare tourists’ and I just kept eating it and at some point they were like, oh are you Chinese? Nvm let’s just eat fun food then (I was like I’ve been...@skinnylatte
Singapore has pretty clearly labeled halal food though and people are quite aware of the rules even if they don't eat halal themselves. -

Century eggs are ridiculously more scary sounding to Westerners than they taste. I think when I heard about them as a kid I imagined hideously rotten eggs or something.It's funny how one culture's preserved and fermented foods can appear horrible to another. Either the magically transformed food is so totally normal people forget that it's transformed at all, or the transformation process is a crazy thing foreign weirdos do.
