a squeeze bottle is probably the stupidest packaging for honey and I'm ashamed I didn't realize that before purchase 😔

I try to keep an open mind about most ideas. As long as they aren't manifestly and obviously evil and destructive, I'll hear them and consider the merits. That said, I can't seriously engage with "objectivism" as promulgated by Ayn Rand and those who follow her. It's a philosophy so obviously detached from how people actually live that I can't see it working with actual humans.

I've been reading "Working in Public" by Nadia Eghbal. It definitely struck a chord with me on the nature of dealing with contributors *on GitHub*; however, at least so far (I'm only about a tenth of the way in), I'm frustrated by Eghbal's conflation of the world of open source software development with the subset that happens on and around GitHub, and even with a particular group of prominent developers. No doubt, there is a lot of gravity around that platform, but I'm still convinced that there's important work that only incidentally interacts with GitHub that is missed by this focus.

( I'm going to continue to post in this thread about the book as in reading it, mostly to keep me going, since I often stop reading books part way through more from distraction than as a positive choice.)

Made some rolls from this recipe, but adapted it because I don't do dairy. I used coconut oil in place of butter, almond milk instead of cow's milk, and just skipped the dry milk. I'm not sure I did the tangzhong quite right since I don't have a whisk and it wasn't as thick as I've seen in a video 🤷‍♂️
Was a real workout to form the dough, the gluten was so strong.

I think they turned out pretty well overall, though the taste is a little bland, so I think I'll try to add some kind of sour element and more salt next time. OTOH, I really like the look of them, which is why I decided to make them in the first place.

The UTM video on here is super cool. I remember reading about early conversations in FAA (IIRC) public hearings about how to integrate UAVs into existing air traffic control where the conclusion was basically 🤷‍♂️. It's tremendously heartening to see what developed out of that early period within only a few years.
