The lack of anything listed? I was talking about the link above with official state foods, not the OP. Love green chili as an (but who calls it chili verde?)
Having lived here for over a decade, and 2 states prior, I think the breakfast burrito deserves some recognition as an official food though. With green chili, of course.
Ooh, let me see what the state food is where I live! Let’s see, Colorado…

It’s so perfectly terrible 🥹
I was looking for “buzzword soup website doesn’t say what the product fucking does”
Maybe that wouldn’t fit in a square
My “nanopremie” daughter needed a lot coming home from NICU: medications, refilling oxygen tanks, nebulizer, plus the usual bottles and poop tracking, plus we have a dog who can’t be forgotten, etc.
I felt like half my time was spent standing in the kitchen wondering what I should do next. I ended up going old school, printing a checklist, grouped with different colors for things at different times of day and a column for each day of the week. Once I had a list that worked for me, I had it printed on card stock and laminated it, so I could use a dry erase marker to reuse it and have a rolling log of things like baths and poops.
That said, don’t fret too much about tracking that stuff. Of all the things that have advanced infant survival, health, and wellness, apps are definitely not a major driver. If it helps your sanity, fine, but also don’t get too focused on things you think will help your sanity… If that makes sense.
Especially in the last month or so I’ve been noticing how uninspiring technology has been. I used to love seeing whatever the gadget of the season was at Target while my mom shopped. Now it’s all… Phone cords, and um, printer ink cartridges. The same wireless speakers we bought years ago. Nothing about it is cool anymore!
It’s all about having multiple ways to control things, smart and dumb. For example, in my house:
When I turn off the hallway lights at night, it turns all the lights off in the house. They’re still controllable by physical switch, and that one light I turn off is just a trigger for that automation
I have a ton of windows, most of which face east. This is wonderful in winter, but turns my house into an oven early in the morning on a sunny summer day. I also like my privacy at night. So I have an automation to open the motorized shades at sunrise (fully on a cold/cloudy day, otherwise only partially) and close them at sunset. But there’s still a little button on the shades if I need to open or close one (rare)
My wife would always forget to turn on the bathroom fan when she showered, so the bedroom turned into a sauna. So naturally I got a humidity monitor and made an automation to turn that fan on when it gets too humid (and another to kill that fan when it’s run for 10 minutes)
All of this runs on Home Assistant, which is on a Raspberry Pi I have at home. The only connection to the outside world is my weather checks
Automation doesn’t mean it has to have zero human interaction to work, just that things happen automatically somehow. My oven automatically maintains a temperature, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t set that temperature first
Most of them are attempts to pat themselves on the back for being so funny
I thought the wire of the fence was just unrolled filament!
Raspberry Pi 400. I thought having the built-in keyboard would be useful and as it turns out, it wasn’t! My first thing running on a Pi so I didn’t realize how much it depends on things running remotely. Oh well!
A good workspace is a thing of Zen. Enjoy your clean workbench, because that will change in a week and it will never be this clean again!
Couple photos before caulking. Too many soulless, sterile, monochromatic kitchens out there. I have some white/gray stuff, but only with some strategy involved. Gray counters hide food. White cabinets are timeless and easy to match. I was sure to add color where I could otherwise, and the backsplash was a great option!
Been working on a kitchen renovation, bit by bit. Floors, cabinets, counter… Basically everything except for appliances and general layout. The last big step was the tile backsplash, and my friend helped me with caulking it this past weekend (she said she has a pretty good touch with that, and I know I probably don’t). Turned out pretty good!
Normally my dad would help me with stuff like that, but he lives a few states away. He knows I’ve been working on it, but hasn’t seen any progress pictures in a long time. It’ll be fun to show him when my parents come to visit this week!
Down to some trim work (floor, cabinet toe kicks) and a few other odds and ends!
Take a second to actually read this one. It’s pretty short and sweet. It’s also from 2007, and talks about nouns (maybe compound nouns) that we really don’t think and probably never knew were hyphenated. It’s not about the use we typically see today.
As an aside, I’ve noticed people start hyphenating in weird ways, like “I’ve been at this job for 7-years”
Either all toilet seats need to be soft close, or none of them.
Soon to work on my kitchen backsplash as part of a total reno. Have the “layering” figured out for height and need to get an idea of where to start the pattern horizontally so it looks nice against edges and windows and stuff
Off the top of my head

Not great, but looking at the other comments I’m pretty proud of myself
You could put a price tag of eleventy billion dollars on something and say it isn’t unavailable. When you’re effectively handing over your business for it, it practically is.
I mean, you should probably have curtains or something anyway. Sometimes you gotta be able to walk around your house nekkid.
