Cryptocrystalline Shrikes

The WcDonald's savory chili sauce is (a) mostly sugar and (b) nonetheless infused with a not-bad gochujang-like flavor.

There's something that feels odd about the way this defictionalization has happened.

Today: reading “Easy weeknight meal solutions” as “Easy wee knight meal solutions” and imagining tiny guys with armor and swords reaching tiny arms down to adjust the oven dial, teaming up to move a spatula, cutting vegetables with their swords…

zzzzzzzzz

*wakes up* if the RNG has an equal chance of generating any possible sheep layout and can be forced by external inputs then we may be able to brute-force it down to a 27- or 28-room path in TAS, and if it's a 32-bit RNG it's still possible something in that vicinity will work, but if it's a 16-bit RNG then our chances are much worse, and if the code explicitly spreads the sheep out by e.g. picking from different pools then that whole approach may be unworkable *yawwwn* also does speedrunning broadly recognize “centaur” approaches where there's mechanical information support but the player still has to do all the inputs as a category? since that seems like it'd be between Original Recipe and Tool-Assisted but I bet it's rarely done *squawk* okay I should probably have breakfast shouldn't I

Okay, I guess both our primes got their working states corrupted enough to not look safe to nudge back into shape normally, but we've got intact queen patterns for both of them, so I guess we're clearing their working arenas as best we can and restoring them from those.

Well. This is annoying.

Some of the working groups trying to deal with underlying problems are intact, at least.

(There's actually some slightly more concrete proposals for more disaggregation on average going around, which are getting a bunch of approving looks, but it remains to be seen whether that's practical. Similar to the credit scheduler sort of stuff Teneb was trying to work out a year or two ago when there were a lot of conflicting internal demands.)

Unclear whether this is related to recent changes in medication (antidepressant dose increase and added anxiolytic). Vote is in favor of dropping the latter for now to test whether this is being generated or amplified by some kind of unexpected dissociative effect from that. Weather (it's been Extra Unpredictable Rainening lately) and deliberate isolation are also possible stressors. And they were trying to do some reshuffling at the time to, like, degauss. Maybe this is even expected after that? We'll have to make sure the question gets posed once they wake up again.

Anyway.
