@xenotrope Funny enough, I'd first heard that term just a day ago. The two times I've done this it's because I'm using a food processor to mix the dough instead of my usual bread machine routine.
@undead I could see a use for DVORAK/QWERTY labeling, for those poor DVORAK users trying to type in a pre-boot environment.
@undead sounds like you should arrange a keyboard and keyboard accessories marketplace. Maybe call it keybay?

Bakers of mastodon, any tips on how to not forget to put yeast in when making sourdough #bread?

At least its sourdough, but now i have to wait a lot longer for it to rise.

Today, I learned

1) they're bringing back The Littlest Hobo
2) the old episodes are on youtube
3) the episodes i thought were the original are the second series
4) there was a movie

We couldn't afford Tommy Lee Jones.

What if the museum kills everyone except Julia?

Someone really should have a street meat cart setup outside the museum

As I sit here babysitting an upgrade into the wee hours, I have had time to ponder a melon scratcher.

Frequently (but not always), the ball on my trackball will stop responding, though the scroll ring and buttons will still work. Unplugging and plugging it fixes it, and i used that as an excuse to get a USB hub that be switched between two devices. The OS is win11 because it's for work. Almost seems normal to this point.

The weird stuff
- it only happens at home, despite having a different instance of the same trackball model at work
- it doesn't matter if it's plugged into the laptop, a dock, or the previously mentioned usb hub
- it seems to only happen if i leave it on the workspace where i have Windows App (a shit-tacular wrapper around RDP as far as i can tell)
- it only takes a minute or two to happen, and doesn't always happen. Not even long enough for the screen to blank or lock or anything

The good stuff
- it doesn't stop me from slurping my coffee after midnight

@dch i offer De-escalation-as-a-Service. Put me on the on-call rotation and I'll say it can wait until business hours, and charge accordingly for having to answer the phone.
