I was talking to someone today about Yemeni food and then I decided I must have it.

I’m at the ‘can make mandi without a recipe’ state of my life, which makes me happy.

I have a really good friend who is Syrian. I love the Syrian sense of humor.

I was telling him about how I feel as though in a world of super specialized people at this stage in my career, I feel like an oddball. He says, ‘you’re like fusion food. But you have to have a clear and easily understood story. Who you are, what you’re selling. Otherwise, you will be confusion food.’

It turns out that Bluesky can provide some enlightening commentary on the Farage fiasco—from Malaysia, at that:

Annoyed that all the Indian and Malaysian and Thai and Singaporean and Indonesian aunties in my life who refused to give exact measurements and times and said ‘it’s done when it’s done’ actually had the best cooking advice

I’ve been blogging recently, mostly writing about papers I published before because I realised I’ve not really blogged about them. But also funders seem to like blogs and websites as a way to disseminate research.
In any case, here’s my website and blog: https://manabusakamoto.uk/

Blog entry: Agencies must not outsource compliance to their vendor scrum team.

Incorporating HIPAA, NIST 800-53, or agency policy documents into a software development contract by reference means that the vendor will have to, at times, ignore the product owner, ignore user research, ignore the roadmap, and simply do what they believe those policy documents say to do. That is Actually Bad. Don't do that. https://waldo.jaquith.org/blog/2024/06/outsourcing-compliance/

#ToddlerDnD

Bedtime actions for Monk class toddlers:

Akimbo Attack: hits 4 different targets at the same time. Damage 1d6 each.

Compass of Comfort: toddler spins horizontally, with head and feet striking in cardinal directions. Some of those directions are the attending parent's chin, stomach, and private parts.

Rotisserie Escape: twisting out of restraints while twirling.

Projectile V: bonus action, ranged attack. Always catches the target flat-footed and prone.

I've moved from Mastodon.Social to Sauropods.Win; in celebration here's a Muscleman Tree Ant (Podomyrma gratiosa), looking a little worse for the wear—she's missing a pair of legs!

The emergency committee for north Gaza has declared Jabalia, in the northern Gaza Strip, a disaster area.

Palestinians returning to Jabalia after Israeli forces withdrew have found homes and infrastructure destroyed.

Palestinians are struggling to meet their basic needs, including safe drinking water, after Israeli forces destroyed dozens of wells as well as sewage systems and other basic infrastructure.

📍 Vietnamese Cuisine, Pagetek Foodcourt

Pagetek in Cuyonon means to fill one's stomach! It's a foodcourt along the main road right across Itoy's Coffee Haus (they serve the iconic cashew frappe).

This is Vietnamese Cuisine's seafood bowl (lots of garlic and a bit of surprise with the pineapple mixed in) and their excellent garlic cheese bread. I also liked their honey citron fruit tea, very generous with the berries. No photo, drank too fast...

I've always known that Michael Crichton held a bit of an anti-science view, but in my rereading of Jurassic Park it's become apparent to me that Crichton didn't really understand science. He writes through Malcolm that science seeks to control everything but that's not what science is about...science is just a way to understand the world around us.
It seems to me like he's criticising tech bro bosses...

Male and female California digger bees 🐝

The male has golden hair and a yellow face, the female has a black face and a whiter coat.

They both have a very long tongue, a black and white striped abdomen, and a noisy buzz. Seen together feeding on a vitex tree - and occasionally getting into an argument - at @cowboycatranch
