Snow, etc.

Did a small shopping. A pack of BelVita biscuits (shared, 3:1) and an almond snickers (shared, roughly 50:50) worked for a mid-project refuel.

The snow stuck! Tomorrow (Friday) there may be ice.

Tomorrow (Friday) is the rescheduled oven delivery date.

I managed to dig up enough information about my motherboard (without cracking the case) that Belovedest was confident to help me narrow down my video card choices. We're going with one that can drive four monitors, and can use some of the connections we have already without excessive adapting. I hope it works. (The next obvious thing to upgrade to make it work would potentially be the power supply. And that seems hairy not for computer reasons, but for stupid house electrical system reasons.)

The household conclusion about the "pomegranate" 7-up is that it's slightly like Fruit Punch.

We have discovered other viable BelVita breakfast biscuit flavors! Cinnamon is a no-go with Belovedest. Banana is potentially an anaphylaxis hazard for me. (I haven't tested it since ~2014 and getting a lip-tingle and washing out my mouth, and that was raw/frozen, not baked.) Cranberry-orange is a household-wide hit, and they also have it at Safeway. Chocolate has an Oreo-adjacent flavor according to Alex; haven't tested it myself. Standard here is blueberry, which is fully all right. Golden oat was the only one they stocked reliably in California/LA.

I have the mattress and pillow sack in my car; I should think about blankets and linens for the Potentially Sleeping At Ev's survival kit. Also about storage for same.

To do for this weekend: psych homework about sleep schedule.

This afternoon's Strattera wasn't bad-bad, but was at least mildly unpleasant. I attempted a nap in there.

Rumor on the internet has it that Bargain Basement Justin Hammer is heading into WWII Axis shit. Ugh.

https://blorbo.social/@azurelunatic is me, for now. Of note to fandomers: this is one of the places where "illegal in Australia" is relevant. Be advised, before signing up.

Oven is in!

I am sure I will gather further opinions as I try to use it, but here's what we know so far.

* It has a Proof setting!!! (I had to explain this to the installation techs, who hadn't the foggiest but knew it couldn't possibly be for booze...?)
* It has a Steam setting for cleaning (Even though it's not hooked up to water, pointed out the techs) -- you pour a cup of water in the bottom and it cleans the oven with steam, not fire, so a lower temperature.
* It ... has wifi. DON'T GIVE WIFI TO FIRE. DON'T GIVE FIRE TO WIFI. We're considering downloading the app for long enough to ban the oven's MAC address from the local network at the router. (We would vaguely like to see what the oven is doing, if only that didn't entail also being able to command the oven remotely.)
-- does anyone know how to pirate the SmartHQ mothership so we can just reroute it to localhost? :D :D :D
* The alert noises it makes are not loud enough to reach the living room in all circumstances, even on the loudest setting. This could be a problem. Perhaps a problem that ought to be solved with technology. Of some kind.
* It does have a "make a noise until you physically touch the oven" setting, which is what it's on now.
* It does have Sabbath mode, K-star Star-K certified. Not that we need it, but it's good to know it's there.
* Belovedest: "Now I know what 'Hidden Backlit LCD' means." (The controls vanish when the oven is on standby. Tap the button area, or open the oven door, to light up the button area. I may put a tactile dot on the Cancel button just 'cause.)
-- I did in fact put a tactile horizontal bar sticker on the thing.
* I JUST HANDED BELOVEDEST A BLOOTOOTH DONGLE FOR HOME ASSISTANT PRAY FOR US (unless you're Evangelical, in which case I would appreciate Not)
