“Our [Engineering Manager][…] created a ChatGPT” … No thanks, I’ve read enough.

Seconding this. The difference between science and fooling around is just keeping a journal, writing things down.

When I’m trying to hone in on my optimal experience with a particular bag of coffee, I’ll keep journal entries in this fashion: coffee name, date/time, grind setting on my burr grinder, coffee:water weight ratio in grams, starting water temperature, and time of pour; I’ll jot down a quick sentence after my first sip of how I feel about the taste, if I have time after finishing the cup I’ll jot down how I felt about the cup.

I keep the journal (A6 size, spiral bound) and pen with my coffee making materials so it’s just part of the process, I think it may be adds 2 minutes tops, and being able to accurately repeat what I’ve done on a previous day without having to try to remember is totally worth it to me.

If they’ll hold the pill in their mouth… Mine will spit if it is even a tiny bit sour or bitter.

I think his mistake was not keeping them in the bathroom. The bathroom is obviously much more secure.

No adblock apps for Roku. If you’re willing to spend money and time you could set up a local DNS server that blocks ads and make sure your Roku uses it to get to the net, search up “pihole” for how to go about it.
