I’m really trying to get my head around any explanation, even if it’s just pretense, against the idea that counting all of the votes as accurately as possible is what we would want to do in all cases. It makes no sense to me.

This is what my inbox in Mail looks like most of the time. I get visibly uncomfortable when I see an “8739” badge on someone else’s Mail icon.
Today has been a very tiring day, but it ended well ☺️
Twenty-four hours in I’m still loving the 40mm Watch size, but you definitely notice the battery life hit.
If you go to the help menu, PCalc comes with an ePub book explaining the app.
PCalc makes me want to get a lot better at math and also makes me think I need to read a tutorial on how to use it.
My meditation/shrine area has moved up to my office. Currently having a disagreement with Link on whether the cushion is for practicing zazen or is the best dog bed in the house. I guess it could be both?
Oak may be my new recommendation for a meditation app. It’s free, has nice guided options, doesn’t bury unguided, and I like the bells. I recommend “triple bronze bowl” to start and “bronze bowl” to end. itunes.apple.com/us/app/oa…
I’ve been extremely pumped to vote in the Nov 6 election for almost two years, and now it’s done. So that’s a thing.
Kind of thinking of getting another mechanical watch instead of a new Apple Watch. The health stuff is great, but I don’t love any of the faces, and it’s very costly for something that needs to be updated so often.
At the vet with Link to get a hurt toe checked out. Poor little guy.
Survived the one day retreat today with my Zen sangha. Legs and back are a little sore but otherwise it was a great experience.
Got up for my second week volunteering with the food bank. Going a lot faster this week (or at least it feels that way).
“What Buddhism Teachers of Self and No-Self”
The idea of non-self is sort of a hard concept at first, but makes a lot of sense the more you consider it.
I wrote a Shortcut that downloads the gravatar image for all of your contacts that have an email but no photo (and have a Gravatar). I feel like a genius.
Based on this PEW poll, it seems like the only thing Republican voters really get fired up about is immigration. Which would explain a lot. apple.news/Ae5yJxfSU…
When I first started looking at the Shortcuts app I couldn’t really think of much I wanted to do with it, and now I have four or five that I use all the time.
Feeling quite anxious today and not sure why. Maybe a walk would do me good.
Volunteered driving around, picking up donated groceries and lifting heavy boxes for the first time today at the Queen Anne Food Bank. It feels good to do something helpful to other people without being rewarded for it.
Oh I thought of a second thing. It’s a crime that you can’t trigger a Shortcut based using automation in the Home app.
The only thing I would like (and I’m really surprised is missing) is to be able to also say to AirPlay the podcast to one of my HomePods instead of having it play through my phone.
My favorite Shortcut I’ve made so far is called “I’m up.” It turns on all my lights, marks my “up by 8:30” habit complete in Productive (if it’s early enough), and starts playing the Up First podcast by NPR.
I need to declare Finder Tags bankruptcy, delete all the ones I have and figure out if there’s a system that can actually make them useful.
The biggest thing I’ve noticed from intentionally eating significantly less sugar is that I don’t get hungry so much, so I end up eating less overall. Most days I’m eating some version of rice with a vegetables and tofu with a little reduced-sodium soy sauce.
Purchased a new kapok meditation cushion and matching zabuton from DharmaCrafts that I’m really liking. Considering a bamboo mat to cover the floor and maybe replacing my little bookshelf eventually.
