nothing you make needs to have wide appeal. there is value to simply creating an artefact proving you were here. that you did something outside or inside yourself

The only thing I can figure is that I purchased it over the short winter break I get. So maybe it was an impulse purchase where I thought I was going to get down time and relax and do something different, which has never happened ever during that small break. So wishful thinking strikes again, probably.

racked and tested the blackberry wine I started a few weeks ago. I was afraid the heat had hastened the fermentation and ruined it, but I got the fermentation stopped and had to sweeten it a bit and now it's in real good shape. will bottle it a few weeks from now and it'll be ready in the winter!

I have no idea what I'm doing but it's fun and tasty.

Not only this official Ontario, Canada court decision is a satisfying defeat for overzealous police forces that public defenders from all over the world would envy, it also is written in an equally satisfying personal blog post tone.

It's interesting to see the anti-science fanatics either dying of the disease they deny or desperately drinking sheep drench & horse dewormer to prevent the disease they claim doesn't exist.

You can convert a slice (or a `Vec`) to a fixed-length array using the `TryInto` trait:

let arr: \[\_; 4\] = slice\[..4\].try\_into().unwrap();

It's a bit verbose, but the `.try_into().unwrap()` part will be optimized out entirely whenever the compiler can see the slice is long enough.

"Unfortunately" this doesn't generalize to all attributes, so you can't have a cursed syntax like that:
