  Interesting way to catch tip modifications by waiters. However, I am always surprised that in this age of digital everything, where even currency has gone digital, we are still forced to depend on scam-prone manual tip checking.
  

  It's really just the US's insistence on sticking to the existing model where you get your bill and then they take your card and bring you back the receipt. The much more sensible way to do it is to bring the credit card reader to the table which solves the problem, since in that case you get to see the final amount rung up on the machine.

  #74 invite/mention showed up as an RSVP to me
  

  Turns out XRay does handle the invitee property already: https://xray.p3k.io/parse?pretty=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fboffosocko.com%2F2018%2F07%2F20%2Frsvp-to-virtual-homebrew-website-club-meetup-on-july-25-2018%2F
  
  There's a different problem with XRay tho which is that it's using the lastest microformats parser which somehow doesn't see the "rsvp" or "in-reply-to" properties on this post.
  
  Where do you see that this was interpreted as an rsvp to you? There could be something wrong with how webmention.io is interpreting this XRay object.

  Hmm odd! I see it as “activity: rsvp” in the webmention.io mentions endpoint. I’m not sure how to link to that, though.
  

  I think that's a webmention.io bug where it sees the post is an rsvp but doesn't take in to account that its an rsvp to something that isn't on your site

  I have had more than one male colleague sincerely ask whether a certain behavior is mansplaining. Since apparently this is hard to figure out, I made one of them a chart.

  Decided that Saturday would be a good day to build my new standing desk! Took all morning to straighten up my office enough to disassemble my current desk! #standingdesk #cleaning #homeoffice

• I was expecting maybe 10 people at the microblogging “deep dive” this afternoon. After all, I was scheduled opposite the great tech superstar @ttscoff! But instead the room was full, with about 40 people. It was exciting to see this much interest in microblogging.

  @aaronpk that monitor is bananas
  

  Why have two monitors when you could just have one really really wide one instead!

  @aaronpk do you need to do anything special to push that many pixels?
  

  It’s actually only half the pixels of a 4K display, so my 12” MacBook can drive it fine. It’s 3440x1440.

• TV show writers: please edit your story arcs to the (highly variable) attention span of my cat. I put a show on to give my cat a lap, then she leaves mid-episode, and somehow I end up staying to watch the rest, even though I meant to get up promptly.

  @aaronpk is ther 12" MacBook your everyday driver?
  

  Yeah that’s my main machine. I also have a 13” pro that I use for video editing and audio work. It handles final cut better than the 12” tho I can do video on the 12” in a pinch. It’s also nice to have a computer without all my normal distractions.

  @aaronpk why should this conversation be all broken? I see Aaron’s replies first and @eli’s questions. 🤔 cc @manton
  

  Looks like it got confused about the timezone?

  @smokey @aaronpk @eli must be some feed then? I think as long as the timezone is taken care of in the feeds, it should not be an issue for the reader, especially if the responses originated at Micro.blog?
  

  My replies are all sent via webmention from my website, not created in micro.blog. I’m guessing that’s where the discrepancy is.

• Turnip and Zucchini Soup

  Ingredients

  • 2 onions, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped fine
  • 1/4 cup ginger, chopped fine
  • 8 cups turnips, (about 20 small turnips)
  • 4 medium zucchini, chopped
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1/2 bouillon cube
  • 2 oz lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp curry paste
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

  Instructions

  Set the instant pot to "Sauté".
  
  Sauté the onions and garlic with some olive oil until the onions are translucent.
  
  Chop the turnips and zucchini into 1/2" to 1" sized pieces. Add the turnips, zucchini, ginger, bouillon cube, salt, pepper, curry paste and coconut milk into the pot. Add water until only a half inch of veggies are not submerged. Mix together with a large spoon. Set the instant pot to "manual" high pressure for 12 minutes.
  
  Use the quick release to release the pressure. Add the lemon juice and blend with an immersion blender until smooth.
