    Update: got up at 4:30am and took a shower and now heading to the airport, ETA 45 minutes before boarding

    I decided I would appreciate being home at 9:30am instead of 5pm more than I will be annoyed at having to wake up at 4:30am, so I changed my flight home to the early flight. Hope I don't oversleep! #travel

    @aaronpk That building reminds me of one I used to work in, in Bellevue, Washington in 1995.

    Aaron Parecki
    Is it the same building??

    @aaronpk
    As @cjk said, ganz is even smaller.

    Aaron Parecki
    In that case wouldn't it be:

    klein, sehr klein, ganz klein

    small, very small, embodying the concept of smallness

    @aaronpk
    I might not know about nuances in the English language, but "ganz klein" means "very little". "Quite small" could also work.

    "Completely small" would be "total klein" or "vΓΆllig klein".

    Aaron Parecki
    ok thanks, so definitely not the "completely" meaning then.

    So when would you use "sehr klein" instead of "ganz klein"?

    @aaronpk I find the same result by making a batch of stew or chili, which I am apparently unable to do at reasonably small scale. I suppose I should buy a small pressure cooker, but it feels like the same effort to make a vat's worth at a time.

    Aaron Parecki
    It's about two weeks from chili season! I can't wait to make a big batch in the instant pot!

    @aaronpk You plan to eat the same stuff for a week? Isn't that boring over time?
    Aaron Parecki
    I also have a really busy week coming up and I'd really like to not have to think about what I'm going to eat

    @aaronpk oh goodness. I stayed at one of those in Redwood City. I heard rats in the walls, and someone tried to break into my laptop when I wasn't there (the hotel claimed the cleaning lady thought someone had left something in the room so went through my stuff - according to the police report)

    Aaron Parecki
    lol oh gosh. Well I haven't left my room since I got here and I'm not leaving until I check out in the morning. The small benefits of a one night stay.

    @aaronpk Ugh!

    I used to have to hassle the corporate travel system, to get them to allow me to stay in a cute chalet-style Inn in Switzerland that was a quarter of the price of the shitty business hotel that they wanted to put me in in Geneva for the whole weekend.

    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah if this was more than a one night stay, or if I were doing this regularly, I would make a better plan

    @aaronpk next time, check out the coastside. Pacifica to Half Moon Bay. Hotels are a little cheaper, and there’re some good Airbnb. :-)

    Aaron Parecki
    Not during DreamForce πŸ‘€

    Also I have to use the company portal to book hotels. There are only 2 options showing up, which I could have done, but also would have added $100 in Lyft rides

    Reconsidering my car

    Aaron Parecki
    This kind of post is such a good reminder that I should not be mad at the occasional $8 bike rental or $30 Lyft ride every month or two. I can't even comprehend spending $800 every month! I could buy so many burritos for that much!

    @aaronpk you make it sound like filling your kitchen with capsaicin isn't a desirable outcome

    Aaron Parecki
    I have done that before and it is not pleasant! There's no smell, just burning

    Easy! Just throw a couple of pounds of cooked beef in a blender and stir it on in!

    Tada! 12 bottles of hot sauce!
    Aaron Parecki
    Don't forget to label them so you know which batch is which! I use these paper tags with elastic so that I don't have to continually clean off stickers from the bottles when I reuse them.

    Cook on high pressure for 30 minutes, let the pressure come down naturally or you'll fill your kitchen with capsaicin

    @aaronpk

    Lol. I was literally thinking only about 2 hours ago that I should start making more of my own condiments, but that I'd have to look up some recipes and Fediverse... you've done it again (thanks Aaron!). And vegan, too, no less!

    #HotSauce #Recipe #Vegan

    Aaron Parecki
    Haha thanks! I don't know how you'd make a hot sauce that *isn't* vegan tho πŸ˜…

    Add water until everything is submerged (about 2 cups) and give it all a good stir
