Tuesday, October 15, 2024: Burned by Old Strathcona?
I am getting careless: I believe that my very dry skin was in part caused by frag-burn coming from Old Strathcona (as much as I like it, the oakmoss is probably not for me). In related news, Marmara Barber also burned the hell out of my face โ though that may be simply the fact that it's almost pure alcohol. I will probably leave OS for some time, and then confirm whether I get a reaction from it.
Last minute instructions for the BVWSC shave tomorrow: Narcisse is rather middle of the road what concerns quantity of soap needed and quantity of water you should add โ do as you would do normally. However, LPL soaps often take more work lathering than the soaps you are probably accustomed to. If it seems to be a bubbly mess, just carry on carrying on lathering โ everything will be alright in the end.
Have a good day!

Oh snap, an emacs plugin for your SOTD is next-level.
I wonder how much effort it would be to port to nvim... ๐ค
You could ask Claude, and see what happens. Often, it gets you 90% of the way.
