  • Tori Amos commented on the allegations:

    And if the allegations are true, that’s not the Neil that I knew, that’s not the friend that I knew, nor a friend that I ever want to know. So in some ways it’s a heartbreaking grief. I never saw that side of Neil. Neither did my crew. And my crew has seen a lot.

    Gaiman is the godfather to one of her kids and apparently she was pretty close to him. If she didn’t know, I feel like Terry Pratchett wouldn’t have known either. This isn’t like with Epstein where association implies knowledge of what was going on. After reading all that I have on the allegations, I’m comfortable believing that Pratchett wouldn’t have known anything about the alleged sexual assault and if he knew anything, it was that Gaiman was known to sleep around… consensually… with adults. (Because apparently this seems to be known among people close to him… including that he and Palmer allegedly had an open marriage)

    So unless further info comes out that indicates otherwise, I will continue to enjoy Pratchett’s works.










  • If you are looking for FOSS, I highly recommend joplin. It’s simple but works well. I used it for many years until recently I switched to Obsidian. I dislike that Obsidian isn’t FOSS but I’m using the free tier and the community plugins really make it so much more powerful than Joplin. They both store things in Markdown so I’m not locked down to their ecosystem which I think is a requirement for any note taking app.








  • Induction is where it’s at if you want electric. It works similar to how a transformer works. The stove makes a magnetic field that your cookware reacts to. The downside is that all your pots and pans need to be magnetic. Fortunately this is easy to test with any magnet (like a fridge magnet even).

    You can get single stand alone induction burners for less than $100 if you want to try it out. Some are more powerful than others.

    I’ve been wanting to replace my stove for a while and I still keep going back and forth between gas an induction. I still kind of prefer cooking on gas but there’s some controversy about air quality and gas stoves. But I can tell you, if I don’t get a gas stove… I’m gonna get an induction one.
