Despite these mistakes in preparing properly for the road leading to the talk, I managed to show up on stage on time, give an (hopefully) entertaining presentation at Strange Loop 2023. I'd love to give a special thank to @jack for the tea that brought my voice back, and @jcmorrow to let me borrow their laptop and install Uxn on it for the presentation.

Also, I learnt how to cook instant noodles with a clothing iron, which was pretty neat.

@neauoire @jcmorrow hopefully it won’t be so long until we meet again 🤗

Devine Lu Linvega

@jack yeah, that was way too long a gap! My eyes are set on making it to the atlantic 🤫

Jack Rusher

@neauoire I’ll happily take a train to meet you at an Atlantic or Mediterranean port :D

@neauoire ugh this all sounds pretty awful. i've definitely been burned before.

for the last decade or so my policy has always been:
(1) plan to bring/buy/find all my own food
(2) leave the venue for my own breaks/meals
(3) have my own travel and lodging plans in place in case everything else falls through

anyway i'm glad you got through it. sounds like folks had a blast! 💥

@d6 same! these are exactly what my policies are!! you would have been fucked at strange loop haha

Avi Bryant

@neauoire @d6 the food situation both at strange loop and in the train was so stupid. I expected it on the train and so brought enough food with me but didn’t expect it there.

@avi @d6 I expected the hotel to have a kettle, a lot of my strategy was pinned on having a kettle. failure #1

@chainik @avi @d6 instant noodles is like my last recourse, nothing will stop me, I'll make ramen with a car battery and a wire if I have to

Avi Bryant

@neauoire @d6 Bōsai-kun says, always bring your own kettle.

Devine Lu Linvega

@avi @d6 hahaha, don't you dare bosai me young man! But yeah, next time I'm bringing the whole Ōryōki, with the kettle, a pouch of rice, a cast iron pot to make a fire in, I don't care, a little axe, I'll make some kindling from the furniture and make myself a small fire to roast some persimon, fuck

Devine Lu Linvega

@avi @d6 I'm glad you were paying attention during my talk btw

Josh Justice

@neauoire @jack @jcmorrow really sorry there were that many challenges. Thank you for pushing through; the talk was really impactful for me

@CodingItWrong @jack @jcmorrow I'm glad to hear :) that's making it well worth the little troubles ✊

@xChaos
S horkou vodou z rychlovarné konvice a jídelní termoskou se dá normálně vařit.

Nasázíte do termosky ingredience, zalijete vroucí vodou, zavřete a termoska vaří za vás. Těstoviny, rýže to je za 10-15 min. Polévka trvá déle, protože nakrájená zelenina (mrkev, celer, petržel, brambory) je potřeba nechat "povařit déle. A čím déle ji necháte, tím je vývar hutnější.

@neauoire Years ago I gave a nervous tech talk with a cold, a stupid hat, a broken heart, an upset stomach, a co-presenter who flaked, and following a morning walk where I stepped in dogshit. It was a huge mess. I think people enjoyed it nonetheless.

I'm sure you did absolutely great, and I'm sure you had a nerve-wracking adventure that tested you in a million ways. I hope whatever's next is chill and restorative.

@neauoire Respect to you for doing your presentation in the face of all this. :tealheart:

@neauoire Yep. I'm not vegan, but a dairy and gluten intolerant vegetarian, and I feel this thread so hard. I'm sorry this country is so unpalatable. Looking forward to watching the presentation once I can find it haha
