Walked and ran in place while watching Explained on Netflix instant watch: athleisure, !, cryptocurrency. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk and sliced banana; water to drink. D8 meeting with Eric and James. D8 followup all day. Lunch at home with Patrick in the back yard: leftovers from last night, water. Finalized and tested the Update from the Chair html email. Dinner at home with Patrick: pinto and avocado crispy tacos with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, red onion, and cilantro, water. Mocktails: ginger ale, lime juice, pineapple juice on the rocks. Patrick made Martha Stewart's Movie-Theater-Style Popcorn mostly for himself but I had a little of it, too. We watched Aziz Ansari: Nightclub Comedian (2022) which was only 30 minutes but it was very funny, touchingly personal, and quite insightful, particularly the part about someone being trapped in a different algorithm (although it possibly could be the same algorithm but I get what he's saying)—highly recommended. We finished watching it, and I told Patrick, "Aziz Ansari is a gift to the world." Then we rewatched Urzila Carlson: Overqualified Loser (2020) because we weren't sure we had seen it but even a minute or two in we knew we had seen it before and still watched it because she's so funny. Patrick went to bed. I washed dishes. Installed iTerm 2 Build 3.5.0 beta 4 in order to get profile colors that change automatically based on the macOS dark mode setting—nice. For dark mode I chose the color preset called BirdsOfParadise and changed the foreground color to be a little less bright. Late snack: unsalted cashews, two carrots with french onion dip from a packet mixed with sour cream, pretzel sticks, water.
