Might have been "Red Right Ankle" by The Decemberists?

According to some guy trying to neg me at a party once, my favorite song by a band I like.
When I was a kid my dad would make ant baits out of boric acid and honey, keeping them out of reach of the dog and being very clear with my brother and I that this was poison. I did the same in an apartment a few years ago to take care of an ant problem, and it worked great. About 2 parts honey to 1 part boric acid powder, I think?
You know how when you're on a voice/video call and the audio keeps bouncing between two people and gets all feedback-y and screechy?
That, but with LLMs.
My usual go-to for productivity is lyric-less "ambient" post-rock: Explosions in the Sky, God is an Astronaut, the Album Leaf, etc. I'm also usually happy when Spotify starts mixing in some Sigur Ros/Jonsi, because even if there are lyrics I can't understand them (either because I can't speak Icelandic or because Jonsi is just making "non-linguistic vocalisations" that just sound nice alongside the instrumentals). This is for when I'm at work doing detail-oriented things or writing. Lyrics or podcasts are too distracting because I focus on the words.
Also like, the US is mostly sending Ukraine existing supplies. They're "valued at" however many millions of dollars, but the cost to the taxpayer is going to mostly be paying to resupply the US military with what was sent over.
