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.
