Little things I came across and wanted to point at. Look at this.

    Waffle House Marker System

    This video from Waffle House swept into my Recommendations today. It starts kind of unhinged, then quickly gets fully unhinged and just keeps its trajectory towards insanity.

    At Waffle House, cooks remember their orders by putting packets and other seemingly random stuff on a plate, and the types and positions of the packets tells you what order it is. Like, putting an upside down jelly packet with a mustard packet on the bottom of a plate means: scrambled eggs with 3 eggs and wheat bread. The packets are the “markers”. Want some hash browns? Cook sprinkles some hash browns at the top of the plate. Want those hash browns steamed? A butter cup is added.

    The customer doesn’t get the markers, they’re removed from the plate before it goes to the customer.

    Insanity.

    It reminded me of my weird keyboard shortcut “system”, just without the upside-down mustard packets.

    A must-watch, in my opinion.

    Saw a cat, took some photos. Cat looked like it was having one of those days.

    There are some really good and well produced concerts on arte Concert. In the past weeks, I’m totally obsessed with this live session from Kid Francescoli. It’s not only chill music, but also visually very appealing. The setting on a boat makes for some really cool camera shots. Due to the lack of an audience, it has kind of a lonely undertone to it.

    There’s a version on YouTube which cannot be embedded, hence the screenshot of a still frame. 🙃 Or alternatively on the Arte Mediathek

    I only realized a few years ago that arte is actually kind of an interesting channel. When I was a teen and still watched a lot of TV, I thought that arte is just an artsy experimental TV station for snobs. It always felt odd when they were airing something appealing and interesting, because aren’t they supposed to be weird? Maybe arte is still just an artsy channel for snobs, and I’m the one who became a snob?

    Anyways, there are also sessions from Jungle, French 79, Loyle Carner and the Grandbrothers which I can recommend if you’re interested in more.

    I also watched this Live Show from the Parcels a few times in the past weeks. It’s not from arte, but I thought I just mention it. I watched a lot of those live sessions while I’m coding in the past weeks. Don’t know where that’s coming from.
