re: pdfs, tech advice request? 

I found the answer!

This program k2pdfopt: willus.com/k2pdfopt/

Allows you to do all sorts of transformations to pdf files.

The settings I used were:
Mode: Crop
And then I selected a cropbox that cut out the margins.

I might also try one of the other modes, which actually re-arranges the file to make it fit on smaller screens, but this is good for now.

pdfs, tech advice request? 

I have some pdfs that have huge margins on the side. Id like to read them on my phone or print parts of them out with multiple pages per sheet, but the margins make that difficult.

Is there a way to automatically slice off the margins?

(I know I can do it manually, but I have a lot of these and some of them are hundreds of pages long - here's an example: academia.edu/24762883/Transiti )

an etymology newsletter just introduced me to the word "goblintimacy"

and honestly these days I think that's the ultimate form of being yourself

Found the oil paint and gouache blender brushes in clip, and a bit over an hour of messing around got me this far.

It's not amazing by any stretch, but it's a considerable step forward from barely being able to shade

re: non-vegan recipe 

10. Combine vegetables, beef, and rice into bowls for serving.
11. Return frying pan to medium heat.
12. Crack the eggs (1 per serving) in to the pan, fry them. I prefer sunny side down, but keep the yolk at least somewhat liquid.
13. Once cooked, put the fried eggs on top of the bowls.
14. Add hot chili flakes if desired

5. Meanwhile, in a large bowl: combine 1 tablespoon seasme oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 teaspoon garlic.
6. Put beef into the bowl, mix to coat with sauce.
7. Remove vegetables from heat, set aside.
8. Return the frying pan to high heat.
9. Cook beef quickly in small batches, stir frying. You want it to cook as fast as possible.
