So it seems lean.nvim finally got rid of it's dependency on nvim-lspconfig.
https://github.com/Julian/lean.nvim/commit/4f62922d43d87e682727a4d584c6e1fc39cace62
One of the reasons I have not dived into lean much was lack of lean support without bringing in lspconfig and I did not want to use vscode.

Listening to System of a Down - Hypnotize.
Was my first SOAD album and also the first time I heard this album was on cassette by loaning a Sony Walkman Cassette Player from a friend of a friend. I could only keep it for 1 week. Played the whole album so many times throughout the week that I cycled through 4 batteries in that 1 week.
I also only found out later that the track Holy Mountains (my favorite track from the album) was referencing the unimaginable brutality of Armenian genocide.

Non veg food
Some delicious start to this Bangkok trip. Was really looking forward to all the food. Spicy Pork Fried Rice was so yummy and spicy 😋!!

Rant whatsapp
Wish Whatsapp had filters like Mastodon so I could get rid of nonsense messages like wordle and others in groups automatically.
Listening to Wargasm - Why Play Around?. Such a fun album and unique vocals. Wasteland and Revenge are so catchy.

Listening to Hedonist - Scapulimancy.

I need some Kolhapuri Misal. There is a Gavran Misal in HSR layout which is good but it is not spicy 🔥. The signature "thikat" does not have the spice and kick I need.

I generally do not reach out for medical dramas but The Pitt was so good and quite intense in parts, especially the last episodes. I look forward to S2.

It's quite chilly in Bangalore right now. 🌶️ is the need of the hour.

So crazy that this crash was indirectly caused by shitty maintenance on a DC-10.

Rant/Superstition
Seeing so called educated folks still believing in superstitions like this makes my blood boil.

Rant flights
During this last trip to London and back, I tried getting A380 to the extent I could and managed to have it for 3 of the 4 legs of the travel. The leg room is just so much better. Getting the Boeing 777 on the way back from Dubai to Bangalore, felt suffocating in return. It becomes especially congested when the person in front reclines and then it's just pain all the way to the end.

Don't know how authentic the place was but quite enjoyed the Shaanxi/Xi'an cuisine place with it's belt noodles. First time having Mapo Tofu and it did not have the numbing spice I was expecting but flavourful anyways.
