@tether 🙁 🤞

@ari_cat Unfortunately, it's supposed to be in the 60's Fri and Sat. Which is far too warm for January, even for Oklahoma! So we're yo-yoing between extremes, and the continually shifting fronts are hard on everyone with allergies. *sigh*

You staying warm, too?

@ari_cat Nope! Though it was a close call yesterday. A whopping 9F when I walked the block-and-a-half from my car to the music building for choir, and I'd thoughtlessly changed out of my warmer clothes from earlier in the day. So, so frigid!

@snipejaeg *snerk*

Oh! Just remembered:

Dreamt last night that the tenth Doctor was the head of my #library. We had a very difficult time convincing him that budgets are, in fact, much less flexible than time.

@matt Yeah, unfortunately that's kind of part of a doctor's training--medicalize everything, and ignore other factors. Kindness is good, though.

@somekindofcrow Now I just have to learn the Pokemon theme! (I are old.)

@likecroft It's frightening and exhausting to think about for too long. And yet it's our current truth.

@platypus Oh, I forgot the obvious: the. Just shy of 222mil. (Surprisingly, "a" was less, at ~155mil.)

@platypus Hrm. Guessing ExL doesn't want a null search possible due to server load or something (we're hosted). No way to remove the word afterwards, either.

So far, largest set I've been able to return is for "red", at 14.5 million (searching outside lib's collection).

@matt Glad you got something out of it, but...yikes. What an awful psychiatrist.

@aldersprig Not that I can think of--but part of what I'm enjoying so much is that they're finding things that I wouldn't have thought of!

@platypus Huh. I can't do that. Have to put in some bit of text or get a "no results found."

@aldersprig Tootplanet, please! (Really enjoying that series.)

@platypus *nods* That's how we have it set up now, but wrt availability. There's a little checkbox to expand the search to "outside the library's collection".

Out of sheer curiosity, what search term/s got you that many hits in the first place?

@noelle Hmmm...that has potential! Thanks! (Particularly good because the tenor in question is a gamer.)

@matt Sending good vibes, and articulate ones. Hope all goes well.

@platypus We're enough smaller than y'all to not get quite such large results, but still it's ridiculous. Just makes people's eyes glaze over, at best.

Good on you for making that change. I've not gotten to a place where I'm comfortable enough with Primo to attempt something like it.

@Xial I'm so sorry! But also kinda glad it isn't just me.

@Altruest 💛💚💙💜
