when we called you “red” the other day i immediately thought of this

i listened to crash yesterday while i was vibing my way through that workflow

this is actually crazy surprising to me

sometimes i’m reminded of the horrors of Alt and ALT
bluesky social-app prefixes gif alt text with a different string depending on the source (tenor or user). when gif embed posts are shown, the alt text is parsed to check for this prefix. if a user created it, the alt text is displayed. otherwise, it is not.

// Kind of a hack. We needed some way to
distinguish these.
const USER_ALT_PREFIX = 'Alt: '
const
DEFAULT_ALT_PREFIX = 'ALT: '

funny that the extension only supports images and not videos anyway

did i accidentally create a new guarantor account, cash drawer, and two dozen worthless transactions in the process of making a new encounter? yes did i successfully demonstrate that same-day partial givebacks are possible from the same CSH record as long as there are separate payment ETRs? also yes

but kyler (and it is kyler in this context), i hear you ask, how would there be separate payment ETRs for the same CSH record? boom easy, if you collect a prepayment/copay/previous balance at the same time and the payment source is not a check.

glad i updated drearyview to get pfp blobs on update
