Just had a second cup of coffee (on top of the energy drink I had earlier), and I’m ready to put out some good vibes into the universe for people who are having a rough go of it today. ☕️ 🫨 #coffeevibes #metta

The last thing I’ll say about the new versus used issue is that my 2015 Outback was purchased used in 2023. As such, I’ve had a lot of repairs – some of them were a bit costly (e.g., worn-out suspension parts, CV boots, and steering rack). You’ll probably have less of this on a low mileage […]

Crystal, our Subaru Crosstrek, was absolutely filthy when I came back to Tokyo (photo for reference from 2023, when she was still a new-ish member of the family). So, I took her to the ENEOS for an automatic car wash. Can’t believe I’ve lived here as long as I […] [Original post on famichiki.jp]

I left Twitter because I was permanently banned for writing about fascism. . . . . .Because Twitter is now a fascist platform controlled by the richest fascist in the world. Some of us aren’t allowed there. So, the pro-X discourse seems like desperate (fascist) propaganda.

I don’t wanna name names, but the coffee shop near my house sells the worst coffee beans. Just crappy. They were supposedly roasted 3 days ago: - Beans have little/no smell. - Lots of chaff when grinding. - Little/no bloom on pourover. - Color & flavor are weak tea strength. Kinda papery (maybe […]

Hard pass. I’m not angry. I’m disappointed that people so easily toss aside any semblance of a principle because other people are doing it. I don’t care if every dumbfuck on the face of the earth goes back to X, there’s no way I’m ever going to post there again.

Finally paid off my student loans from my first time in grad school 20+ years ago. It wasn’t an easy decision. I was lucky with selling a house that I had in Tulsa, so I ended up with just enough money to mostly finish the doctorate and pay off all my (car and student loans) debt. I’ve never […]
