I got my flu shot yesterday. Often they make me feel kind of meh afterwards, but I feel completely fine. EXCEPT - the injection site is hot enough to cook pancakes on. I can feel the heat through 2 layers of clothing. The immune system is so weird

Yesterday when searching for a family tree of bat species, Google would not stop giving me information about Batman and his associates, but yes let's all call this 'Super Intelligence,' why not

On the other hand, if I designed something that was supposed to do crimes but occasionally decided to also do some vacuuming, that'd be pretty great

And somewhere a shellfish worker is submitting their resume to an insurance company and hoping they don't notice the 6 years of experience as a clams adjuster

The way the combined size of the plaques (also why are there 2 plaques per frame??) is equal to the size of the frame they are describing is making me twitchy

Always appreciate seeing the people charging up the mountain in the late afternoon wearing flip flops and carrying one 8-ounce bottle of water (usually past a sign warning you to be sure to have appropriate gear and clothing)
