Okay, hear me out. #Costco #PretzelBagels with some butter rubbed on top and big, flaky salt sprinkled on. Do not cut. Put in the toaster oven on regular toast. Delicious! Best if the bagel starts at room temperature to properly heat.

Happy birthday, Linux! It has come a long way when everything was compiled locally to install.

Happy birthday, Linux! The meme shows the ingredients required to make a cake. The end user has to combine them in the correct order with the correct actions to get the final cake. This is a callback to early Linux where almost everything was compilled (baked) locally to install.

So I tried #Amazon same-day delivery and it isn't going well. Bets on if the order shows up tomorrow or not at all? If it does show up will it be left under the sign asking to throw over the fence?

Picture of Amazon delivery updates showing the "deliver by 6 PM" is two hours and 37 minutes late so far.

Finally fixing UEFI certifies on an older thinkcentre m920q that runs a bunch of containers and services. Required actually hooking up a monitor to edit the BIOS and reset the factory keys. Such a pain since it normally has no monitor or keyboard attached. Had to switch to User mode too.

Darn. Reddit appears to be down. I wasn't planning to be productive today but I guess now I have to...

You broke reddit. You you, personally. Millions of dollars in infrastructure and it is a loo your fault. Snoo is very disappointed in you.

Lol, #AMD Adrenalin thinks I've been playing the 2014 classic "Alien: Isolation" because Microsoft is bad at naming things. Maybe AMD needs some better machine learning...

AMD Adrenaline misidentifies part of Microsoft Office as the 2015 game Alien: Isolation because nobody else would ever use "ai.exe" as an executable name.

How about “no”, #verizon? Automated sales pitch sent after I got off the phone with an agent because #verizon hasn’t correctly applied the original promotional credit from 2022. Multiple calls and chats. The saga continues.

Verizon automated sales message being ironic since I contacted them because the promotional credit from 2022 was never correctly applied. Call every couple of months to fight about getting the credit corrected. Verizon needs my $22.22 USD no interest loan every month to stay in business.

I thought the neighbor’s water jugs had blown off the porch during the #sneaux storm. They were actually blocking water meters missing the cover and the neighbor was making sure nobody got hurt. I like my neighbors.

Nice to see #GoG doing more adverting. I had three of these already but always good to share the love. I wish there was an API to download #offline installers, but I understand how that could be abused too so manual it is. Link is www.gog.com/redeem/WELCO...

If game platforms like Steam or Epic Game Store were to disappear your games would most likely be lost. Game over. Use GoG to download offline installers for the games you love.
