tfw McDonald’s raises prices faster than their menu names can keep up with. literally nothing is under $3 on the “Under $3 Menu” anymore... 🙄 anyone else remember when a McChicken was just $1? 😭

A screenshot from the McDonald’s app with a heading that says “Under $3” in large text, but with all the items below it having prices over $3…

A McChicken sandwich is labeled “featured” and shown with the price $4.89, McDouble is $5.09, Hot ‘N Spicy McChicken is $4.89, 4 Piece Chicken McNuggets is $4.19

Goldie likes to relax with a good book too! 😮 #ACPC 💙📚

Goldie saying:
“Reading outside is the life, but... it can get too hot in the summer!”

Goldie saying:
Even if it's hot, though, I'd love to take off to a tropical resort, sit under a nice tree, and relax...

Goldie saying:
And by "relax" I mean read a good book, of course. Just thinking about it fills me with warm fuzzies!

the juxtaposition between these two things on my desk is killing me lol. more proof i’m an enigma… my new bio should be: hi, i’m cupppcakes and my skills include fighting rpi networking issues while also fighting tmi body issues 💀

A white desk with two boxes side by side. (tl;dr UTI stuff in one and a USB antenna in the other.)

One is a larger pink-and-white colored box that says Uquora Flush Advanced+ Urinary Tract Drink Mix. It includes pill-shaped callouts that says “Designed for women with recurrent urinary tract challenges” and “Dual-Action Formula” with D-Mannose and Whole Fruit Cranberry Powder shown beneath it.

The other box is black-and-dark blue colored that says Sonoff Dongle Lite MG21 Zigbee/Thread USB Dongle. It says it’s compatible with “Home Assistant” and “Zigbee2MQTT” in pill-shaped callouts.

thank you Bee for reminding me to milk another KU promo! meant to cancel until my reading slump is over, and as expected they gave me another offer to stay 🤭 i’ve got so many books that i started and didn’t finish, so hopefully i can get through them all in the next 3 months

Screenshot of a part of Amazon’s retention website that says “Extend your Kindle Unlimited plan for an additional 3 months.” It shows the full price of $35.97 crossed out and then $9.99 as the new price for 3 months. Two buttons below say “Redeem offer” or “Cancel membership”

not sure how those of you that live in areas that have wildfire more often handle the smoke so casually 😭 i was only outside briefly and still immediately felt awful. and i know this isn't even as bad as what some of you have to deal with 🫠

A box titled Air Quality that shows a purple icon next to an AQI level of 213. The description says "Very Unhealthy." in bold, followed by "Health alert: air quality may cause serious health effects. Limit outdoor exertion."

since i'm going down memory lane and dating myself with my music, i might as well say how i also miss Borders bookstore so badly 😭 i have so many memories of going there since i was small and spending hours in their stacks. if they were still around i'm sure B&N would be just a blip on the graph 💙📚

oh so i asked my doctor for a new spacer for my inhaler and she gave me the one that has an extra mask thingy for kids. so if i’m the stock art on these boxes i’ve literally gone from reading in the grass to being a kid on the swings 😭 i guess it’s accurate for how my brain feels lately tho? 🤠

Two cardboard boxes side by side for inhaler spacers zoomed in on the art on the box.

The box on the left is my new one and has stock art of a child on a swing (because it also includes a “medium pediatric mask” for 1-5 years olds…)

The box on the right is my old one for adults and has stock art of an adult laying in the grass with a book.

(Also both say “Philips Respironics OptiChamber Diamond Anti-static valved holding chamber for use with metered dose inhalers”)

random question: thoughts about Marshal in the wedding singer vest? 👀 some side-by-sides:

Marshal in his usual blue denim jacket, standing in front of a white electric guitar and white amp, both with golden accents.

Marshal in the same scene as before, but wearing a “Wedding Singer Vest.” It’s a textured champagne-beige-ish colored vest with a matching bow tie worn over an ivory button-up dress shirt.

Marshal in the same scene as before, but wearing the Wedding Singer Vest and holding the electric guitar while standing in front of the amp. His eyes are closed as he confidently plays the guitar. To his left is Sprinkle, a cream and aquamarine-colored penguin, holding up a red tambourine and looking very excited. In the background is Molly, a brown duck, dancing to the music.

Marshal in the same scene, but wearing his normal blue denim vest instead. Behind is Mallary, a purple duck, dancing to the music.

The back of a UPS battery backup showing a internet coaxial input cable completely melted off and only leaving the connector left screwed into the back of the UPS. The UPS is visibly bulging where the connector is.

A completely burned and melted piece of coax cable. At the very end is about an inch or two of just thin wire. Then another inch or so of metal shielding is exposed. Then an inch of visibly blackened and melted rubber, followed by discolored brown rubber. This used to be a completely white cable.

here's a new "me from a book" from my re-read of Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. took me back to my days in the lab at school, and the Canadian line was perfect lmao

"Man, being an American scientist sucks sometimes. You think in random, unpredictable units based on what situation you're in."

"I think mostly in metric when doing science stuff."

"When I'm stressed out, I revert to imperial units. It's hard to be an American, okay?"

"I'm Canadian, by the way. But don't worry! I'm not one of those anti-American Canadians."

off-topic, but the way this notif came in right as i was trying to do something silly 🤭👌 i found a quote from ACOSF and it seemed so memeable lol. thought about your sister and Fourth Wing but was thinking about one more person to add lol 🤭🫣

Original quote that says:

"Have you read Sellyn Drake's novels?" Nesta shook her head. Emerie gasped, so dramatically that Cassian muttered something about sparing him from smut-obsessed females before heading farther into the ring. "You must read her books. You must. I'll bring the first one tomorrow. You'll stay up all night reading it, I swear."
