I am now of a certain age. Where there are kids at work with relationship issues. Where *I* have kids. With relationship issues. Where I <gulp> may have lived experience / ad...advice. , Or I'm at least expected to at this point? . Humans haven't really change much, have they? 5k years, same story.

Why are there so many fr...igging gross apple varieties? Also, how confident are you that the screen won't be borked after 9mo of open-close use? Also also how confident are you in the anti-dismissed-DM-I've-been-waiting-for (aka anti-butt-dial aka palm/cheek/pocket rejection) algos for this phone?

Good to see a book where a shiftless lazy lay-about 8-year old finally got it together.

Scooby survival (Supernatural Buffy etc survival): if you're in the dark and you hear something turn on every light you can everywhere. Especially don't wander around your house in darkness - light it up. You'll see it coming, scare it off, or know (if lights don't work) something BAD's happening.

3:20pm CST @nasaartemis.bsky.social mission live as they approach the moon Huston: "Copy that Integrity <in the background Werewolf howl sound effect is going off>" . I have no idea what exactly Huston said, I was too busy laughing at Mission Control Teen Werewolf edition.

@nasaartemis.bsky.social live feed: Artemis: "...the accelerometers are supposed to have kapton tape on them, aaand they do not. Somebody's Monday is gonna suck: "Hey Bill, guess what you forgot that was found out on live space TV?"

Artemis chatter about 5 hrs after launch: There is toilet trouble. Huston: "did you remove the cap per instruction five?" Artemis: "the instruction I just followed earlier? Yes". Huston is now rebooting the toilet. ... surely not funny to them, but I'm rolling

Today, I am the guy in the office that brought fish for lunch. But really, it's the fault of Sithak Sithrak: the god that hates you. Let him into your heart, blame him for everything :)

<worry> Just everything on a smartphone to the Next Level "Welcome to the Internet" in a smiling friendly plastic carapace. Too, "what the holidays are about" died when people were punching each other for fad toys decades ago. It hasn't ever improved. (ref: count how often xmas is ref'd in ads)

Take: Trump and Biden are the same. Old guys in decline elected because they're easy to manipulate. Hillary and Kamala had spine; the money behind the politics ran the numbers and they cost more to influence (read: buy). Weak candidates are like black Fri deals; better product passed up

Tiny gripe: websites titled "How to do " [something] that lead with an often online-recipe-worthy explanation of *why* you should do the [something]. Is it an algo thing? Because if I'm on a site titled "how to", I probably don't need further persuasion on the why :)

At what point is debt not real? If I carry a $3k balance on a credit card for 10 years, clearly the lender is perfectly fine with/o $3k and just the fees. If a country carries a balance for 50 years, how is that different than ignoring the debt and just paying the lenders the fees as a wage?

So, I'm supposed to unmask, not have to mask, allow me to be me, etc. What if I don't like who the a$$hole under the mask is?

Power strip feature: "Tested on Humans" uh I don't think you are supposed to use a power strip on humans. They run on cheezeburgers, not kilowatts

Does "Golden" from @kpopdemonhunters.bsky.social remind anyone else of "Run Away With Me" by @carlyraejepsen.music-social.com? I don't know which remix: the version she performed on Seth Meyer's show waaaay back when.

AFAIK, there is a very decent body of research that suggests plants communicate with each other through the soil, via chemical signaling, and that there is a lot of chatter in the florasphere. I sometimes wonder if it's a cruelty to keep potted plants. Alone. Isolated. Like a lone guinea pig.

The joke of smartphones is they can do anything except make an actual voice phone call. I'm not amused anymore. Mostly because when someone is calling me (that is not a scammer/spammer), it's usually urgent and/or un-textable. The worst time for a call to not work.

These days almost all writing is done on computers. The only place people write by hand anymore is shell casings.

Blast from the past today: been a while since a site imposed an *upper* limit on PW length. Way to keep it safe with those standards UL (can't @ them: apparently Bluesky is to modern for them?)

Work seems very focused on creating and reviewing procedures, but not so concerned with anyone following them. I guess if we document this SOP, it's still ISO?

I flip my work computer off so much I may develop a repetitive strain injury. Would that be Bad Birdie Syndrome? New York Salute Syndrome?
