Also the sidebar has a nested sidebar that does this, which is very entertaining. Incredible experience. 3/3

Then it took me 5 minutes (seriously) to figure out where to actually look at and edit my files. Then another minute to figure out how to open a terminal to run it, and there I discovered that it had created an entire TypeScript project I didn't ask for. 2/3

I’m still in disbelief looking at photos and videos now. We were so lucky that the largest tree missed our house. Cedar Rapids lost more than 65% of its tree canopy in 45 minutes.

This morning a baby in the chicken run. Not sure what it was doing out during the day. The internet says it’s big enough to survive on its own, though. It ran off when I turned my back.

Furry visitor returned last night. Shhh she’s being invisible. (I think it’s a “she.”) At this rate we’re going to have to name her.

@perfecthatgames.com Sort of a bug on Can of Words: “Reveal first letters” doesn’t show letters are part of an already-selected word. (Discovered this today when I couldn’t figure out why my solution with “upper case” and “lower case” wasn’t accepted.)

My chihuahua rolled in chicken poop so I won’t let him sit by me until I’ve had a chance to bathe him. He keeps shooting me the most pitiful looks. He’s going to look even more pitiful in the bath. (Pic of clean pup for tax.)

Don't try to tell me this gender stuff is anything new. Taking Back Sunday were singing about pronouns in 2002.

[Verse 1]
Get up, get up
Come on, come on, let's go
There’s just a few things I think that you should know
Those words at best were worse than teenage poetry
Fragment ideas and too many pronouns
Stop it, come on, you’re not making sense now
You can't make them want you
They're all just laughing

Got a push notification from Alexa telling me there’s an extreme heat watch for my area. This is what I got when I tapped on it. (There is, in fact, an extreme heat watch in effect for my area.) Love getting gaslit by AI.

Screenshot of “Alexa+ Preview” chatbot session with the prompt “Weather Alert: Extreme Heat Watch in St. Paul, Minnesota” answered with “I've checked the current weather alerts for St. Paul, Minnesota, and there are no active alerts at this time. Are you sure about the Extreme Heat Watch?”

Google AI thinks the “gender-neutral bucket” is a real thing, citing a satirical piece in a student newspaper.

Screenshot of Google AI overview; it begins: “The ‘gender-neutral bucket’ refers to an emergency alternative installed by students outside a closed gender-neutral restroom at De Anza College. First highlighted in the student publication La Voz News.”

We had this book, Trouble For Trumpets, when I was a kid. It had these incredible cross-section illustrations by Peter Cross. I think about it often and wish I could share it with my kids, but my mom doesn’t have it anymore and neither does my sister, and used copies are crazy expensive.

I misplaced my Eufy doorbell detaching tool and am bereft. Sure, a paperclip works fine, but this thing was perfectly designed and, unlike the cheap replacements on Amazon, magnetic for sticking to the fridge.

When I was a kid the local grocery store had a VHS tape of a few episodes of this series to rent, and I did, repeatedly. I was fascinated by the transforming plant-vehicle hybrid baddies. “Gun Grinner” is such a great name for a character with guns sticking out of his mouth.

I like when they make you sign your name on a touchscreen and then they print it out (badly) on the receipt. Very legit.

There are a dozen little improvements I’d like to make but for the moment I’m entertained.
