I met my wife 40 years ago, today. Funny story, I actually met her 40 years ago TOMORROW but because of the lack of Internet in the late 80s and how hard it was to go find out which day it really was we started celebrating on the 3rd Thursday of October. it just became habit...

If you ever subscribed to a magazine via the Zinio website you should go in and check the status. I just found a subscription I KNOW FOR SURE I cancelled in 2020(!!!) was still autorenewing and I never noticed.

I love @camtasia.com SnagIt. I've been a user since like 1999. That said...TODAY is the first time that I've updated my version and had to NOT reboot and remap my hotkeys after the upgrade. Kudos for this but jeers for having it take 20+ years to get it right. :-)

As a techie person it drives me NUTS that large organizations that take payments can take and process my payment on a Monday and send me a confirmation but then somehow STILL send me a "We havent received your payment" email on Wednesday based on data from Monday, before I made my payment. REFRESH!!

Today was the first time ever that I was surprised I got my ballot. I've never once before in my life had to worry that I might not get to vote. But, that is part of their plan. For them, lack of trust in the government isn't a bug, its a feature.

There’s a big gun range about 4 miles from my house. ICE and the Boarder patrol shooter. Lots of automatic fire today. (Sound up)

Yes, Eva Marie Saint was a great actor but how is her death, at the age of ONE HUNDRED AND TWO considered 'breaking news' by the NY Times but Trump calling for Iran to kill 10 million americans ISNT?! The term Breaking News no longer has any meaning at all.

Everyone deserves to be loved the way some 50ish white dudes love dismissing people that don’t post under their real name as cowards. As if making up a fake name and photo is SO HARD. Lol

Ordered groceries and then had to watch the driver on the app drive 3 mile circles around my house for 45 mins. How are you a delivery driver in 2026 and you can’t read GPS directions. I finally had to walk down to the street and flag him down

Ordered an Item on Sunday. It promised delivery by Wednesday. On Tuesday they emailed me congratulating themselves on shipping 'early' and proudly announcing I would have it on Thursday. Today, they are again bragging that Im getting it 2 days early when Im really getting it a day late. LOL

My son got me into birding and then convinced me to buy a spotting scope. Then I found an adaptor that lets me snap my iPhone onto the scope. Here is a mourning dove shot from 500 feet away.

My wife coaches women on a device that offers bio-feedback via a phone app for teaching women how to do pelvic floor exercises to correct incontinence. The Internet has fun lambasting men for not knowing how womens bodies work but Im here to tell you...a lot of women also dont know either.

New client is "very security conscious" so it took them 2 weeks to get me an account. Background checks, MFA setup, etc. Then they email me my temp password in plain text, and when I tried to reset it to a new one I get an error. I call and IM NOT ALLOWED TO CHANGE MY PASSWORD FOR A WEEK!

I sometimes get knocked down, however, I routinely get back up again. It behooves one to not attempt to keep me down. Please excuse me while I partake of a whiskey drink, a vodka, drink, a lager drink and maybe even a cider drink, during which I will sing songs that remind me of several times.

I love it when clients try to tell me Im wrong about the product I've spent pretty much my entire adult life being an expert with. Client: "Oh those multiline Project-Level fields are all plain text in Project Online" Me: Oh, you mean those fields that have bullet points in bold and italics? :-)

The fact that the new toll on SR 167 in Tacoma charges a 100,000 pound heavy haul truck only 3X more than a 300 pound motorcycle just proves that the tolls have NO relationship to the impact a user has on the road itself. @bretthamil.bsky.social

I think the DNC inclination toward harmful levels of self reflection is particularly bad about dealing with the 'why' of DJT and MAGA. If speaking sense about covid or monetary policy or trans people or voting rights 'caused' 50% of the country to freak out the solution is NOT to stop talking...

Regardless of how you feel about the Clancy situation, it's clear that the judge in the case has a CLEAR opinion and is allowing that opinion to cloud his judgement. That juror should have been dismissed.

Im reading "Flashing Steel" by Masayuki Shimabukuro about the history and practice of Eishin-Ryu Iaido. It's interesting that the waza that start out seated were created during a time when samurai were transitioning to more administrative and diplomatic roles but negociations often turned violent.

As someone that served with guys that lost limbs it is shockingly offensive and disrespectful that he so quickly equated his safe little cosplay, sitting literally 1 foot from pain meds, as being in any way similar to losing a limb in combat.

Pharmacy: your meds are ready Me: (drives 30 mins) Pharmacy: oh, it will be 45 mins to an hour Me: I have to come back tomorrow Pharmacy the next day: oh we put them back because we thought you didn’t any them. They will be ready in 2 days.

Fernet is what I imagine shit would taste like if someone lived on nothing but black licorice and Laphroaig scotch for a week. Malort tastes like if you took the liver out of a guy that lived on nothing but Fernet and then cooked it in road tar and despair.
