The most unrealistic part of this book (which includes aliens and space ships) is that a human on earth answered a phone call from an unknown number.

There is a new Trader Joe’s in our area. The parking lot had tons of spaces and I had no trouble parking. I don’t think their location scout understood the corporate brand.

Links. Which order is text and URL? Which one gets which symbol? 4 possibilities. And I get it wrong 5 times somehow. It’s worse than USB orientation for me.

Yes? No I mean … No?

Happy Ice Cream Friday! Ice Cream Friday is a holiday where you go get ice cream to celebrate making it through another week. Ice Cream Friday is nondenominational and open to all.

Senator Traditional was the author of the law that gave us 401k accounts. Which was a good, clear start but sadly Senator Roth didn’t have as thematic of a name.

Freebie idea for something to eliminate in the name of government efficiency >>> daylight savings time <<<

And I spent more time modding this game than I did playing it.

My labeler will only accept reports for app.bsky.feed.like records. It will be an unlikabler.

Oh no, we feed them way less than that.

WA friends you can email your state senator and rep really easily here, like I just did: leg.wa.gov/legislators. This is SB 5352 and HB 1404.

"'Michael Jordan'? The shoe salesman?"

This game is excellent and I recommend it to anyone who likes logic puzzle games. I started it when it released on PC but quickly decided it would fit into my life better on my phone.

The reporter’s write up for this clever attack is incredibly well done. gist.github.com/hackermondev...

“Here is a one-time-use petroleum product to wear while filling your petroleum burner.” 🌎

Since the big text didn’t adequately warn me, I propose there should be a consumer safety rule requiring a checkbox at checkout “warning: this product is known to the government to infect your house with glitter. Are you sure?” for anything containing the contagion. @cpsc.gov who is working on this?

Apropos of nothing today the backyard lights couldn’t be turned on (among many other broken things) because of a DNS configuration change I made weeks ago whose compatibility side effect finally surfaced.

A watched progress bar never finishes.

Why does this very dusty game console in the room we never use need updates? Whose fault is this???

Recently got a shipping label printer so of course I had to make a silly thing maker for my kids.

Two emergent trips to the grocery store. This dinner prep is right on target!

Upsell employee: "Uhm so based on your cart(s) we recommend upgrading to a Costco Executive membership." (Read whole thread! Very entertaining. And a worthy cause.)

Switched to the new section views in the latest #HomeAssistant release. They look great. (LPT: Don't use the Convert button, just edit the type in the YAML to avoid annoying extra copies if you have a lot of subviews and use source control like me.)

"It's bad luck to toast with water." -Wine salesman

With the #Factorio Space Age update and whatever update Mastodon pushed my server ran out of memory. So anyway I’m not on the fediverse anymore. The factory must grow.

One of the perks of Amazon Prime should be a persistent “hide all the junk brands” filter.

I … ran out of checks? That is apparently possible. Let this be a warning to people like me who got a new bank account a decade ago.
