Some days it's all 1s or 20s. Fun fact—my surname's motto is “Vigilantibus non dormientibus,” which translates to “By the watchful, not the sleeping.” 🤔 ADHD & night owl, yup, 'tis me. And, get this, my current job is night shift in a NOC, a place to watch the datacenter.

Some days, setting my cruise to 65 MPH on the beltway is closer to achieving meters than miles per hour.

I'm beginning to suspect there's an unwritten rule (at least publicly) if you want people to drive 30, set the speed limit=25 but now Montgomery has decided if you want 35, set 20.

PSA — Don't crush aluminum cans before recycling them. - Modern recycling centers use automated sorting systems that rely on shape recognition to identify materials. - Uncrushed cans are easily recognized as aluminum, while crushed cans may resemble flat paper or plastic, leading to misclassification. - Crushed cans can bypass the aluminum stream and end up in the wrong category, contaminating other recyclables or being discarded entirely. - This is especially problematic in single-stream recycling systems, where all materials are mixed together before sorting.

I'm not saying it's a conspiracy, I'm saying all microwaves have a popcorn button & all popcorn instructs not to use it.

From an extraterrestrial's perspective, all wars on Earth are civil wars between us humans. It's also one theory why they won't contact us.

Nichelle Nichols's role as Lt. Uhura on Star Trek was groundbreaking because she was one of the first African-American women to play a major, non-stereotypical role on television. Her impact was so significant that she inspired many women and people of color to join the NASA program, including astronaut Mae C. Jemison, who later went on to have a cameo role in Star Trek: The Next Generation, making her one of the rare few to both actually and fictitiously be someone working in outer space.

I find it somewhat paradoxical when I need to disable my ad-blocker to view an article about disabling ads.

I get why some software start at v0, but I don't get why they never change it (PuTTY v0.83, PowerToys v0.95, etc.)

I need a good message therapist. You probably read that wrong, or I wrote it wrong, and is all the more reason I need one.

I've learned the hard way not many care about my opinion, they care about theirs, and if I want more to care about mine, I need to stop trying to make mine the only option.

Much to my dismay, sometimes others, I sometimes do have words, and perhaps more than my fair share.

Good people do good things with tech. Bad people also do bad things with it. Don't blame the tech, & don't punish good people.

"Change is more than necessary, it is inevitable"—unknown. Without it, nothing improves. New replaces old. Once, Netscape, Altavista, Yahoo, AOL, & AskJeeves ruled. Now no one younger knows them. Adapt, improve, advance, learn, grow.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but *duct* tape is aluminum. What most people think is duct tape is actually Duck Tape, because it's water repellent.

Overheard: 18.86 Tesla... "That's a magnetic field 2 times stronger than what you'd need to make a frog levitate, and frogs aren't known for their magnetic properties."

Me: Ah, yes, Garage A, I remember it fondly, let's do it!

Today I learned... I'd always known Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, & Bob Dylan formed The Traveling Wilburys, but I just learned & pleasantly surprised George Harrison was in it.
