I was irritated by the leaf blowers earlier this week but now there's a massive wood chipper.

I resist keyword muting but all the BW/CBS posts finally broke me.

Helping someone who really needs it with an errand, but it's very inconvenient and annoying for me. This is building character, right?

I keep having to justify why I want to go to conferences outside the USA and the simple answer is "Many of the people it would be helpful to talk to are no longer able to enter the USA"

When cartoon characters discuss numbers in base ten rather than base eight, it takes me completely out of my suspension of disbelief. Their society would not have developed that way.

Starting a Generation Kill rewatch after signing up for the cheapest HBO Max tier and the first ad break was so jarring I just turned it off. Don't know if I can get used to it.

Don't care for these. They're not always easy to see and striking one even glancingly would cause a bad fall.

For me personally, one of the most distressing aspects of the 14th amendment apparently being up for grabs is that for some people their birth circumstances and/or biological parentage is unknown, unknowable.

Quite a double-take here at Frost Bank Center during that timeout when it was announced a family of four had won tickets to ICE!, the unfortunately named holiday show starring Frosty the Snowman.

I'm almost despondent over what is happening to the state university system in Texas. Just a few years ago I was confident it would play a big role in my kid's education; now it looks like I will discourage it, likely at great cost.

my ThinkPad has a feature where it wakes from suspend in my bag just in case I need it to do something :-)

Really enjoyed seeing _One Battle After Another_ in the theater. The whole audience laughed at the Christmas Adventurers Club secret knock.

I got my booster in September and then got covid in October. Really mild symptoms; I missed one day of work and managed not to give it to my family.

Getting old enough to notice and appreciate UIs that don't make me select my birth year using a drop down
