That Siri is fucking smart!
Just typed a birthday text for a mate, and after I sent it Siri politely informed me that one of my friends was having a birthday today. Like, really? Good thing I have you here with your erudite insights!

It appears because I changed phones (not SIMs, just the phone I hot spot through) my printer is now invisible. Tried to reinstall the software but it doesn't seem interested in appearing. I can't believe it's 2025 and I'm going to have to buy a fucking USB cable to connect a printer to a computer!!!

I was cleaning books with eucalyptus oil, when this customer said his mother's library (and the books) smelled of cigarette smoke. He asked me if there was a way to get rid of the smoke. I said "not really" but then thought I'd google it. I found someone's advice that I will discuss in the comments:

As my current phone feels so hot at times that it might explode, I'm getting a new phone. Well, new for me.
Might not be saving much this fortnight...

I've been mulling over what really bugs me about patriotism, and trying to distill the essence of it, and I think the short version is that it comes down to privilege.

Did you know that if a person says "I have no idea what that is" just keep repeating that same word over and over again as if that will somehow elucidate matters.

I appear to have reached that part of my WiP where I am trying to remember my high school physics and reading about optics, so I'm definitely on the right track, I think...

Are my glasses clean? No.
Will they ever be clean? No.
Do they smell like Windex? Yes.
And people wonder why I usually have dirty glasses. It is just plain impossible to clean the fucking things. I should just accept that the world is a smudged fucking place...

Sometimes I feel sorry for these people that haunt secondhand bookshops looking to find a thousand dollar book for a dollar. The same reason you know it's a thousand dollar book is the same reason we're not selling it for a dollar. There are probably better odds at a roulette table.
