I don’t know the motivations of all the people who were working but I’m willing to bet Graham Bell did to bother employees during their off hours.

Given how much time I spend actually looking at the screen while the show/movie is on, it might as well be in ca. 2000 RealVideo 160x120 resolution.
- Comment on You're so predictable 1 day ago:
This one has never worked for me, because if I see a long number without commas or periods I have to stop and figure out. I couldn’t hope to read that number until I solved to puzzle of whether is started with “million” or “billion.”
- Comment on When did people start saying "have a good rest of your day" 3 days ago:
This is the first I’m hearing it, and I feel like I’ll always be just a little bit sadder now that I know its a thing.

If the doctors orders I eat 2 breakfasts, I’m not letting a pharmacy screw up the good thing I’ve got going!
But what insurance is requiring 90 days and are they taking signups? Mine forces everything to 30 unless I use their mail pharmacy that constantly loses orders.

Replace things?
Virtually every computing device I’ve ever owned is somewhere in the house I’m in. I sold my first PC (a Leading Edge 8088 IBM clone) and I still regret it. It’d been hard to get hooked into my homelab, but I would have figured it out.

I drink unsweetened tea and diet cola all day, I don’t know what my body is complaining about. You know what, fine here’s half a jar of peanut butter on a pop tart!

You always braise rodent knees. Did Arby’s parents teach them nothing!
- Comment on If websites are slow for you, this is why, AWS is breaking everything 1 week ago:
Once upon a time they insisted that Amazon had independent decision making on their providers when they were needing new infrastructure and they “always decided that AWS suited them best.”
Shockingly (/s), they stopped making that claim as soon right about the same time they started admitting that their biggest users are all under Private Pricing Agreements.

We tore our front lawn out this summer. By the time we were working in July the (clay) soil under the sod was brick hard for 18 inches before it got workable again.
The yard is now 70% native and the area with high sun is drought tolerant. It’s only been a few weeks and already the pollinators are here in force and there’s a pair of morning doves that come by to hang out most mornings.

I’m looking forward to the nothingness, the first 14billion years was nice enough. It’s the time between everyday life and nothingness that worries me.

Getting ready for bed. Laying in which will make me too stiff and unconfortable to sleep without an NSAID (or sometimes a SAID) onboard.
