You know how bad Zoom lag is when you're moving your mouse in a presentation, lookin up at the big screen? Yeah, now drive that car from the Phillipines!!!

wanted to be an active Participator in today's NYTSpellingBee, but alas...

c) in case I missed my mark, I was agreeing with your comment that some folks believe every page was aimed personally at them 🙃. Really enjoy your work!

a) true
b) true

🙂

... that's a lot of rancor to map out an aggressive jape at precisely one reader who will come across your work 18 months later

Can you dig it? "Digged" not cool in today's NTYSpellingBee

When Amazon has an ebook on sale for $0.99, how much trickles back to the publisher? to the author? Feels more like the old LPs in the cutout bin (who gets "cut out")

oh, whatever will I do with myself? no college football bowl game today....

(same concept as "dress jeans" when growing up...)

only a 1-pt word, but I think "pion" is not so small it should be overlooked in the NYTSpellingBee today...

awesome experiment, do not use Claudius to do your taxes this year

This is why pot-smoking pregnant mice are banned from our neighborhood! (I know, the article mentioned injections, not smoking, yet no mouse-sized needles have been reported in the area.)

(crab Transformers - look like a mossy rock, et voila!)

early years, Dad had me try Brylcream. Not traumatized, but not something I needed to do again

Voyager Golden Record - Wikipedia

Today's rabbit hole: the Golden Record on Voyager spacecrafts, and EMI was so miserly they wanted to charge for sending Here Comes the Sun into the universe en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager....

Grabbed one of these for a friend... and why the effin' not?!

Spinning some LPs today... and wondering why some call it Side A / Side B, and others Side 1 / Side 2, and yet others Side I / Side II. Is there an ISO Standard being violated here?

Why do I find it unsettling that Google's Holiday calendar considers Black Friday as an Observance?

Roger Dean album cover art Tales From Topographic Oceans (Yes album). source - wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_from_Topographic_Oceans#/media/File:Tales_from_Topographic_Oceans_(Yes_album).jpg

Listening to Yes albums today, realize I'd rather have Roger Dean posters in the Lincoln bathroom

Looking to subscribe to "neutral" news source that also supports indep journalists. Kinda looking for not just U.S. so that makes it a harder task. ("neutral" doesn't mean both-sideism)

(if you don't go with Dick The Halls for December you're missing a step...)

Why I resist AI agents: there's no escalation of any problem-solving. If you start with g_d who do you appeal to? And if you do, it's just Agent_AI_PlusOne.

Again, no way that many people "guessed" today's #wordle on the first try. Are these the same folks that cheat at solitaire?

No, I do not believe ~5,000 entries "guessed" today's #wordle solution on the first try. No.

"AI Overview" on Google search is just getting creepy. Ask for sites with fill-in-the-blank and the response is "yes there are sites for fill-in-the-blank, blah blah blah..." Just give me the damn sites instead of making me scroll below the garbage response

(aren't you famous enough to say Weird Al met *you*?! 🙂)

No, I do not believe 0.4%, or over 7,000 people guessed the opening #wordle answer today. Not credible.

I love Facebook: "People you may know" 《Pope Francis XIV》

NYT Spelling Bee grid with "GROOT" as potential word

I am Groot, and it's still upsetting.

(went for a walk, they paved the park's lot with new tar and new mix. All I could see was "asphalt rice cakes"!)
