You hava a drink named "Steve"?

I don't really want a phone. I want a handheld computer with internet access wherever I am. Maybe a hotspot and some linux device? What's out there?

Thanks anyway, I'll see if I can find out for myself.

"Peek" is taking a look. "Peak" is the top of a mountain.

Today is Octember 2th

One nice thing about having a sore throat: I have to really consider whether that snack is worth the pain.

A banana next to a slug

Banana. Slug.

I made impossible meat meatloaf, roasted butternut squash and zucchini, and mashed potatoes with gravy for dinner. I'm trying not to take it personally, but my kid didn't eat any of it. That stuff was damn good!

"Misophonia" to the tune of Phoenix Lisztomania. Is this anything? I dunno.

I've received no fewer than 8 one-time login codes for Disney+in the last 3 hours. Some imbecile is absolutely convinced they have my email address.

Got an email from my credit card company promoting some service they offer "for free*". Fuck no.
"Free*" is the equivalent of the hellraiser puzzle box. They have such sights to show you.

I did not know that candles were sold in nunchaku format.

And to top it off, it wasn't actually locked, I didn't need to reset my password. It worked today. So they lied and directed me to do time-wasting effort-intense error-prone unnecessary bullshit.

To unlock, you must have an Apple device. Or you can go through a reset flow and wait a few days. Blatant favoring of their own platforms and devices.

Fucking Apple. I'm trying to debug an Apple sign in issue (the only error surfaced is "unknown error"), but I don't have an iphone. I enabled it in my local Android build, and got to the sign in page, and it tells me my account is locked. Yet, I can still log in to appstoreconnect.

I believe that, for a certain technophilic subset of engineers, LLMs fill the same role as Instagram does for normies: an intermittent stream of dopamine that accomplishes approximately nothing but wasting time.

In the future, nobody's going to believe that the phrase "trumped up charges" existed before all this.

Made ramen from scratch-ish (I didn't make the noodles themselves, but I did make the chicken broth), and it was delicious!

World Market has Halloween decorations out. In July.

Resolved: Anyone responsible for a UI which has two responses "Yes" and "Maybe later", shall be punished by having to select "Yes" each time they encounter such a UI.

I think chat is a horrible interface, but the basic concept of a large series of tokens producing more or less reasonable output has a lot of potential. But I would hope that the tokens will be provided by ambient sensors so our automation can anticipate our desired responses.

I just cancelled someone's car rental reservation for next week. Think before you sign up for something with someone else's email address.

Bottle of PUB brand Mexican style lager.

cerveza más o menos fina

I've been reading a lot of science fiction, and as someone with (poorly formed) stories I want to write it continually suprises me that authors can just... make stuff up. Like, you don't have to actually figure out how the technology would work, the characters can just use it!

Do emoji poops curl the other way in the southern hemisphere? 💩

I want to get ai coding assistants to work, I really do. But I just spent like an hour trying to figure out why gemini's transform code doesn't work (doesn't appear to do anything at all) in my project.
Turns out it only doesn't work in typescript. Works fine in dart files. Still no clue why.

Shauna, you maga bitch. If I ever find out your email address, you're getting so much spam. And, I guess, same if you ever find out what your email address is.

America250 just sent me an email "confirming" "my" special guest Blue invite to Trump's egowank parade today. Obviously intended for sometime else. Here's hoping the rest of their security is run just as competently.

Jaysus @linkedin.com No, I am not going to work at "Flock Safety" the company enabling the police to monitor/track every goddamn car on the road, and the panopticon in general. Fuck no.

Texted my wife that her phone was getting a lot of notifications while she was in another room.

Yeah. I'm still on my first coffee today.

I feel like this was the end result of pondering the phrase "head canon"
