Toad the Wet Sprocket's "Listen" just came up on my shuffled streaming music, for whatever reason. I just thought, "Wow, I should press 'like' on this song." And I already had done so...
My reaction was probably more, because I hadn't listened to it in a while. But wow.

I was ruminating on whether I was "waffling" or "flip-flopping" about a music-related question. Both refer to "changing one's mind".
However, I'm amused that one flips pancakes, but not waffles. (Although I think some waffle irons have a flipping-upside-down step.)

Pretty minor issue. But it reminds me of times I've been running Linux.

Techno-fail, super-minor annoyances department: My MacBook Air only seems to have one USB-C port working (can't deal with monitor and mouse+power hub). I reboot, and both of these are working! But the wifi isn't working. I reboot again, and all three things are working.

Not bad, even without a downhill advantage...
