Dinner should probably have been for 2-3 people, but I don't know how to make it smaller and the cat doesn't go for human food so I'm just going to have to eat it.

I've just noticed that the keys on this keyboard that display both the shifted and unshifted characters have the shifted characters below the unshifted ones. That hasn't caused me any typing difficulty since it's not like I look at the keyboard to find what I'm trying to type but it's an odd choice.

I thought I recognized the name on today's web order and sure enough, the coffee is going to another person who roasts coffee (and has used my software to help with that).

bad social media platform mention 

Why do pundits think anybody wants a Facebook replacement? Facebook has always been an awful confusing mess of a platform and anybody moving to something else should probably want that something else to, I don't know, NOT replicate the worst aspects of what they're leaving?

Make sure to disable the transmit mode on your full-size GPS satellite after the boarding doors have closed

Angelic Layer spoiler 

It's sad that if we got real life Angelic Layer today it wouldn't be a secret plot to collect data to create better prosthetic limbs and restore mobility to paralyzed people. It would be a secret plot to collect data to sell more advertisements.

Today I impressed a grocery checker by knowing how much the item that didn't scan cost.

What if all of the Star Trek made after Enterprise is also just a Riker holo-novel?

I keep telling the cat she's going to fall off the couch if she keeps rolling around at the edge of it. She should have taken the warning.

"Our customers frequently tell us that the recipients of gifts adorned with our big bows are more impressed and excited to receive the bow, than the gift itself. This is the kind of impact that you can only achieve with an impressive big bow."

Did this email pretending to be from Microsoft really just spell 0ffice with a zero? In the subject? Fantastic! I know it's a scam without even opening it. (well, that and the fact that Microsoft would never send mail to that address)

Just in case anybody else is having this problem, clearing the browser cache fixes it.

Just got a voicemail from someone claiming to be my grandmother (my grandmothers are dead) trying to get me to not vape (Never have vaped, not interested in trying). Sent back a message letting her know she has the wrong number.

If we want to get *really* scifi, maybe these hypothetical carbon capture machines could construct *themselves* out of captured carbon, possibly using some kind of tiny pod containing most of the materials needed to get started as well as the information to construct the entire machine... Maybe these pods could, themselves, be made through carbon capture using the same machines, making them self-replicating without any technical skills needed

But this is all some kind of absurd pipe dream, of course. It's not like self-replicating material-producing carbon capture machines grow on trees
