One of the required tools for assembly is safety goggles. I have safety goggles.

My sister took me tool cart shopping so getting that assembled is today's surprise project. So far it seems remarkably well packaged. Almost as if they expect a real person to take the parts out of the box and assemble the thing.

My father got me a car tire inflator as a belated Christmas present. That will save me a trip to a gas station and $1-$2 in quarters every winter.

I wonder how hard it would be to rig a microphone/transmitter to a collar and let her live stream.

My cat should have a podcast.

If your product description contains the word "food" (for example, "cheese food product") it probably isn't.

Someone just gave me a bag of hand assembled trail mix because the person she wanted to give that to wasn't here. I'm normally not into the whole food from random people thing but she's a crazy cat lady so it's probably fine.

Wondering if I should hire an illustrator to do some drawings for the book I'm writing. For now the answer is not yet, but I should probably make some notes about places where a nice looking sketch would be helpful to illustrate a concept.

Today I've been handing out forms so my employees can do their taxes.

I could do a simple filter on the logs before passing that in, but I'd rather still see that data, just in a separate panel.

Or even just Mastodon, which is pretty obvious in the logs and where I think a lot of that auto-traffic is coming from.

Is there a good way to get goaccess to separate out traffic that's auto-fetched by fediverse instances?

That face cats make when you scratch them just right.

Why does the computer sound like an airplane? Oh, it's apt-config.

I've reassured her that she handled the situation about as well as she could have and it's not her fault that the customer didn't like the facts.

There will be another Holiday Blend closer to the other end of the year. It won't taste anything like the most recent one.

One of my employees is trying to help some people choose a coffee, but it's hard because what they really want is Holiday Blend and the whole point of our Holiday Blend program is that it's an opportunity to create something that doesn't have to be available long term (and indeed I'm sold out of the coffees that went into that so I couldn't create more even if I wanted to) so there isn't something that's a clear, if you liked Holiday Blend you'll like X choice.
