Please ask me about my opinions of the tragically underappreciated but flawed film Tenet

Sometimes I'll have an *Important Meeting* and it somehow drains my entire body, mind, and soul and I just want to lay down the rest of the day.

Losing my mind trying to find the Simpsons clip where Homer puts on annoying polka music in the car, they get to the festival, and the same polka music is playing live and Bart and Lisa groan loudly.

I vehemently dislike that slow progress is the reliable way to overcome challenges, not wishing for immediate success.

I just want the immediate success, please.

Was doing a silly dance in front of my kid. Surprised, they asked "How do you move yourself?"

And now I'm having an existential crisis.

Some days I wish I could go back and get a degree in Computational Fluid Dynamics. That shit is awesome.

Keep coming up with fun side projects that I definitely do not have the time or energy to code.

California has spent over $400 million in settlements for Law Enforcement misconduct since 2010.

I know because I built a site to track it:

captainacab.com

We're updating every week, and slowly expanding across the country.

So, my @birdofthedaybot.bsky.social is broken because eBird.org is getting hit by AI bots so hard they had to implement Anubis to block requests.

This leaves things in quite the predicament. I'll have to figure out a gentler way to pull the bird image.

Hmmmm...

Trying to learn Haskell, so I'm redoing Project Euler.

However, I'm spending hours trying to figure out Cabal and its poor documentation instead of writing code.

Sometimes I think I enjoy setting up the build architecture more than writing the code itself.

I love my 10" cast iron skillet. It's probably one of my most prized possessions.

Used it tonight to sear/bake a marinated chicken breast and it came out perfect (as usual).

Thank you skillet.

It's finally clean. I've had this keeb for over 13 years and it still works perfectly.

Now that I learned LaTeX, I've begun responding to junk mail by writing a letter back asking to be removed from the mailing list. It takes 5 minutes and it's very satisfying.

Kind of frustrated at one of my friends that's still all-in on HBO Harry Potter.

"I'm still gonna be subscribed to HBO, what difference does it make? I wanna see them do more stuff from the books."

I don't really have a good way of fighting ambivalence like that, and I can't force someone to care
