how long in the year can I keep working outside until it's too coldddd I don't knowwww but I'm gonna stretch it as long as I cannnnn because it's beautiful out here
I'm ready for humans to grow little pouches to store things in. pockets for all. kangaroo? no. humangaroo
unclear to me why egg everything bagels are not simply "eggvrything"
pleased to see that my HR platform's integration with finance apps is so broken that instead of syncing my 401k balance it synced my accrued PTO hours balance, which is also, coincidentally, wrong
For people hosting media servers like @jellyfin.org from home, how do you make sure streaming doesn't use all your bandwidth? e.g. if I'm streaming a movie, my upload bandwidth is barely able to stream the movie let alone let other people in my home upload stuff do you just have big internet plans?
seeing a lot of "I used <new personal AI bot> to <automate some time-sensitive task>" posts, like booking restaurant reservations as soon as they're available to ensure the person gets a slot. it's definitely going to be less worthwhile once everyone's bots are competing, but it's also so sad??

any personal finance trackers / budgeting tools / other financial data use cases on atproto yet? portability between providers would be extremely cool for this area because setting up a new tool (e.g. Mint, YNAB, Rocket Money) is cumbersome and personalized. definitely needs permissioned data
another beverage appears on my desk. I sip. I sip from my first beverage. somehow a third beverage appears. I sip from the second to whet my palette. I sip from the third. it's great. I sip from the first again, noticing it's getting low. a snack appears. I take a bite, barely registering the taste
cannot describe the yearning I feel for solar and a battery at home, somehow, in my sun-challenged apartment
Gotta find a pair of glasses that don't look like this when I'm on a video call

feeling extremely grateful to live in NYC after the third text in as many weeks from people I haven't spoken with in years, who are visiting the city and want to say hi
