Shout out to my 2017 macbook air that still runs great and works perfectly even though I can no longer update macOS and now chrome?

I can't figure out when you are ever supposed to medium-grind the coffee.

Hi five to whoever made the cmd-k hotkey work for both Slack and Discord.

I know Septa has budget issues but the direction signs on the trains should be correct. The L is more wrong than right now.

I don't order Doordash because of the fees, and I don't order Uber Eats because I imagine my food sitting in the back wearing a seat belt.

This whole time I thought tanstack was Garry Tan.

Yeah Pitchfork isn't what it used to be, but Perfect 10 was a great idea and I will always watch it.
