Love to have to buy an extra 3rd party TV remote because my top-of-the-line gorgeous OLED stock remote lacks...(checks notes)...a pause button.

Found an awesome new circuit in my home town: - coffee in travel mug at home - gym - new huge grocery store - breakfast burrito at Locos Hermanos All easy driving in a nice loop. It's great.

As An Old, how do I explain to The Youngs who build Figma that the ESC key means cancel without saving and their use of it to mean "save and unfocus" is from Oppositeland?

Got to enjoy witnessing someone watching Swiss Army Man for the first time last night. It's like, nothing can prepare you for what you are about to experience and it can't really be discussed afterward either.

Try to imagine a battery charger appliance for household and power tool batteries where the device clearly indicated charging/charged/error. Sure would be nice not to have to decode one weird blinking light and for sure would prefer that "no lights means charged" was not a common design.

Is it weird if I start writing my dry-erase todo lists in github-flavored markdown (including the extended status chars like [-] for canceled tasks, [.] for in progress)?

I switch to BetterMouse when my Logi MX mouse decided it wouldn't work without an internet connection, so seeing this web site is a FUCK YEAH moment. openlogi.org/en Stupid companies thinking for a second that devices need a cloud. Mouse + cloud = broken trust. (Same goes for flipping cars!)

Ordered a small utility knife from amazon that I intend to mostly use for opening amazon packages. But it opened its own package from the inside and they delivered an empty envelope to me. 5-star product.

Started on a very narrow hall table build today. Many rectangles and yes I lost track of orientation and cut a bunch of rabbets on the wrong sides so now I have almost exclusively left sides. Tomorrow is repairs I guess.
