stagnate, and die Disclaimer: The number 1138 is stalking me.

For the first time since it was supposedly released, the 13" tablet for $288 that I want is available to buy! Shock! Of course now the price is $388, probably because of that orange ass Either way I dont have the money until i get paid again, oh well

2nd car issue (of now 6) is handled -- firmware update recall. Could lead to a fuel pump issue if it wasn't fixed. Best part, Ford sent a technician to me, I didn't have to sit in the garage waiting room for an hour for this one!

Political advertising should be banned, it only serves the machine and doesn't help the people in any way Then maybe i wont get pissed off just from the existence of the ads and signs Good Gordon how I hate those fucking signs

Yay i now have new tires Next anxiety, they said I should get my tie rods replaced. Didn't specify if it was inner or outer, but that they're rusty. So that's prob another $1K i gotta come up with

Planned and scheduled to do tires today, at a chain shop, the only place carrying the type i want. Said shop not organized enough to get the tires in stock for the appointment. (they blamed the website, where i set the appointment, and y'know, fair. It's a shit website.)

how does "press and hold" prove you're "not a bot" ? what if you have arthritis? or don't use a mouse or finger to interact with a computer? how did this pass the ADA?

Today I learned #TIL a statue of Christopher Columbus in the Little Italy area of Baltimore MD, erected in 1984, dedicated by Reagan, was torn down in 2020 by protesters who then threw the pieces in the harbor A recreation of this statue is going up at the White House this weekend WTF

siiiigh I ran out of chips and intentionally didn't buy any when I went to the store yesterday. of course that's all I want right now. y'know, this might be a clue as to why I don't usually have dinner until like 9pm.
