"and then we're going to line first class up against the wall.." #outofcontext

front door to gate in 1hr 30. I think that's a record? o.O

Also the fonts on here are subtly fucked up in ways I can't quite articular annnd oh great it's plugged into the Windows notification bar so I get the stupid DODODOOO noise instead of the pleasant beep from before.

(how MS managed to fuck up a notification area I will never understand but they did)

Firefox finally managed to force an update to the new UI on me, and it *really* feels like it was made by designers that were like "why isn't everyone using dark mode? Let's make the light mode UI more annoying!" on top of all the other reasons I was avoiding it.

Ordering supplies for freediving..

Me: "Why do these weights take so long to ship?!"

Me half a second later: "oh right no one wants to ship literal lead weights by anything but ground"

granted this is a setting with *multiple* types of giant telepathic murder bugs so

creepy is relative?

Got to say, a baby getting the epithet "God of Early Arrivals and Earlier Departures" from the Aeslin is quite the gutpunch.

if you're not familiar with the series, the Aeslin are hyper-religious mice that worship the main characters family.

which is weird enough. but then you have a dead baby, and the mice start VERY LOUDLY reciting the liturgy of their dead God.

One of the few times they go from "adorable" to "oh right this would be really creepy in reality"

I made a headache stop earlier by metaphorically moving my thoughts backward. bodies make no sense

near vomitting followed by hicups is just unfair

COVID, pneumonia, and HepB shots at the same time was perhaps not the best plan @.@

I was perfectly fine til I went to bed at which point the body was like "Oh you're resting? OK I HAVE A LIST OF COMPLAINTS"

fever chills cramps headache and, this morning, food aversion. So that's fun

getting better but I slept very little last night which makes it hard to tell what remaining side effects are vaccine and what are the sleep meter flashing red.

re last toot- if you have a 3DS you're still using at this point, just ignore update prompts. Nintendo isn't adding features or fixing bugs anymore, just throwing in more crap.

Bunch of crows just about crashed a bald eagle right in front of the hous just now o.o

Game design thing that one wondered at:

Why do the Souls games have levels? it seems to make their design space harder in that you have to communicate to the player "you're under leveled " or "you aren't doing this right" instead of just the later

Last night's dreams featured among other things catching rabies from a school field that had.. tunneling hamsters? and then whipping up a treatment at burger king using the factorio UI.

ok brain. sure.

Not a page later:

"It’s like waiting for Christmas. You always know there’s going to be a delicious gift box of throat punching on the other end.”"

From the short story I'm reading now:

"“I did like the wording on the Holy Ritual of Look It’s Another Goddamn Cattle Ranch,”"

Elon gave Terry Pratchett a blue checkmark on Twitter, which says the account has "verified his phone number".

so imagine:

Elon's phone ringing No caller ID. Annoyed, he silences it. It keeps ringing. He turns the phone off. *It keeps ringing*. He picks up. On the other end of the line

"HELLO. I HAVE A COLLECT CALL FOR YOU FROM A MR. PRATCHETT. HE IS VERY INSISTENT YOU TAKE IT."

I have seen this painting so many times over the years and somehow today is the first time I noticed the boats
