I have to vacuum

I do not want to vacuum

Why can’t all the crud vanish of its own accord

iPadOS beta 

I don’t even really like SlideOver as a Safari use case; gimme a split window or go away. Overlapping windows make me itch and I’d rather have infinite columns

iPadOS beta 

Did being happy that beta 3 dropped curse beta 3? I just want SlideOver not to make my device freaking unusable

me: I’ll just have one or two pieces from this pack of gum
me, two minutes later: I’ll just finish off this pack of gum

look, gum is a challenge, okay

alcohol-in-food mention (redrafted) 

oh god, it came out amazing though

Downside of Instant Pot braise: whole house becomes redolent
Upside: don’t have to leverage chronic insomnia in order to feed
Other upside: I can use beer instead of maple sugar and prayer

alcohol-in-food mention (redrafted) 

I keep forgetting that chuck steak in the toaster oven takes longer than chuck steak in the instant pot, plus it doesn’t taste like beer

I literally can’t think of anything which isn’t equivalent or beefier on the tiny laptop except for a few irrelevant security features. Even SSD should be faster.

probably next week I should sit down and tell Windows to Perform Performantly

On paper, my tiny laptop should be able to smash through the thing I’m doing faster than the slightly more cumbersome one with less RAM, VRAM, or useful cooling

In practice, the cumbersome one is smashing the task relative to the tiny one performing an equivalent job a few weeks ago

computers are weird

In an ideal world, I would go find a massive beanbag couch, sink in, and play a Pokémon of some sort

Why is world not ideal and why is beanbag not here

Show thread

Nothing more fun than staying up late, babysitting a slow render, too keyed up to go to freaking sleep like a diurnal beast but too annoyed with the world to find something to read or do

Also I may have nursed that energy drink til close to midnight, whoops

iPadOS 

This constant state of “this could be my primary system IF [hypothetical]” is driving me a little bats. I already use this OS as my daily driver because, for a while, all my neuroplasticity went into stuff I could cradle close to my face and drive with thumbs

Why do I always fall for the tech that’s not quite there yet

insomnia 

yep, it’s ASMR on headphones and not rolling over night yet again

I don’t know which sleep hygiene expert decided that overnight news was a good idea, because no

complaining about bad client 

ARGH my client. My client makes it so easy to boost instead of scroll or fave, it drops nearly all notifications, it doesn’t ask for confirmation of anything ever. I gotta move to tootapp or something when I next have money, so, like, in a couple weeks.

really, is it so much to ask that I not end up with whatever’s on the top of timeline boosted every few days because my thumb trembled

Animal Crossing 

I’m relieved that ACNH got a bump instead of an extra crunchy version, but will very much need for it to be closer to New Leaf than Pocket Camp

Very, very much

I

I really don’t know what to do with this “thrill-seekers go away” notice on iOS/iPadOS 13

On the one hand, dev beta one is always a crapfest. On the other, GIVE ME DARK MODE AND A BROWSER I DONT HATE ughhhh

I woke up with MST3K and Pokémon news, napped later due to weather, then woke up again to Nissan/Fiat/Renault breaking news and Sharp moving PC assembly to Vietnam. The first wake cycle was better.
