Everyone talks about depression as if it's an entirely bad thing. They never talk about how it helps you cope in actually overwhelmingly horrific conditions by numbing you to the constant pain and stress you're getting subjected to.

Enough with the weekly announcements of new battery breakthroughs. Just give me the option of AA and AAA batteries that last. Testing the best Lithium Ion 1200mAh they were bright and worked great, for two hours then zero, alkaline may not be super bright after 5 hours, but you still get light.

Oh look a foot of fresh snow I can get in another ski day! Wait, here's a half inch of ice on top. You're not leaving the house and if you do it'll be miserable to ski on.

An old post episode ad for a tv show reminded me that there was in fact a CSI:Cyber at one point... I say point because I really don't think it ended up with enough shows to call it a series.

@benstiller.redhour.com having just watched the Season 2 finale of Severance it finally clicked that you must be also be a fan of Patrick McGoohan, because that gave me flashbacks to the final episode of The Prisoner.

Threads followers seem to consist almost exclusively of bots pretending to be young asian women trying to perpetrate some kind of scam. On Bluesky they almost all seem to be real people. I wonder if Meta realizes they're cutting their own throat by allowing this.

Those last few hours after packing your gear for a multi-day solo climb but before leaving are oddly stressful. You're constantly wondering if you packed too much (and therefore too heavy) or too little and are going to be stuck cold in the mountains.

Some shots from my ski up Whiteface today, including the walk up to the summit. If this was a less developed area it would be quite impressive. You can in fact do this one on Nordic BC gear.
