Rewatching Stranger Things 2 and realizing when Will didn’t recognize Bob he had a different voice and that voice was definitely Vecna and I’m so impressed dude.
But I think Season 5 is going to be a major disappointment and I’m not looking forward to it.

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

Here we go again... hopefully this time attempting to learn a new code language/command line syntax actually sticks unlike the last half-dozen attempts.

If you keep calling and pushing a free estimate without respecting my first rejection, I'm going to assume ill intent and decline with more candor the more you talk.

Bought a NAS. Here's hoping I don't regret my purchase... 🫣

For any NAS users that might see this, I'm looking for opinions.
Is it worth buying a bigger NAS up-front with room to grow, or should I buy a NAS of adequate size for the next couple of years and then upgrade when ready to double the number of drive bays?

Truly a sign of my age (and family curse): I’ve just ordered a nose hair wax removal kit. We’ll see how it works this weekend.

None of the Liquid Glass operating systems are great, but I truly believe macOS got the worst changes and this covers another thing that the update botched pretty bad.

Ope. Went to install a new screen protector on my phone and somehow it’s a full 2mm too high. And of course it was my last one. 🥲 Time to order more...

i remember when LTE networks were like, just rolling out? and G4, which was like a gaming/tech-y TV network, did a promotional thing for sprint where they swapped the symbols around and were "4G" for like a week or so
anyway, i have a great marketing opportunity for 76 the chain of gas stations

Got to see a Chrysler Turbine and one of the original Chitty Chitty Bang Bang cars in person over the weekend. So dang cool. CCBB was one of my favorite movies growing up so that one was particularly special.

My entertainment center does a really good job messing things up during parties and when friends are over.
Might be time to do a full factory reset and start from scratch on both my AVR and my TV.

The video released yesterday puts PayPal and the founders of Honey in some insanely hot water with their marketing partners now and that’s big news.

I truly need y'all to understand how feral I am for @skatestory.com. This game has easily cracked my top 10 (Maybe top 5 👀).

I am probably the only US American to own French Canadian absurdist comedy Menteuse on Blu-Ray, and I'm fine with that.

There is just so dang much to Kirby and the Forgotten Land. I’m glad I’m finally playing it but there are a TON of collectibles, especially with the postgame and Star-Crossed World DLC. Much bigger game that initially expected and they actually reward you for finding everything.

Now You See Me, Now You Don’t was an objectively bad movie.
But I had a good time watching it between cringy lines and the ending was actually a pleasant surprise.
3/5 - worth watching if you want a fun laugh and don’t walk in with high expectations.
