Figures. The CO2 detector conveniently reached its 10 year “end of life” at 12:30 am. BECAUSE I love wandering around my house trying to pinpoint the random beeps every 30 seconds.

I picked up the whole run as they came out 15 years ago but never got around to actually reading them.

Hey Disney+\Hulu. Got your new “terms of service” email… “We are clarifying that…. …circumstances may require that certain titles and types of content include ads, even in our 'no ads' or 'ad free' subscription tiers.”
That’s a load of BS. Just put the ads in everything you know you wanna.

“Bachelor Degree (required)” if I had one whatever I learned would be so out of date by now after working for 35 years in graphic design. But I can’t apply where it’s required without lying about it. Online applications suck.
Rant over.
