As much as I enjoyed watching this when I was young, I'm surprised I didnt already have a copy of it.

A child in my extended family decided she won't play Roblox anymore. She did the face verification. It verified her as an adult, prohibiting her from chatting with her classmates. The resolution is to submit govt documentation for her age.

That's an unacceptable risk.

Was moving some stuff around. I see the digits fell off of 2013 from a Microsoft MVP acknowledgement I had from years ago.

Yeah, I'm reading into things here. But I thought seeing this "Get Well Soon" balloon in the trash outside of Grady Memorial Hospital the week of Christmas tells such a sad story.

I needed a way for friends and relatives to be able to see updates for the status of a relative that is in the hospital. My go-to solution was to make a webpage on a site and share the URL with them. I guess others would use FB. But I don't use FB. So here we are.

I was surprised I was able to get a version of this product that would work off-line. That was a requirement for my purchase. I wasn't interested in an ongoing subscription to keep track of the things I'm going for my parents.

Her: Is that Dora the Explorer, all grown up?

Me: No, it's Laura Croft.

Her: you sure? She is speaking Spanish.

Me: Hoblo Español, perro I am not Diego.

How can someone confuse those two people?

I tried mixing the egg white and yolk inside the egg before boiling it. It taste like a scrambled egg. This is both expected and surprising.

In the video game "Project Zombiod" there is something interesting about feelings being something that happens to the character independent of whatever the player has decided. But something that affects the character nonetheless.

I've been out of the office for three weeks. I had business in Austin the week before Thanks giving, in Seattle the week after, and decided to stay home the 2 day week of Thanksgiving. I came back to the office today to find that they remove the outer doors to the airlock entry. I wonder why.

I might have some freedom tomorrow. In the last few weeks, I've had to deal with two deployments with 14 hours, helped someone move, and had to put to rest a dog that expired after 13 years.

I hope nothing unexpected happens tomorrow.

To summarize the nation's approach to the housing problems: "#%@& you, I got mine!"

I think we need a better approach.

Sigh, I've finally changed my camera's settings from 6K@50fps to 6K@30fps. Only some of my storage devices could handle recording at 50fps RAW without dropping frames. At 30 FPS I don't have to make sure I have the right media in place.

I dont need a service animal. But between the more stable behaviour and the ability to useful tasks, if ibwere getting a dog, I would like it to be as well trained as a service animal.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

No thanks, neighbor. I don’t want to keep your leaves. I’m making sure to give them back.

While I love being able to automate my tasks, I strongly dislike that some places have automated services and have no clear resolution path when their automation fails.

I watched "The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity" (薫る花は凛と咲く) on Netflix. I've never read the Manga. I guess this would be in the "slice of life" genre. Most of the highest stress moments were school kids' concerns of "what do they think of me." Not too bad, except one scene...

I really suck at Project Zomboid. But I really enjoy the struggle.

I wonder why I find this struggle in the game enjoyable, but others not so.

Ex: I found the NYT Connections Puzzle to be frustrating.

Maybe it is because I think I might get better at Zomboid, but not Connections.
