Brigands & Breadknives is the first audiobook I’ve listened to at 1x speed in as long as I can remember. I guess that makes sense for cozy fantasy, I don’t want to rush through it. I want to savor it.

After doing a very complicated knitting project with cables that required focus to follow the pattern, it’s so nice to now be working on a plain stockinette pattern hat that I can speed through mindlessly. 🧶

I've been to Las Vegas twice for work in the last decade. Both times the highlight of the trip was leaving the city and doing something outdoors. Either hiking or Mountain Biking.
The actual time on the strip was mostly meh or terrible.

As a millennial is so funny to see which people from high school are trying to be influencers on social media, and which have absolutely nothing online at all.

@nodunayo.bsky.social @robfrelow.bsky.social I love Storygraph and it has replaced goodreads for me, but why does the app architecture require downtime maintenance in 2025?
Thats rhetorical, I’m just truly surprised a modern app was built that requires downtime maintenance.

WTF happened to Sonos? For years these speakers just worked. They were tech for non-techies.
Now they just stop working randomly and me as a techie can barely get them to function. It’s so frustrating!

"They'll keep pushing this as they're replacing workers with AI!" no they're not! That isn't happening. They're laying people off because they sunsetted Section 174 of the tax code that let tech companies immediately deduct 100% of R&D if it "helped improve products."

The hidden time bomb in the tax code that's fueling mass tech layoffs
A decades-old tax rule helped build America's tech economy. A quiet change under Trump helped dismantle it

It’s one of those mornings where I needed to coffee to make coffee.
I forgot to pour the coffee grounds from the grinder into the filter before turning on the machine.
I was very disappointed that I had to make the pot again with coffee when I thought I was about to drink coffee ☕️ 😒

It is quite jarring to have a narrator switch deep in an audiobook series and now several main character’s names are being pronounced completely differently.

These US “friendly” F1 race times are annoying.
I miss the UK friendly times where I could watch qualifying & the race with my coffee. I have too many other family obligations during the day.

Had my first but definitely not last personal experience with tariffs yesterday.
I ordered some football shirts from the UK and was prompted at checkout that I will have to pay a 10% tariff to the shipper upon arrival 😒
Its something I want that I cant get from the US so 🤷♂️

Had to call multiple customer service lines today 😭
I try to be understanding since I worked in a call center in college. But it really feels like they have to avoid confirming anything now. Multiple reps for completely different issues ended with “someone else will follow-up with you”

I tend to be a pretty generous tipper. It comes from working in the service industry when I was younger and growing up with lots of family working in restaurants.
BUT the expansion of tipping culture in US is starting to make me very conflicted.

I’ve been reading the Vlad Taltos series after it was recommended by a friend.
It’s not my favorite, but it is enjoyable and refreshing to read 200-300pg fantasy books after reading so many 500-1500pg contemporary fantasy books.
I think I’m slowly falling out of love with Sanderson’s fantasy 🤷♂️

My analog reading log has become one of my favorite parts of my bullet journal. I made some tweaks to it this year.
I also started reviews for each book in my writing journal. It’s usually just a few paragraphs of my feelings after finishing the book, I like what it has added to my favorite hobby.

TFW I’ve read 3 different book 1s and now its going to be really hard to maintain a rotation between the 3 series. I enjoyed them all but one was more enjoyable than the other two.

Being neurodivergent means 5x faster productivity if you enjoy the current thing you’re working on but at the price of being 5x slower for boring monotonous tasks ;-;

TFW you have an event on your calendar without a title, and your not sure if you forgot to name an event you’ve now completely forgotten about, or if you created an event by mistake 🤨
