I'm late documenting this year's Xmas movie/TV viewing effort which kicked off a few weeks ago, so here's the first baker's dozen. I'll keep the list going as I watch more...

De-Christmas-ing complete: Indoor decorations and tree came down yesterday. Outdoor decorations came down between snow squalls today. Not that the holidays were bad; just ready to get on with it. 🎄🤔🌲

Missed the sunrise, but my security cameras did catch the pinkish-orange zombie apocalypse hue that fell on everything for a few minutes around 7:45am. Wife and I have headaches. Dogs are loopy. Good luck with today's mess, and possible (inevitable) traffic snarls and power outages! #NSStorm #NSwx

As a rural chihuahua parent, there's nothing quite like finding fresh coyote tracks in the yard: A flashlight and whistle during evening pee outings it shall be.

Looking at the automatic captures from my PS5, perhaps the reason why I often have no one to play with is my rather eclectic taste in games: Lego Horizon Adventures, Procession to Calvary, Plague Inc; and received a copy of Once Upon a Katamari for xmas. 🎮🙈🤔🤷

Sugared out, so it's a fresh batch of slow-cooker party mix instead:
* 10c cereal, pretzels, nuts (1-2c each)
* 0.5c melted butter/marg
* 1T Worcestershire
* 1t seasoned salt + 0.5t garlic powder (or 1.5t of seasoning blend to taste)
3hr on Low; stir every 30min. Then 30min uncovered at the end.

December 26th: A day to (literally) digest one's overindulgence, and regret the copious volume of leftovers in the fridge. 🤢

This is wrong, and this is abuse.
I know people don't see it as such, they see it as a prank with no harm, but you're using someone's medical condition to fuck with them, and that's not okay.
When people with dementia have to be redirected, sometimes with fibs, that is different.

The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction

What are the chances that someone has a spare Mary Brown's bonus points code kicking around? #Festivus is fried chicken day in my household and I'm just 371 points shy of the next redemption tier. 🍗🤏 #AiringOfGrievances

Found the door to one of the parcel slots on my own neighborhood superbox flapping in the wind this weekend. Thought maybe someone had merely forgotten to latch it. Perhaps I was wrong. 😡 "People... What a bunch of bastards!"

In today's episode of WTF-was-that?!, caught part of "Xanadu": It's like someone did copious amounts of coke while watching "Saturday Night Fever", "Singing in the Rain", and "Logan's Run"; then thought to merge them into a new movie...but with rollerskates! 🪩🛼🎥🙈 www.justwatch.com/ca/movie/xan...

Advice for anyone still without power who's worried about their fridge: Food normally kept cool (but not sensitive to precise temperature) can be put in a plastic tote and stashed outside in the shade. With outdoor temps of 0~2C, this should buy you some time before throwing it away. #NSStorm #NSwx

If this is society's future, we Gen-X/Xennial folk are going to be feral in the nursing homes!
From r/AskReddit: "People who grew up before cell phones, what did you do when you got lost in public?" www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/... Really?! 🤦 Ask someone (yes, talk in person *gasp*), paper map, etc.

Tie down the inflatable Santa, gas up the generator, charge the gadgets... Three 06Z Thu model runs now indicate gusts in excess of 100kph over a few hours Friday evening. 🌬️ #NSwx near #Kentville

Ah, the IWC (Internet wrestling community) never ceases to amaze: Where an openly trans woman pro-wrestler can be rumoured to be absent from television because they're pregnant?! 🤦 Umm...that's not how it works, people.

Keep his activity limited; no running or intense play for two weeks, the vet said. Yeah, right?! You try telling that to a stir-crazy, year old chihuahua. He might not have 🥜 anymore, but he's still an adolescent dog. 🐾🌀😵💫

Possible upside to RAM prices spiking (SSD, GPU expected to follow) as manufacturers cut from consumer markets to bolster AI demand; just maybe, software craftsmanship can make a comeback and devs will give a damn about bloat/efficiency again as we make due with leaner devices. Or AI drowns us all?!

It is f*ing miserable outside: Cold (-6.7C), damp (68% RH), gusty winds (~W25G35kph), blowing snow. Downright awful for shoveling and hauling firewood. -- I can deal with some snow, but this combination just cuts straight through you. #NSwx near #Kentville
