Writer, web developer, cancer, father. Also, I’ll be retiring soon. Multiple myeloma, and some other stuff. Let’s do this.
One of the unsung benefits of a password manager is being able to tell if you have been somewhere before. Did I buy used books here once?

No one is saying that Microsoft shouldn't offer cloud syncing and computing with Windows, but taking away user choice is always a bully move made to benefit the company more than the user. Sigh. To Rufus, to get around Microsoft AGAIN.

Thanks to cell phones, this is all but worthless, but man, I was walking tall with this bad boy on my wrist back in the 80s.

You guys are adorable. The answer is all of them. Look up nuclear winter. Go back to worrying about school shootings and stuff you can do something about.

Travel vaccines? Man, I don't what the heck this is, but I don't want to go wherever they have that.

Dear Costco,
Please, please, please bring it back. It's the only way I can afford to eat toffee. I can't be paying $24 for like 8 pieces.

Doing a little bit of tidying up. Putting some books away from the piles. Found 4, count them FOUR, duplicates in the last couple of days. Including this one that never made it in from the car because I had the bright idea to put it in the glove box. New registration led to its discovery.

I can download the video clips off of my Eufy security camera with 8GB of storage... one at a time... via the app... mobile device only. It's almost as irritating as having to pay a monthly subscription fee.

Man, if you want actual diversification, we are going to need a No FAANG and No NVIDIA mutual fund. Otherwise, you're just doubling and tripling up on those. Even this T. Rowe Price Dividend Growth fund has Microsoft and Apple as its top 2 holdings.

Wasn't that long ago that lumber prices were rising so fast, it was going to double the price of homes, or something like that.

So, you needed to leave your icons in the same locations or needed to not reverse the arrows. What you ended up doing was saying the same thing was both right and wrong. If you're gonna use AI to generate your images, you need to check them carefully.

AI will replace your job that requires a bit of nuance and understanding of human nature though. I shouldn't have to tell it about Mint. It's hardly a secret and I'm probably not the first person to say something. I guess they couldn't infringe on enough good-bye mint articles.

So, I guess closing my web browser isn't going to help. And, this is why I need to get off my butt and buy a new computer.

Everytime I see a sale on security cameras I have to remind myself that most of them are unusable to me. I refuse to pay for a subscription to use the features of my security camera, so Ring, Blink, and most of the others are right out.
