I'd be so good at the part of parenting that is handing the child a novel food item and seeing if they like it. I'd be bad at every other part.

I remember a small panic about 5G interrupting weather predictions back in 2018. It looks like they were right about the timeline and the weather forecasts being broken but were wrong about the cause.
The Bay Area weather radar has been out of service since Saturday.
During a radar outage, the weather service typically relies on public precipitation reports through social media and phone calls. But the phone lines at the Monterey weather service office have been down since early Sunday morning.

What's everyone's feeling on getting a link to a Canva slideshow or Notion site for a design candidate's portfolio? I think I have a strong preference for an actual website but maybe it's a sign that I'm out of touch.

Van Gogh as romantic icon is funny to me because he was kind of repulsive. Fired from his parish for being a stinky slob. The only artist who joined his art commune had to be bribed. Cut off his ear when that artist slept with a woman he liked. Big weeb. Died because his brother skipped a vacation.

Did you take a job aptitude test in high school? In my imagination other schools had some kind of test that recommended jobs to students and it always seemed fun.
