Every once in a while you have to ask yourself, given the nonsense, why am I here and not there.

It took me a second to work out the whacky way PetSmart sorts fish tank sizes - but that there is only 1 30G & over tank but 11 40-54G tanks...seems wrong.

When it doesn't just hallucinate but makes me wonder if I am hallucinating too! I definitely did not type index.htmll!

The message itself was apparently 1 truss temporary.

Happy anniversary of the publication of Principia - July 15, 1686! TIL Halley (of Halley's comet fame funded it's publication).

I was fiddling with extension APIs & briefly started triggering this. Reddit says it's not new but I only tripped it now. The wording is so dubious! Seemed to imply X was looking out for me - heh - no.

Is there a write up on tricks used?

Fun SSL times @microsoft.com.

Yet again recursion bites me. Asking an LLM if it thinks I treat it good - you should do this too and reply with screenshots on this thread.

Even graffiti artists seem to understand that ACLs Don’t.

Spotted wandering around on my morning run in "The City" (hola @redwoodcityca.bsky.social!). For kids who aren't aware, this is a machine that makes something more valuable than golden eggs.

It lays actual eggs. Valuable valuable actual tasty eggs.

The misaligned attempts I think all pointed at Lyra but Pluto seemed so perfect a coincidence it was worth walking/running around to get the parallax just right.

X marks the spot...where pluto is! No seriously! I had to walk a bunch after I saw the contrails to get this to line up.

It's no manhattanhenge but hey even
@neildegrassetyson.com could not "well actually" this!

Presumably in the future everyone will still laugh at the Arrested Development line but because that's a ridiculously cheap price for a banana. We should make bets on when...

Coffee run this morning to downtown RWC.

As a result of a passing joke with a friend, I was reminded today that signaling "Error" with semaphore flags is essentially flailing around with the flags.

I was a kid when I first learnt this & was tickled silly that it's the one signal that semaphore experts & n00bs would get equally right.
