Overheard: "In metallurgy there's 'pre-war steel': all steel smelted since the start of nuclear tests is slightly radioactive -- not enough to be dangerous, but enough to throw off sensitive equipment. Thus, steel poured before 1945 has more value. 2022 is that year for AI slop."

Got a CD in the mail from Japan, and I think they sent me a well-made bootleg. I.E.: the morse-code title has an error, the track lists in the booklet and on the back are different, both lists show 9 tracks when the CD has 10. Weirdly, this feels like it's more valuable.

Just got an unsolicited but legit email from my bank, offering to teach me how to avoid phishing scams, "just click on these links to find out more." My brother in Mammon, this trains them to succumb to phishing scams.

If I lived a single-task/single-focus life, and didn't stay on top of everything to catch every opportunity, I wouldn't have enough time to see my therapist about my anxiety issues. Sad!
