Thanks for the follow request, @BenHM3 but there's not enough activity on your account for a vibe check, so...

What's your favourite kind of tree?

Personally, I'm partial to spruces. I've got some delicious sustainably- and indigenous-harvested needles from Alaska that make a startlingly […]

I finally did something that I've been dithering about for months. And now that I've actually done it, I feel more anxious about it, because I can't take it back now.

Oh well, come what may.

If my old/former cell phone provider sends me a bill that says they owe me money, and they haven't paid it by the due date that they provided on the bill, do they also owe me a late fee?

I know the answer is probably "No", but it ought to be "Yes".

Gotta love trying to ask honest questions and being accused of trolling. I literally asked them to point me in the direction of whatever it is I'm missing, because clearly whatever media I'm consuming is lacking something that isn't lacking in their consumption.

I even got self-deprecating and […]

Due to my mathiness nature, I've decided to do this. Feel free to share this post hither and yon.

It's likely I won't be the only one doing this but 🤷‍♀️.

I may add more survey options in the future, but I'm starting with the platforms I'm most familiar with […]

I just watched a cardinal hover while chasing a bug, which included briefly flying backwards to overcorrect.

It wasn't a super stable or particularly long hover, maybe 10 or 15 seconds.

I guess whoever told me only hummingbirds can do that was wrong.

I'm not surprised that I broke a nail.
I am surprised that I didn't get any papercuts.

Should I be worried that, according to DFEOJM, archive.org has been down for about 5 hours?

I have a reminder that goes off at the beginning out every month (it's scheduled on the fourth to offset more important reoccurring events on the first) to log into Astroneer and check the in-game store for freebies.

Here are this month's offerings.

While I think it turned out about as well as it possibly could have, I'm not terribly happy with it.

Also, the red looks more red in the image than IRL. It's deep maroon, almost dark brown to my eyes, but this is my first time using that color, I didn't try it […]

It remains a mystery to me as to why people on Bluesky that are complaining about Bluesky continue to complain about Bluesky and still refuse to even TRY Mastodon

What's the best way to do the Pride flag on my fingernails?

I've been tempted multiple times over the last year to put the "get fedi hired" hashtag to use and ask for help finding work.

Do you know why I haven't?

Because every other post I see about someone using that tag is a person with more credentials and/or more impressive work experience than I […]

Sometimes, my brain tells stories about conversations I have, or what other people tell me about, or situations that are partially rooted in reality.

And sometimes I write them down.

Them: Hey you should read the Murderbot books.

Me: Wow, that all sounds really interesting. I'll add them to my to-read list.

Also me: goes into my book-reading tracker, discovers I read the first book last year, and I didn't care for it.

...I guess I won't be reading the series. Sorry, folks.
