One of the downsides of getting older is I can't process as much caffeine as I used to.
I've been exploring decaf coffee beans for a year or so and I'm happy to say that there are some pretty good ones.
Good ones: almost as good as regular coffee from a good coffee roaster!

I finally finished Murderbot season 1. I watched it while house sitting somewhere with Apple TV, but my gig ended days before the last episode aired. I enjoyed it nearly as much as the books. I really hope they make more.

What's currently a good way to generate transcripts from long video/audio files? I tried using the speechrecognition python library and crashed my computer 😂

Something I never thought I'd say: I like when my bed companion snores. I find it reassuring that my tossing and turning isn't inhibiting their rest.

Global temperature rise may feel like it’s gradual, but the changes it brings can turn out to be sudden, massive, and self-reinforcing. A new report says Earth has reached a dire milestone with the widespread death of warm-water coral reefs. Is it too late to save them? Maybe not. Read more from […]

Is it the pain? | "My pain" / "the pain" — it's so much a part of my life I refer to it in generality. Maybe I'll say "chronic (lower) back pain" sometimes, but among those who know me it’s unnecessary. During this time I am learning. I absorb information, often difficult information. I need […]

One of the reasons why I vastly prefer local legends to fairy tales is that the former are often set in recognizable real world locations which are fascinating in their own right.

The MMR shot is safe and effective, and there is no credible evidence otherwise.
Breaking MMR into three shots means 3x more copays at the doctor’s office, 3x more hours of missed work, 3x more bummed out kiddos, and probably more than 3x as many kids who aren’t fully vaccinated.
