I did it twice today. The second time wasn’t as epic, but damn was the one this morning great.

I don’t use emoji very much. The most I use is when I’m working and sometime asks me to take on a task in Slack. There is a thumbs up all emoji that is just the skin tone shifting to all the colors. I like it because then I don’t have to give a fuck about it.

Beef makes money. Just like cars, oil makes money.

You can block communities?

Like I can with Klarna, Affirm, Zip, any number of credit cards, etc.

Which is cheaper, switch out manufacturing processes and change the whole industry, or tell the consumer in a commercial that it’s all on them?

I have so many, but today I was listening to the radio and was really getting into Elton John’s “I’m Still Standing”, Heart’s “Crazy On You”, and Peter Schilling’s “Major Tom”. It was truly a good day on the radio.

I had a chance to read the pilot pitch script for Breaking Bad and it was one of the best I have ever read. Was the reason I started watching the show in the first place.

Didn’t expect that.

George Carlin said it best with his Soft Language skit.

I’m going to second this one. I volunteer for an air museum and it’s folks from late 30s and up.

Often when I’m working on some code, all my errors are because of something much different than what the error message is telling me. I’ve learned that often, most problems have a different cause and better solution.

Before I read anything on the can, I was expecting tomato pudding.

When I was 18, I worked in a convenience store. I was behind the counter with my manager and some lady decided to throw a few bucks at some dollar scratch tickets. I was behind silly and put my finger on the middle one and said it would get her at least five dollars. She laughed and took them out to her car. A few minutes later she came in looking like she saw a ghost. She asked how I knew and I just told her that I guessed. She won exactly five dollars on the ticket I pointed out.

John Lennon was pure asshole. He abused his first wife, who he only married because his manager didn’t want one of these new starts to father and illegitimate child. And that child, he tormented and ignored. Second wife, second child, both wanted and given everything.

Knowing Better Dude does amazing deep dives into topics that’s we should know more about that explain things that are a bit controversial.

Fire tablets would be way more useful if Amazon killed their app store and just went with Google and Android. Not smiling for Google, but the Amazon app store is shit and doesn’t include useful things. And Amazon gets all the telemetry.

I usually don’t when it’s just for me. But if I’m feeding more, it can be better with more people. But not often do I have to feed more than three and it makes sense.

Check out Tailscale. They have 20 machine limit on the free plan. It runs on wireguard and is pretty secure.

Gambling has been mentioned already, but I think it’s also the statistics of gambling that gets lost on people. If something has a 1 in 30 chance of a payout, it doesn’t mean that in 30 tries there will be at least one payout, it means that there is a thirty percent (I don’t know the percentage accuracy right now) chance of that single attempt to payout. When I worked in a liquor store and sold scratch off tickets, people would look at the odds on the back and buy so many thinking this way.
