You know you've spent too long in #vim when you're on a web page and hit G to get to the bottom.

In November 2022 I bought an #ASUS BR1100 netbook on closeout at #MicroCenter and the #CMOS battery has died. So I went out to get a replacement and then opened up the computer.

For some reason, the battery was in a little opaque shrinkwrap package glued below the motherboard. So I cut open the edges and -- of all the #cursed things on the planet -- the battery is SOLDERED to the connection wires. Who the fuck does this?? (Rhetorical question, because obviously ASUS does this.) #smdh

What the heck is on John Kruk's hat? I've been trying to decode that logo for a week.

Trying to decide which hashtag best fits the #Barbie debacle at the #AcademyAwards nominations where Ryan Gosling got nominated but #MargotRobbie and #GretaGerwig got stiffed.

Is the stadium PA playing Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself for Loving You" during batting practice a little too on the nose?

Does anyone know the US #tax rules for a #disabled person bringing a necessary companion on a business trip? Are the companion's airfare and lodging fully deductible?

Getting used to the new multi-account container tabs extension from #Firefox, and can't wait for an update to the feature that will let me automatically tie a domain to a container.

Do the laws and policies preventing Russian APT groups from attacking national assets also apply to the Trump Organization and the RNC? Because a guy who just asked for a billion dollars in bribes would be a hell of a ransomware or crypto theft target.

Now that #TraderJoes has failed the "don't be evil" test, does anyone know a good alternative place to get concentrated chai syrup like they have?

Marco Rubio was just on CNN claiming #CeasefireNow activists were celebrating the Iranian attack on Israel, echoing DJT's bullshit about Muslims dancing on Jersey City rooftops on 9/11.

There's a frightening overlap between the "ChatGPT is awesome" crowd and the "Do your own research" crowd.

Honestly, Five Below raising candy prices and getting rid of the "5 for $5" deal has been better for my waist line than their and Haribo's bottom lines.

Watching #AngelCityFC play the #OrlandoPride in Orlando, this is the first time I've seen an #NWSL game where the fans in the stadium don't have any banners and flags. They have to get the fuck out of Florida. Move the team to #Philadelphia.

Oops- finally saw one lonely lesbian pride flag behind the LA goal. I think my point still stands.

David Brooks gets to charge his $78 bar bill on an expense account for the newspaper that pays him a six figure salary and still feels entitled to complain about it, and this is why Americans think the New York Times is terrible.

I now it's Buy Nothing Day, but VersoBooks.com is having an 80% off all #Ebooks sale, including Miss Major Speaks and @pluralistic 's The Internet Con for $2 each.

Meanwhile, the 800 pound kindlezilla has @rfkuang 's Yellowface for $3.99 and The Poppy War for $1.99, so I'm making exceptions. They also have Eliot Page's Pageboy for $3.99 and Alison Bechdel's Are You My Mother for $2.99.

The #Mets revealed their #CityConnect uniforms today, and now I really feel cheated by what the #Phillies got.

Of course, people in Queens will be like "black pin stripes? WTF? Yankees suck!"

I want #Firefox to open any link that comes from another application (IRC, Discord, Steam, games, etc.) in a Private window, not a regular one.

And I don't want a plugin for this; I want it to be default behavior.

I've submitted this at https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/open-links-from-other-applications-in-private-window/idi-p/51181, so if you have comments or kudos, please have a look and join the official discussion.

I've been tired and uncreative for a long time. My best creative bursts have been when I was between paying gigs but I've had the same job for nine years now. "Not a big problem," I thought, "when I get to retire I can reignite that spark. Based on family history I should live into my nineties."

After four months of constant pain from degenerated discs, living into my nineties isn't feeling like the gift of free time I expected it to be. I'm not suicidal, but I am just. so. fucking. tired.
