All the snacks in the cabinet are the wrong snacks: a tragedy

And why are these apples so terrible: a horror story

I somehow got onto Joe Biden’s very busy mailing list they require me to provide my name and zip code to unsubscribe, ughhhh (Obviously my name is now Nunya Business and I live in 11111, they’re getting quality info in this form)

Even if I was the sort of person who liked political mailing lists, the volume is absurd, I don’t understand why anyone would want this

First dance class since 2006, so out of shape, had fun but might die 😂

The teacher could tell I knew the steps and could theoretically do them faster, tried to get me to do one double time but by that point my legs were like absolutely not. Then she apparently ends every class with “cardio” aka 3.5 minutes of time steps 😆☠️

@nocontexttrek the real question is why a science officer is using imperial measurements in the 23rd century

Current project, this is my first attempt at cables and my first attempt at a sweater, so it’s an adventure all around. I finished the first full repetition of the pattern and I think it’s going well so far! There’s a couple of mistakes in there but they’re minor enough to live with. I’m paranoid that I’m going to finish the sweater and it won’t fit, though 😅

Finished the first side! Now I have to make another just like it, the front and back are identical. It’s a little looser at the top than the bottom, but close enough probably. I didn’t bother tucking the loose yarn in on the backside as much as in my test piece, I think they’re short enough not to snag.

Reverse side of the same piece with alternating turquoise and black patches

Finished the second side and sewed it together! I still need to add arms, but the torso fits!

Same sweater, open so you can see it really does have 2 sides
Mirror selfie wearing the sweater, it fits!

When you accidentally do a gesture that your computer interprets as showing all your desktops or merge windows or something and now your whole world is upside down and backwards and there's no obvious way to fix it.

@triptych one time I accidentally discovered the keyboard shortcut to literally turn the display upside down, that was fun to fix

Here’s to the 90s radio jingles that live on in my head long after the stores they advertised are gone

Honorable mention to that mentos commercial that gets stuck in my head all the time

Corporate IT sent out messages a couple of days ago to a bunch of people on my team that their macOS version was out of date and they needed to update, and now like half my team can’t get online anymore, and this is why people don’t update their software.

Fortunately (?) I’m over here with a laptop that is too old to upgrade so I had to request a whole new one, so I can still get work done

I was clearing out old browser tabs on my work computer and found so many things with 3+ copies open, one notably with at least 7, and it is possible I need a browser tab intervention

Listen though, if you need a thing that someone linked me to last week I got you

Yeahhhh, finally using something I designed back in 2017 🥹

It’s a tiny thing for a very specific use case that we ended up not building, but we are now so jazz hands

Sometimes I search for things on Google and am baffled by what it thought was helpful, and sometimes I search for documentation on Rust's std::test module and I'm just like "well. I just walked right into that one".

@mcc my favorite example of this is searching for how to mark up the html for an accordion component with ARIA and getting a bunch of videos of people playing arias on accordions

@steveportigal oh, at least 2 emails to everyone, one to screw something up and at least one more to fix it 😆
