I saw someone talking about password rules…

The worst password idea I ever had was to actually write a script to generate 256 random characters, including special characters, to use for my WiFi password. I didn't realize that in the near future, I would have devices that needed WiFi but couldn't accept a cut and paste of the password because they had no USB ports or GUI that would allow it.

Manually entering WiFi passwords on "Smart TVs" and other devices sucks by the way.

Why do they still call them "podcasts" when there are no "Pods" involved?

Isn't it time to come up with a different name?

I'm wondering if my dumplings steamed faster than I expected or if I just was distracted, making it seem like it took less time. 🤔

Ow. I slept on my hand again last night, and it still hurts. 🤕

The same N-95, KN-95, and equivalent respirators that protect you from airborne contagious disease also provide protection from wildfire smoke.

It's too bad that I can't turn off my camera and microphone in real life like I can on Zoom.

Art without controversy?? Someone doesn't really get art. Maybe they slept through art history in school?

Is there a name for the entire class of nonsensical debates like "is a thumb a finger?" or "is [x] a sandwich?", and if so what do we call those? (besides pointless and annoying)

It seems contradictory to me that at many schools, you can get a bachelor of arts or a bachelor of science in the same field. Which is it? Is the field an art or science?

Now that Internet search has been ruined, I'm going to start calling them quests instead of searches.

Reminder: Abusive parents exist and that sometimes includes mothers. You are under no obligation to honor abusive parents, and you don't deserve to feel any shame or guilt about it. Abuse is never the victim's fault.

Hopefully this day will not be too painful, sad, or uncomfortable. You deserve a nice quiet, peaceful day too.

Anyone else who keeps thinking Net Zero is a crappy dial-up Internet service from the 1990s whenever anyone talks about it? 🙋‍♂️

I miss when I had less forehead. It was nice when my hairline and my eyebrows were in the same time zone.

I find expressions with directions in them interesting, ones like "beating up", "dressing down", "pitching in", "pulling out".

I wonder if other languages do things like that too.

As a general rule, I avoid posting or reposting quotations from famous people unless they're accompanied with the citation of or link to a reasonably good source. But I so very, very often want to boost the quotes I agree with even if I am unsure of their true provenance. sigh

Many years ago, on another platform, someone said that humans are digestive tracts that eventually evolved nervous systems and brains, and not the other way around.

And that has forever changed how I think about being human.

Ugh… had to remove and reinstall all our smart lamps (smart plugs actually) after today's split second power outage. 🙃

What a pain. It shouldn't have to be that complicated or that sensitive to power fluctuations.
