In all seriousness, I think it's time to accept that web search is currently broken as an idea, and we all need to go back to sharing our favorite links on personal websites. And we need to make personal websites a thing again, too.

I online-purchased an affordable kitchen island to use as a taberot. When it arrived, I was surprised to find it was actually made of solid wood and of proper cabinetry quality (albeit not high-end) and easily assembed.

The #ObsidianMD Border theme, coupled with the Style Settings plugin, is so lovely. You can customize the look and feel quickly without hunting for deeply nested selectors in the inspector to use in custom CSS snippets.

And the seamless embed option is excellent if you're like me and use transcludes everywhere. Great work, Akifyss, and co.!

It's slightly disconcerting how much better I feel for having had a coffee.

I'm trying to talk the dishes into washing themselves, but they aren't having it.

At any rate, destroy everything you touch.

Wawa complains about crime at their Center City locations, which is fair. However, the neighborhoods mysteriously improve dramatically soon after the Wawa is gone.

A random discovery that reminds me the web can still be interesting if only we're more interesting.

One thing I've learned from Federated is that we make too big a fuss over nudity. The idea of everyone running around buck-naked may sound prurient and titillating, but if it became common practice, it would be largely disappointing.

I'm getting closer. Somewhat counterintuitively, I've found manual focus works best.

I did nothing but take naps and watch YouTube all day.

No regrets.

I walked into a coffee shop I’ve been meaning to try for years, was met with the burnt coffee smell you probably know from that familiar big chain, and turned right on around.

Automatic post deletion, yea or nay? If so, why so? Otherwise, why not?

Why am I up so late? Because the g-damn split peas in my split pea soup are still al dente even after slow cooking on high for the last 11 f'ing hours.

I have the next nine days off and suddenly I feel something akin to agoraphobic about the unstructured time in front of me. I’ll bet this is how people getting out of the military or prison feel. Like it’s great, but also makes me anxious.

I'm reading a review of The Creator that goes on about the implications of Tyrell Corp's motto "more human than human" in Blade Runner, scoffs at the White Zombie relation, then never once notes it's a nod to Theodore Sturgeon. It's amazing how some people can be simultaneously famous yet totally unheard of.

The alcohol by volume in #beer should be printed LARGE on the FRONT label. Brought a six-pack home and eventually located the ABV: 9%. WTF?
