My mother called me from the family new year’s dinner at my uncle’s place in Japan and I got to see my entire extended family (aunts, uncles, 96 year old grandmother, cousins and cousins’ husbands and kids). She then outed me in front of said entire extended family with “and say hi to your girlfriend for me! Bye!” before hanging up. Happy 2024! 😅

Fun covid datapoint.

I had it in 2022. Leonie had it last in mid 2023, and while I never tested +ve, I had the worst cold a week after, for 3 weeks. (I tested a LOT that month)

Funny thing tho. Since then my palette has changed.

I don’t like red wine much (used to be all I drank). I do like white (hated it before, largely). I dislike dark beer (all I used to drink). I like (within limits) normal beer.

WTAF. Also RIP my mostly red wine cellar

Need to test some other things like meat…

oop, massive X4.08 solar flare, first solar flare of the year!

(R3 radio blackout in effect on the sun facing side of the earth. I watched 10m ft8 just disappear and there's still nothing like 20 minutes later!)

“iMessage does not feel like a premium experience… because the service itself is so unreliable..” Don’t get me wrong, I have my problems with iMessage, but reliability isn’t one of them. Am I alone? https://mjtsai.com/blog/2023/12/29/beeper-and-the-centurion-lounge/

Doh - fireup the laptop and discover for some reason your NAS is not currently connected to #Tailscale and you've locked down everything expect a narrow #Plex port. This is going to put a dampener on a few holiday projects.

Looks like the price of the 2wd BZ4x has dropped here

IMO I think the Soltera is the better deal for AWD

Not a terrible car but a poor EV, horrible efficiency esp in the cold and terrible DC charging

At this price you would really have to not like the competition
