Because Google wasn't quite terrible enough, now they're forcing me to remember days when I had to wear pants.

@Madhattermommy I'm 47 and I'm still that way with years work.

Me: thinking about pulling weeds from the landscaping

Partner: "Get can you pull some of those weeds from the landscaping? They look gross."

Me (reverting to 14 years of age): "Uuuuuugh do I haaaave to?"

Me: "So, that's my theory. What do you think? Is 'woke' nothing but a distillation of a language game but found in a real functioning language, referring to no fixed concept or tangible object in the world? Isn't it something that's given meaning purely by its surrounding context, which is to, and only to, elicit the next move in an exchange where rules and context have been developed for and by its participants?"

I don't drive too much, but I do own a car, a 2012 Hyundai. It's getting old enough now where I have to wait to order parts when they are needed (like replacement brake pads). So now today I'm waiting for them to call me to let me know I can pick up my car at the dealership.

I have a loaner in the meantime. It's strange that all the new cars are getting Tesla-fied. Keys in ignitions are a thing of the past. A computer display on the dash. Mystery buttons that aren't well-labeled everywhere. 😅

Morning Walk Report: Took our usual route, but reversed since it's a holiday. Boxnoggin did not like this—it is a Change in Routine, and we all know how he feels about those. Still, he got more than enough sniff-time in, and expressing his displeasure both wore him out and taught him (yet again) that I will not stand for foolishness.

He gets a lot of gentle redirection, this dog.

So, sad news today. , my favored streaming platform over the past couple of years during the pandemic, will be shutting down July 1st. That means that my streaming activities will be moving back to while I formalize my long-term plans for my online presence.

In the meantime, I'll be doing a few more streams playing games and talking about more serious subject matters. Today I will be resuming my base. Come visit me here while supplies last!

I know that weather forecasting is more of an art form than science at times, but I sort of have to believe the models are broken when they continuously forecast a 50% chance of rain three days out that consistently fails to materialize.

We were forecast to have thunderstorms all week this week, or at least a better-than-even chance of them each day this week. So far? One slight drizzle. That was it. The rest of the week doesn't look too good, either.

@gdinwiddie I know how probabilities work. Two summers worth of flipping coins and having it come up as tails every time indicates the stated odds aren't really that accurate.

I would stream today but the ongoing issues with my network connection from my gaming PC forces me to hold off until tomorrow. Hopefully not only will this resolve my immediate issues but I can finally get rid of this ethernet cord I have to drape all over the place just to connect the upstairs to my cable modem. I'm crossing my fingers!

When I do start streaming again I'll be heading back to Twitch. Not sure if this will be permanent but it will be at least a temporary shelter.

Some predictions I'll probably regret making later:

  • I feel like we will end up defaulting on our debt in June. I know we've been down this road before and we've always pulled a last minute deal but this feels different. The US House is under the control of an insurrectionist party and they are out for blood.

  • I don't think Biden will declare the 14th or "mint the coin". Both scenarios are fantasies.

  • I think the situation will last for several days at least. Longer maybe.

I am relieved that the debt ceiling was lifted, though I'm not happy with the process overall. Again, the GOP had shown taking the economy hostage is a working strategy and they will keep doing it again and again to get their way.

Which of the following are still used like insults for the most part?

zalasur,
@zalasur@mastodon.surazal.net avatar

@futurebird I will gladly accept being called "nerd" and "geek" even if the term is meant to be insulting. "Academic", not so much but only because I'm a college dropout and I'd simply be confused.

"Intellectual" would probably make me a bit suspicious if someone called me that. Like, what are they implying, exactly? 🤔

Is the wordpress.com site editor just fundamentally broken, or is it a Firefox problem?

@ajroach42 Probably both.

I want to reinstall Windows. It's asking me questions that are making me nervous. If I choose "delete all my shit" is that just the drive Windows is be on (C:) or will it wipe all drives and I actually have to back up my files on an external hard drive?

@zalasur@mastodon.surazal.net avatar

@Juju So I am 95% certain that applies to your main OS drive only. I recall having a near panic attack when I ran into a similar situation but it turned out to be fine, but this was years ago and my recollection may be faulty.

Waiting an hour and a half on my car service appointment. Tried doing the crossword but, as always, I get hung up on the pop culture references.

I need a pop-culture-free crossword.
