@jerry yes. however as a rule I can't. if I ever do nap, it's usually because I am pretty sick. I'd rather just nap.

@Researchbuzz Fantastic. That's gotta feel like such a win.

@Researchbuzz nice work!

I'd like to thank the woman who demoed eating Cheetos with chopsticks to avoid getting powder on her fingers. I'm using a set of silicone tongs, but same concept and I'm not getting any of this chili lime dust on my electronics.

@da_667 I feel that one. At least our lab readily takes walk-ins so I can go early. Pre-coffee and food me does not appreciate having to wait until later in the day to get poked.

@cR0w thanks for the PSA. I still can't keep up, but I can at least piss 'em off when I use their lingo incorrectly,

The Why Chuck Norris Is An Icon jokes are my oldest surviving email thread. In honor of his passing, I've just forwarded them again to my brother in the latest installment of a back-and-forth we've been doing for over twenty years.

@nixCraft but the heavens opened up. they really did. unbeliever!

@tek I must say I take great joy in conscientiously using the blinkers in my wife's BMW. I'm sure there's no end of people surprised by it.

Got tired of digging through menus to toggle the "Friendly NPC Nameplates" and the personal bar setting every reload or login. If both/either bother you too:

`/run SetCVar("nameplateShowSelf",GetCVar"nameplateShowSelf"=="0" and 1 or 0)

and/or

`/run SetCVar("nameplateShowFriendlyNPCs",GetCVar"nameplateShowFriendlyNPCs"=="0" and 1 or 0)

can be tucked into a macro.

I wish I could block hashtags on pixelfed. What moves me in art is someone's creativity, their expression, and sometimes (for photos) the dumb luck of being in the right place and the right time with their finger on the shutter. It's about capturing the moment, not generating it deterministically. The ability to reproduce moments at will takes the wonder out of them.

Every blue moon, meaning about four times over ten years, the black cat will accept a treat from me (not by hand but on the ground) instead of requiring it to be in her food bowl. It’s a gesture of extreme trust, as she appears to believe strongly that food outside her bowl is meant to poison her. Most other times she will sniff it but politely decline.

I discontinued paying for an app, because their monthly login expiration was more annoying than the ads I was paying to remove. That whole login-in-the-browser-and-redirect-to-the-app thing doesn't work very well when you lock down your browser.

Reminding myself if I don't know what to say, I don't actually have to chime in. Also, not every complaint or observation is made in good faith to merit a reply.
