...right, it's right in the middle of my pile of other unread books I've recently had out... (ok so I guess they're not ALL unread; I did read the top two, at least...)

For a fun time, think as well about which of these two has gotten Microsoft to bend over backwards and shut down numerous github repos (against Github's own TOS, even!).

Hint: it's not the one with Trump.

I wish that the default iOS photos app had an "interior crop" tool... often screenshots I take are too tall to share, but the part that needs to be removed isn't at the edges, but rather in the middle...

Like, yes, I *want* it to be spring already, but pretending that it is when I can look outside and easily see that it isn't actually yet, that's just going to make me resentful.

As someone who has had birthdays fall on both Ash Wednesdays and House session day, I think that session days honestly do a better sense of instilling a sense of "You are dust and to dust you shall return" than actual Ash Wednesday services do.

Vote on "Shall Member Continue" is 91-82, which fails to reach the margin necessary to succeed, and then Deputy Speaker Smith declares there is no longer a quorum, and the session is thus adjourned.
