I had to demonstrate to my nephew how to open a jewel case. Wait why are they called jewel cases?

Cat needed some teeth cleaning. Cost more than a human cleaning and cat got to sleep through it with treats afterwards.

No one wants to use your on page ai wrapper to enhance their shopping experience. They will bring their own if the want to use ai at all.

K I measured this time. "family size" cereal box is a solid 6 bowls. So a family of three for two servings each.

I can't find a good replacement for Onitsuka Tiger slip-ons so I am trying some suede "driving" loafers. The thin bendy soles are the important part as well as no laces.

My AirPods are failing. Buy some new ones. Want to wash the car? Why not a rotary tool for paint restoration and all the fixings? Need a camber offset bolt for the rear suspension? Nope new control arms. Learning new prog lang? Got to have the manual in print.

I am in a terrible spending binge. Nothing life threatening just cutting into the amount I'm saving each month. And I feel a bit out of control. Car parts, spring clothes, electronics and books.

Lots of gambling ads in my podcasts lately.

How Rising Home Insurance Costs Are Linked to Your Credit History (Gift Article) In many states, homeowners with β€œexcellent” credit scores are charged less for home insurance than those with worse scores, even if they live in a disaster-prone area.

Explains some things. I have good credit and home insurance is pretty reasonable. Oklahoma. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

AI is really frustrating me today. Feature PR has 16 new security issues, random deprecated methods, straying dramatically from implementation plan, renamed all the pubsub topics for no reason, and introduced an unknown number of bugs. Clean up agents no help. Lost time using AI this time.

I am generally impressed by the quality of Apple products. While everything else gets shittier.

Cadbury mini eggs get worse every year. They've doubled the thickness of the candy shells and you can't taste the chocolate. Makes me sad.

It's the little things. Trump refusing to remove his ballcap when saluting fallen soldiers. You know it's because it was windy and his vanity did not permit him to go without a cap. You can bet on his vanity to overrule any class or respect he might otherwise be capable of.

So shameful how quickly Ukraine shared their anti drone tech. We should should be embarrassed as a country and don't deserve them as an ally.

YouTube has been really slow the last few days. Slow to populate thumbnails slow to start videos. Wonder if there are conflicts with custom DNS?

At least the WSJ comment section aren't impressed by Trump's war with Iran.

Saw some people driving on the highway be like "I am pulling over so that I don't drive into that tornado a mile ahead." And others who were completely oblivious despite the electrical sparks, pouring rain and hail, and extreme winds.

Watched the weather coverage all night last night. Pretty active. And another deadly tornado. It's the beginning of March and feels a little early for me.

Just terrible news today. Trump needs to just focus on his ballroom the rest of his term. Just introducing a world of hurt for everyone.

Been going through a rough few weeks of flare symptoms one of which includes an inability to sleep. It takes a couple of weeks but it's taking a toll now.

Happy for Trump to take Mullin from the senate. It'll be another republican but maybe not such a Trumpy bitch.

Saying we're not doing regime change and then weighing in with assassination threats for any emerging leader is a bit of doublespeak.

Texas race still close. Moderates ahead in both primaries.

Trump shows a lack of imagination in envisioning the worst case in Iran. It's not a status quo; it's a destabilized Middle East with large players like Turkey, Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan involved. The IRGC stays involved and kills hundreds of thousands of their own people.
