Thoughts Before Bed

"Let me tell you one thing, son. Nobody ever lends money to a man with a sense of humor!"

Another great short from the Roddenberry Archive about Phase II. IT goes pretty deep, though, and goes all the way back to "The God Thing" story from 1975. Great recreations of the proposed TV models, excellent interviews that had even me learn something new. If you're a Trek fan, worth 30 minutes your time.

Just cancelled my vacation plans. The $289 I just spent on TWO medications (TWO!) and the $150 I paid for a blood test wiped out everything I'd saved up for, as well as ate fairly deep into next week's groceries.

I paid $20 for these two meds on my last employer's insurance, and on Medicare when I was unemployed? $0.

I decided to check and see why and apparently my medical expenses for July was $1000, or about a quarter of my monthly income. Between that and rent, no wonder I can't make ends meet despite the pay bump.

I went from a trip to California, to a trip to the coast, to a trip to Leavenworth, to a trip to the couch, to a trip to the MRE stash all because of the cost of medical stuff.

Those of you with socialized medicine? Count your blessings.

...i also now need a vacation from my vacation planning...

Having late breakfast on the porch. Already started the work day.

Nearly perfect temperature, light breeze, clear blue sky, and a humming bird just flitted by.

This is much better.

I go back and forth on having a work device near to hand most times.

It means they can reach me during breakfast, but it also means I can sit outside and enjoy this beautiful day, while still covering my responsibilities.

Covid proved that many white collar computer jobs can be done 100% remote.

God damn it how is it fucking seafair again already

I'd rather face the messy web design of early internet where the page had everything stuffed toghether in a chaotic mixture of buttons and banners than using this modern designs where minimalism has taken all the important infomation away making the website a useless infinite scroll-to-nothing CPU-eating machine.

#PSA
This is your friendly reminder that if you, like me, are driven crazy by tiny little invisible scrollbars that are nearly impossible to see and click, and you use #Firefox, there's an advanced configuration setting for that:
"widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override".
I personally have it set to "25", rather than the default which is "0".
Details on how to set it: <support.mozilla.org/kb/about-c>.
