The first weekend of the month I spend deep cleaning the house. It didn't happen last month, cause of the neck pain. But this week I'm doing pretty good, and managed to do the living room and dining room, as well as the kitchen hallway.

Then I managed to cook two of next week's three meals for the week, AND riffed a pretty good movie with friends without being surly cause of pain.

It was a good day, and I'm celebrating with a birthday cake flavored Blizzard.

I usually pay for it the next day, but we'll see. Cause there's still another half of the house to deep clean.

Dear Twitter people. Lots of us were once Twitter people too. This place will not spoon-feed you. Passive participation doesn’t work here. This is a very active and buzzing place, but unless you FOLLOW people and INTERACT, it will pass you by.

Follow people. Lots of them. You can always remove them later. But really, follow early, follow often.

Neck/Cough update. The neck has been acting pretty good this last week. Only occasional pain, and even then, not the "stab a knife in you" pain I was having a few weeks ago. More of a gentle throb now.

I am a little worried that I don't feel pain in the neck, but I am sitll having the tingling and weakness in my left arm. I'm wondering if the pain going away is actual the pain going away, or further damage that took the pain (and other things) away.

Using mastodon is easy. First, you declare your public key in a federated node close to the clique you want to stochastically associate with, and then perform a sufficiently verisimilar interpretive echolalia such that you've always-already been an integrated circuit in the libidinal economy. You will also, unfortunately, need a username and a password

Thoughts Before Bed:

I love the Transformers toys because I never really saw them as toys. I saw them as puzzles. Some of them had some some pretty complex transformations.

After the movie came out, the line changed and became a lot simpler, both in how they were made (way more plastic) and how they transformed (way simpler). That's probably why I lost interested in the line.

I love these new G1 re-releases because I not only get the figures I never got in the 80s, but they're all the original run, which had really good puzzle like transformations.

OMG, my go-to Teriyaki place in town that let me down last time? NAILED IT today.

Might need to wait a tiny bit on the Teaberry Ice Cream. I'm finally out of teaberry extract which I think is fairly rare outside of the Northeast. I can get it, but I'll have to be ordered.

Considering 1 oz lasted me almost five years, it's worth the shipping price.

This loss to Texas hurt.

Oh, you're queer?

Then name one aspect of western civilisation you've destroyed.

Wow. That episode of Strange New Worlds went full Doctor Who there, and did it amazingly while bringing some fixes to the Star Trek timelines, and even mending a dangling plot from Enterprise.

It's certainly looking like SNW could be this era of Trek's DS9.

Shattering the myth of men as hunters and women as gatherers

phys.org/news/2023-06-shatteri

"They found that women hunt in 79% of the analyzed societies, regardless of their status as mothers. More than 70% of female hunting appears to be intentional—as opposed to opportunistic killing of animals encountered while performing other activities, and intentional hunting by women appears to target game of all sizes, most often large game."
