Anyone remember Froze Toes "ice cream" from ther 1980s? Anyone remember it not really being ice cream, but somce kind of ice sorbet? I used to get it because it never tasted like ice cream, but like...almost iced-juice.

Watching announcement if new tech sector layoffs the last few days. I'm nearly a year unemployed, and hanging on by the skin of my teeth. And I'm beginning to think things are looking a bit hopeless.

I'd like to pivot out, but I don't think I'm going to be able to keep the apartment if I do as I'd have to restart at entry level.....
