You: You haven't spent your Sunday chasing bees round the garden with your camera then drawing on the photos have you?

Me: What?! That sounds like a foolish way to waste an afternoon!

Also me: Yes, yes I have.

NASA stated that the Ingenuity helicopter has officially taken its last flight. 72 out of 5 planned flights is pretty darn good.

- The US flag code specifies it must be the colors red, white, and blue but does not specify the exact hue of red, white or blue.

- It also specifies that there must be 13 stripes of alternating red and white, and 50 white stars on a field of blue but does not specify where those stripes or stars must appear.

- Pink is a hue of red. Baby blue is a hue of blue. Pale pink can be considered an off-white.

- Conclusion: this is a US Flag code compliant American flag.

Who wants to write the first all emojis novel, "The House of Leaf Emojis"?

Remember when the year 199X was a long ways away, anime friends?

So I think next week's meals will be a redone version of this week's Meat and Rice Bowl. It's good, but it's not....right.

The main issue is that the rice I think had too much water. Instead of being a nice rice bowl, it mushed out into risotto. I followed the instructions in the recipe instead of my general "how to cook rice" recipe, so we'll try it my way this time and see if it comes out better.

Secondly, the bowl itself was really good, but had chilli paste in it. This didn't ruin the bowl, but added a bit of spice flavor I wasn't really expecting. So I 'm gonna try the meal again without it.

Also: Cinnamon Rolls, try #3.

AMAZING interview with a company today, hope it works out. My only fear is that it's a remote company trying to go remote/hybrid based out of Texas.

They've said the job is remote only, but if they decide that I need to move, while it would be a move back to Austin, it would be a move back to TEXAS, and that's not happening any time soon.

> Many times when I identified as Libertarian, people said to me, “It’s just rich white guys that don’t want to be told what to do,” and I had a zillion answers to that — and now that seems 100 percent accurate.

> I’m going to vote Democrat, maybe that’s all you need to know. I will not vote for a third-party candidate.

so you like conspiracy theories, do you? here's one i'm trying to get off the ground: the OSI model is a LIE. the government doesn't want you to know that TCP/IP has functioned by the principles of quantum entaglement since 1974. there is only the SPAAD protocol--Spooky Packets At A Distance.

(you have to be multiple kinds of nerd to appreciate this one)

anyway! you heard it here first, COVID may interfere with your ability to pass CAPTCHAs

Sorry. Sometimes I go down these side roads.
