I was talking to a friend there and he told me people in the suburbs are having trouble getting their lawns mowed now. So glad I got out of there.

Depends on what it is. If it’s where I put something, something I need to get done, or what I went to the grocery store for, my memory is horrible. If it’s a completely useless fact that will never come in handy, my memory is amazing.

We just moved to a new place that doesn’t have fences, so we’re working really hard on not running off at every opportunity. She’s currently watching a squirrel across the street and not bolting, so we’re making good progress.

Lucas Limon - I never understood how kids could eat. Even before they found lead in it.

Got to keep the TV boxes in case you ever move. TV moving boxes are ridiculously expensive.

About 15 years ago I did some work with a large international pharmaceutical company with over 2,000 of offices across the world. There was a laptop in an empty cubicle with signs like this on it. Apparently if it turned off their entire email system would go down.

Kristen Schaal - I absolutely hated her in 30 Rock and that just stuck with me. But I’m starting to come around since What We Do in the Shadows. I also never had a problem with her voice acting.

That is way too nicely built. For the true Gen-X feel you need cinderblocks and plywood.

The man smoked 3-4 packs of cigarettes a day, so that’s all you could smell. Thankfully we didn’t have to sleep there. My parents would have us stay at the motel/grocery/gas station/bar/restaurant/video store/boat rental/fish license place in town.

My wife was home sick one day and I started to feel sick so I left work early. For some reason I don’t remember why I came in the house through the front door, when I normally came through the garage. Upon hearing the front door open at a random time of the day and being very protective of us especially when sick, my borde collie came running out of the bedroom growling like I had never heard her do before with teeth showing. The second she realized it was me she stopped and came over for pets.

That’s good to know. She for sure has the husky undercoat. When she was a puppy she feels into the pool when it was 20° out. I took her to the vet to get her checked out and they told me she was just fine because of the undercoat.

The only reason we went so short is because we are moving to Connecticut and our new house is in a very wooded area. So ticks are a real threat. Since we don’t have a lot of experience dealing with ticks we decided to cut it short so we can better see them.

Of course she is on Frontline but still didn’t want her giving them a ride back into the house with all her fur. Once we get settled and are able to assess the property and hopefully get some tick defense stuff in place, we’ll let it grow out again.

I’ll be sure to keep an extra eye on her when she’s outside. She’s such a cold weather dog that she sits in the shade almost exclusively unless it’s the dead of winter. But that is in Texas. I’m sure she’s going to love Connecticut.

Also, since it always comes up, she was found on the streets so we don’t know her back story, but had her DNA tested. She is:

• 39.3% Siberian Husky
• 17.1% Cocker Spaniel
• 15.2% Bichon Frise
• 8.8% Pomeranian
• 5.3% German Shepherd Dog
• 4.7% Maltese
• 9.6% Supermutt (with traces of Alaskan Malamute and Small Poodle)

The Husky and German Shepherd Dog come from Mom. Dad was everything else.

Reminds me of my hermit uncle who used to clean the beer cans off of his floor with a rake before we would come visit.

This is me with unsaved files in VS Code. Every so often I’d go through and try to clean them up but it stayed around 150 files. I got a new laptop a couple of weeks ago and I’ve slowly crawled back up to about 15-20.

The red nub on IBM/Lenovo laptops is far superior to a touchpad

I absolutely hate the package management in it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve found a cool python project, downloaded it from GitHub then tried to install requirements. And it turns into a huge nightmare of trying to find compatible packages. It’ll be like you need wheel v3.1.0 so I try to install that,.then it’s like no you can’t do that because it’s not compatible with numpy v79.84.1 that you have installed. So then you search and try to find which version is compatible, then install they go to install wheel again,.and it’s like no you need pandas,.so you install pandas but it like sorry I’m not compatible with the version of numpy you installed.

I’m this old

I cancelled whatever HBO is calling their streaming platform now and signed back up for Hulu.

Finally watching the final season of What We Do in the Shadows

Also, restarted King of the Hill for probably the third or fourth time.

This season series has been great, bruv

I do a monthly newsletter at work. I collect the stuff for the newsletter in an Excel sheet. I normally end up with around 12 items or so. But that makes my Excel sheet stop on line 13 because of the header row. So I’ll add 2 more things. Because if I just add 1 then it will be 13 entries. So my newsletter will have less than 11 or more than 14 entries. I don’t know why, I don’t care about the number 13 anywhere else in my life.
