Tech folks - pay attention to your user interface. Nobody cares that the caller ID says "VoIP Caller." I didn't need to know that. Most people don't know what "VoIP" means.
Electric F-150 "Lightning." I love that they're finally offering an electric version of this vehicle soon. Great for the planet.
That being said, I'm still waiting for the CyberTruck. People say traditional trucks are "tried and true," and that they "know what people want." BS. They know what people are *familiar with*, because that's the only choice they've ever had for a truck. Ugly and boring.
The CyberTruck looks different and I'm sure its specs will be great for doing "truck things."

"we didn't start the fire" is literally a song about boomers refusing to take responsibility for the state of the world
Working remote or remotely working, amirite?
Perfectly sunny day yesterday. Got 65 kWh out of the solar array. Previous days, not so much.
258 EB in the last 24 hours? That's almost 24 million Gbps! I mean, my fiber is fast but...
@agw started saying "s" sounds at the ends of words today. He can count to at least 13 and recognizes most of the alphabet with difficulty deciphering "E", "W", and 'X". Though he does scream and cry for hours on end, especially after naps.
But he's only 21 months old so I'll cut him some slack.

@brion So could you fly the plane long enough to encounter plane software bugs and does flight simulator implement them or would windows update win? 🤔

Making yogurt is like using a git repo. Each new item is based on the last and there's always some kind of evolution going on.
@agw is in hour four of his afternoon nap....
I just spent way too long troubleshooting an HDMI connection only to finally notice that the cable was directional. Sheesh.
I had to manually encode the recipient delimiter "+" to "%2B" in a password reset email link because my hunch was the server didn't know how to parse it correctly. I was right. Sigh.
The president needs to answer for treason.
Commit a crime in the service of the president? No problem! He'll pardon you on his way out. Worried about being convicted in the future? He's got you covered. Make sure to stay on his good side and you'll be in the good ol' corrupt boys club forever.
