Being an adult is mostly just going to bed when you don't want to and also waking up when you don't want to.
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.

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.
