OMFG, grow the hell on up. This was today on a shopping site.
I can almost hear the dialup modem grinding away on copper landline: “this site optimized for Internet Explorer” and “free e-mail for life at Net@ddress” oh, and “Infoseek”
Going to hang out with some Methodists this morning. Brian has a musician gig here. Christmas cantata.
Quad espresso. For when one, two, or three aren’t enough. ☕☕☕☕
Good to be back doing the usual at M’Coul’s.
We had to get up early this morning, so we went to bed real early last night, like 10:30. I couldn’t sleep because I kept thinking about two taquitos I had in the refrigerator, so I got up at midnight, ate those, then went back to bed and was able to sleep.

Family drama from ages ago when I was a child that is now funny.
My father was often temperamental and explosive.
We were all at the kitchen counter one morning eating cereal. My father was a bit noisy munching and slurping. My brother says to him, “I just love to watch you eat.”
As if hit by a bolt of electricity, I abandoned my cereal and bolted out the door to the outside only catching my father yelling “WTF!”
A fight smoldered for days. I asked my brother why he did that. He smiled and said, “he lives for it.”
A thing about family, buttons can be so accurately pressed.

High-end luxury breakfast with rare ingredients that only the wealthy can afford topped with exotic fruit.
The frustration of solving CAPTCHAs, let me count the ways:
— pick out the “motorbuses” when some of the trucks are counted as buses.
— pick out the trains when some of the pics are too close up to tell if it’s the side of a train or bus.
— pick out the fire hydrants when there are mailboxes that are counted as hydrants.
— pick out traffic lights. Do I count the housings and the ones so far in the distance that I can’t really tell what I’m looking at?
— pick out the storefronts when I don’t know what little stores look like on the other side of the world.
— when I know I’ve scored 100% but have to do 3 screens regardless.
— CAPTCHA not at all suitable for the visually impaired.
— I still have to solve these things when I have 2-factor authentication turned on.
— CAPTCHA protecting something of life and death importance, like a music streaming service.
Brian and I found these Docs on sale for a good price at Zappos. 🦄🌈
I still get a lot of news and unfiltered reading by means of RSS (the feeds) and Telegram messenger.
To get RSS feeds on desktop, the Thunderbird e-mail app and Vivaldi browser have a feed reader you can set up, or there are stand-alone apps. On mobile, there are apps, but I find many barely work.
Telegram is available for everything.
They keep me in the reading. Good ways to get things direct.
Direct e-mail subscriptions also good, but I get buried in that.
