me wiring a keystone jack: Haha fuck yeah!!! yes!!
me wiring a passthrough connector: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

opened Microsoft Edge and there are a bunch of buttons on the right including one called "E-Tree" which I clicked and on clicking it it said "You've Got 10 Water Reward" and I have never been so direly confused about how I am supposed to react to something

this recipe is solid (gift nyt link), been making it for years, the initial outlay if you have absolutely none of these things is around $90 depending on where you shop (i know i know, that's not cheap) but the food cost for the whole recipe is about $16 or about $2 dollar per serving. It's not a hard recipe and you can adapt it pretty easily (i usually double up the coconut chips).

@bryanjclark dude, was there some app you had recommended that let you make a semi-offline travel/trip guide for ios, like you could just throw a bunch of pins somewhere and some notes and you could refer to it easily without having to trawl through google searches or their bad custom maps on ios implementation

the most confounding thing i continue to experience on a nearly weekly basis is driving behind somebody who hits their brakes and then, with brake lights still engaged, proceeds to accelerate away from me. do people use their left foot to brake and right to accelerate and sometimes mash both?

music is so great, i turn on basement jaxx's remedy immediately for just a moment i'm back in high school, listening to it on a discman on the bus to school

still annoyed that dan brown foisted 'symbology' onto the world two decades ago

absolutely going to check in some code that describes access persimmons and realizing i’ll end up adding fuyu and hachiya acl levels, you know, “just because”

just had a flashback to developing code for netvibes

spotify sucks but also, i want to just call out that maybe the most minor and surprising personal growth development in my lifetime has been my complete 180 on "New Age"/Elevator Music from when i was a kid to now. like, i absolutely scorned anything pure-moods adjacent back then and now i absolutely seek it out because it feels like it's doing something genuinely novel in much the same way idm/jungle felt when i first heard them in the mid 90s

honestly kinda ridiculous the number of things i have pirated just so i can screenshot them

Sunshine (2007) director, danny boyle. screenwriter, alex garland.

there’s something about the production of All I Want For Christmas Is You, the crispy drums, the kind of oppressive 4/4 beat paired with a kind of bittersweet cheer that, and this is the part i haven’t investigated too closely, _always_ reminds me of the theme music for Red Dwarf

been listening to it for over a decade and just realized this week that it's not saying "takin' over" or, like, it is, it is saying that, but the song is called technova and it's also saying that.

not sure if it’s just i’m using an old version, but swc turning [...iter] into [].concat(iter) just absolutely is the wrong transform if iter is a js iterator, not sure why it didn’t choose Array.from(iter)

something i think about a lot is this ui thing where people have basically decided that anything greater than, i dunno, ten items is impossible to display or arrange in any meaningful way so instead we’ll use search or ai + search or some mcguffin instead of trying to solve that problem.

there’s an implicit assumption that any search will winnow the collection to some manageable size where now you can paw at it like a monkey. but if your collection is large enough, you still have to look through a lot of things in some order without any useful facets to filter or group on or what have you.

“everything apps” (and operating systems like macos and ios) have this problem and just kick the can down the road seemingly forever and the real drag is that the design conventions seems to follow suit instead of innovating here.

nearly every single Ask Vanessa segment in the nyt has somebody tacitly asking permission to flaunt some sartorial norm, but my favorite detail is that the 'advice' is nearly always "oh yeah, that sure is a thing that happens!" which is followed by some minor meditations on the norm's history ending with some version of "lol there are no rules, you do you!"
