All’s well that ends well

Where the hell did I put my utility knives? I have three of the bastards, and the only one still on the shelf is the one that takes weird blades that I don't have any of at the moment.

So if people are ready I'd like to do a sweep to pick up milk jugs around lunchtime? I have errands to run basically in a grand circle of the town anyways :).

@Cornellbox / @Ohbejuan / @csalzman / @george — DM me your address if the 12-2p timeframe works for you?

Did one of my engineers provide code comments in meme style? Yes. Did I slam the approve button on this merge request? Also yes. 🤣

Another day, another 4/6

Miss Rue got v. frustrated by our fence when I took her out over lunch. She’s been cruising along picking up confidence much faster than we thought she would—she was tracking squirrel and rabbit tracks back to the fenceline and I guess when the trail is interrupted by a barrier you can't see it's extra annoying.

Hey folks—Heather is interested in doing a winter gardening project that involves lots of (empty) milk jugs. If you generate empty gallon-sized milk jugs I would love to collect them for her. LMK?

Someone in team chat mentioned "resurrecting Google Stadia", and chat got savage:

"point of order: a thing must at one point have been alive to be resurrected"

🤣 🔥

My default here has been the paid ProtonMail, it's still $4/mo, and the new G Workspace plan will be $6/mo plus them harvesting my data.

I guess the free tier of google's GSuite is going away in a couple of months. This will finally prompt me to set up a more privacy-centric alternative. Anyone here a go-getter that has transitioned to a non-google alternative that they like?

I mostly just want to bring my own domain.

Gods help me, I mentioned cryptocurrency on birdsite and now I fear for my mentions when I return.

MS is now the top of that chart plus their colored squares plus Bethesda.

I wonder who Sony will try to buy in order to close the gap 😬

This is too much consolidation, imo. Lord knows Activision has a bad rep and MS might be able to fix that but... c'mon

Microsoft is _buying_ Activision, holy shit

Friends, I had a real cup of coffee for the first time (figured since I was making a longish drive) since arriving back from vacation... and this was a huge mistake.

My body is *struggling* with this caffeine dose

Back, her eyes healed up great, stitches out. To the future!

Gonna take Miss Rue to get her stitches out!

Is there anything one should do with empty pill containers? Do people want these for other purposes?

I always feel bad putting clean, durable plastic containers in the bin.
