"My name is in the Epstein files." "Really? Victim or perp?"

Because my triglyceride score was so high on my last doctor visit, one of my new pills is fish oil... And boy howdy... its been an hour since I took them and every burp tastes like sardines. Why can't they jus go through my system and leave my mouth alone?

"Me... Me when your girl... YOU... You when your girl... When your girl sees... When our girl when she sees me... Sees me when I'm like, when I'm like shirtless!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3Cj...

"Oh God... OH GOD! What did I SAY?? What happened??"

So far...

This makes me really uncomfortable. But I can't stop watching...

I'm drinking my first Mountain Dew: Code Red since it first came out... So, like, 25 years? Lately, soft drinks in general have been giving me upset in the tum-tum, so I've been drinking mostly water. I'm watered out and needed something else. Hope I don't regert this!

I have been learning a lot of the nuances of rfc2833 and DTMF and, frankly, I'm bored of it...

Are there any apps out there designed specifically to circumvent "facial age verification" BS? I feel like there really should be. An app that generates a random headshot with a random background and sliders to control things like tilt, mouth open, winking, and whatever else the requesting app asks.

Finally pulled the trigger on cancelling my discord nitro. To be perfectly honest, I don't think I EVER took advantage of any of the "perks" it offered.

My dog doesn't bite anyone! But that's not my dog.

I gave myself a project for today. Clean the limescale out of the ice maker. 4:30 and I FINALLY get it put back together... God, that was a huge ordeal. My back is killing me. But it's super clean now. I can't believe how much calcium there was. Surprised the pump didn't burn out.

Why am I still awake?

I don't generally crap on people's creativity, but can we get some better names of furry characters up in here? I'm tired of seeing really cool characters that have names that are just their species... "Her name is Julie Katt." "His name is Lobo Wolf." Just... C'mon... You're like 9/10 of the way.

My sister was unaware that Peter Graves was one of the stars of Mission: Impossible. She was also unaware that Mission: Impossible was a TV series. Then the brother unit pointed out that I was unaware Leonard Nimoy was ALSO in Mission: Impossible.

I thought of something I wanted to do once I got home. I told myself, "Aww, you'll just forget." Well jokes on ME! I remembered! But I don't remember what I forgot. :/

I hate to be cynical, but I've been seeing more than a few bots starting to follow me under the guise of, "Please help, I'm from war-torn X and..." kind of accounts. The kind that are obvious scams. 0 posts, 0 followers, following hundreds. I can only hope nobody is giving them money.

Here's a law I want: CEO's have to lay themselves off too in any layoff. If you have to lay off your people, you failed. You should go too.

Since I mentioned time travelers, I saw a meme that basically said, "Now we know why nobody showed up to Hawking's time traveler party."

Does anyone else have a word or phrase they keep to themselves that, if anyone actually came up to you and said it, you would know they were a time traveler and believe them explicitly? ... I mean, do any of YOU weirdos have that?

I told my doctor at my last checkup that the ADD meds he gave me were kinda working, but the side effects were too much. (Having to take a sleep aid to counter the RLS was too much.) So he switched me to Adderall. I took my first one this morning. -->

it costs $0.00 to support an artist 🤗

We left the TV on, not paying attention to what Olympic events were happening. Dad asked what was on during dinner and I said, "Olympic Women's Hockey." My (conservative) sister chimed in and said, "Um, it's just 'hockey.'" As if the distinction was somehow offensive to her. -->

Yesterday, on the drive home, we saw smoke coming from under the hood of my car. I had no warnings (temp, oil, etc), so I thought something electrical. I pulled over and we opened the hood to find... Leaves. Lots of them. I'm guessing a squirrel started to build a nest on the engine at some point.

I found out the news. Adobe is killing off Animate. One of the programs I actually use. Let's see just how many viruses I get when I'm forced to download a cracked version. Thanks, @adobe.com

Oh god... What did Adobe do NOW?

I've seen some more Nintendo news recently that really makes me happy that I have zero interest in owning a Switch 2. It'll be a glorious day when someone finally cracks it. Maybe then I'll have renewed interest. But the way N behaves is just deplorable.

The "Rifftrax makes MST3K" kickstarter might break the record for "fastest to $1,000,000! www.kickstarter.com/projects/rif...

I'm watching some TNG episode and it got me thinking. The phaser, to me, has always been such a terrifying weapon. It's ability to just make someone vanish. Completely atomized. Nothing left. They just stop existing. And anyone looking for them will never find a trace, wondering what happened.

I had a weird dream last night. I have a head lamp that I wear when I take my dogs out at night. In the dream, I was walking around a neighborhood at night while wearing it. As I rounded a corner, a very large person (~10 feet tall, but odd proportions) came up to me and demanded my "body cam." -->

I saw a post once (probably on reddit) asking what people thought was the biggest scam in fitness. Someone replied "jump ropes" and that has stuck with me. Because you literally don't need them to do what you do with them! Every time I see someone use one (IRL, movies, etc) I remember that post...

Dear Northerners, You can have it back now. It was neat and all, but we don't want it anymore. Love, Southerners.

There is snow in Florida! Its been so long and the cold hurts, but we have snow here!

I've never really griped about touchscreens on things. (Except cars. That shit should be banned outright. Tactile controls ONLY!) But a lot of these... "Designers" think touchscreens automatically work like they do in Star Trek. Just stop already! They don't and you're bad for thinking they do!

I'm curious about people's YouTube favorites. I will almost always skip through ad reads because, well, I hate ad segments. But there are a few creators that I will actually watch the ads for. Like, they turn the ad reads into funny sketches that are actually entertaining. Anyone else?

I just saw a crash at an intersection i was sitting at... And my dash camera was off. ;_;

I've been having trouble sleeping the past couple nights, so I skipped taking my pill this morning. Going to see if that resets that problem. If so, then I'll need to try something else. I can tell the difference. Everything feels normal now and I'm getting distracted again. Especially by my phone.

So the (late) mid-day report. I don't feel I've been "focusing" better exactly, but I am able to block out distractions easier. (I wasn't spending hours doomscrolling on my phone, for instance.) But the drowsiness did prove harsher than I expected and ended up needing to take a nap. -->

So I took my first dose this morning. I'm not expecting massive behavior changes immediately, but the side effects on the bottle seem to be true. Drowsiness? Check. Dizziness? Check. Looked online for the full list. Urinary problems? Well, that might explain why I feel like I need to go but don't.

Does anyone have any experience with atomoxetine? I asked my doctor on my last visit if he could recommend someone to see about my short attention span and general lack of focus. He said he could prescribe me something himself and that's what he gave me.

The local news was on this morning as I was heading out the door. They were talking about that big winter storm that's heading south. Then they showed the week forecast and I said, "Oh, that's not so bad! Looks like it's only going to hit the panhandle." My sister says, "Are you blind??" -->

Just noticed my phone has had wifi off... No idea how long its been off. Remember the days before unlimited data when that would throw you into a panic? Hahahaha! ... What do you mean I don't have that?

Little follow-up to my recent cardiologist visit. They sent me a bill for $2500... That was a neat-o surprise. Gonna find out what the story is with that.

My boss had the AUDACITY to remind me that today is only Thursday.

I went to the cardiologist today. Turns out, I DO have a heart! Oh, and everything is fine. The chest pains i feel randomly are likely nerve related, not heart.

So dad is fine. Though he did wake up confused several times last night.
