AI is the new Cybertruck.

We used to have Welcome Centers when you crossed the state line. Now we have fireworks stands.

After July 1st, evaporation will be available only to paid subscribers.

Gravity isn’t real.

Any recommendations for a good RSS feed reader for Linux? I have QuiteRSS which I barely used, but now their website has gone down which is not a good sign.

Getting RSS sorted is on my list of things to do Real Soon Now.

The high temp today is supposed to be 91 degrees F. And the rest of the week right around 90F. I guess I’ll finally put the air conditioning on today. Hopefully it will work.

Once again, it’s Frozen Pizza Friday. But now with an added tossed side salad coz healthy, and I got to use this lettuce stuff up before it goes bad because there are children starving in Europe.

If I were to do a cooking blog it would be about cooking with canned goods and combining canned goods with premade frozen foods. (There’s a lot you can do to doctor up frozen burritos.) In short I don’t think I could call it a recipe blog but more of a bachelors guide to heating stuff up or the fusion of frozen and canned convenience foods.

I don’t know how to do CSS. I don’t want to know how to do CSS. CSS should be as simple as one of those 1990’s MS Wizards, just fill in the blanks and you’re done.

I don’t give a rats ass if you want rounded corners.

I’m forcing myself to eat more tofu and plant based protein. That means I’m doing it under duress.

I suspect that cryptocurrency, blockchain and AI are all snake oils invented by cereal grifters to fleece the rubes.

“Don’t be evil,” until after the IPO.

I’m a cereal mixer. I mix several different breakfast cereals in a bowl to to avoid cereal mono-culture.

True confession.

We don’t need no stinkin AI. Bring back Clippy.

What robots.txt needs is a one line way to ban all SEO bots and a one line way to ban all AI bots/scrapers. (Those that obey robots.txt at least.)

I follow an account on Xtwitter that I really enjoy only I don’t know how long either they or I will be able to stay on XTwitter or even if XTwitter will survive. The thought of losing those posts made me sad. Fortunately, the account @hookland.bsky.social has started syndicating to Blue Sky.

I recommend it, because it helps keep the weird and the imagination on the internet.

Pre-Pandemic, I used to be able to buy hard boiled eggs in a sealed pouch at the grocery store. Somewhere along the line they disappeared from all the different stores I shop at. Is this the ubiquitous supply chain issues three years on, lack of demand or a darker conspiracy like secret egg tunnels? Has anyone else noticed this disappearance?

Wrap a slice of pizza around a cheesesteak to create this decadent mashup.

You’re welcome.

I had heard there is a pickle shortage in the US on the radio. I only remembered that when I looked at a jar of Aldi pickles and saw they were a product of India. So I looked it up: National pickle shortage tied to extreme weather in Mexico | Yahoo News I had no idea. This has apparently not caused any great panic outside of pickle insider circles.

Thankfully, India has stepped up to keep us supplied.

I had Stouffer’s lasagna, which was actually pretty good, and a salad for supper. I don’t really have the energy for cooking and the cleanup anymore so heat and serve is good.

Google’s AI Overviews feature can’t tell the difference between internet jokes and actual facts.

We need to come up with a better term than “content”.
