A little rusty at this snow thing...


Cleats don’t fail me now!

Went out to shovel 4 inches of snow off the driveway. Made it halfway down the hill before realizing my cleats had rusted out and snapped, and I had to walk carefully as I cleared a path with the Snowcaster and salted the ground behind me. I finished clearing the driveway after the new cleats arrived this morning, because they’ve moved the door work from Friday to Thursday.

Fortunately the sun and wind combined to mostly clear the rest of the driveway, so it went quick, but I had to at least clear off the pavers going around the house, so there’s no risk of ice ruining their day. (ICE won’t ruin their day because all the workers are Americans)

(Z don’t know grawlix, and didn’t use the emoji I included in the prompt, but it still managed to use relevant emoji)

(also, TIL grawlix is the word for pre-emoji cartoon swearing)

Catering to a certain audience

You know who you are:

I’m The Beautiful But Evil Space Princess Who Rules A Galactic Empire But Really Wants To Leave People Ruthlessly Alone!

AT&T knows their audience, too

Their fiber Internet service is now ready for installs, so they sent a pair of pretty girls around the neighborhood to make the offer. Unfortunately, I’d just finished clearing the snow and ice for tomorrow, so I had no energy for them, and was much more interested in a hot shower.

Which I’d have gotten arrested for inviting them to join. Maybe they were 18.

Dear Apple,

Take advantage of the departure of your “UI Design Chief” by releasing OS updates that revert Liquid Ass and Make Text Readable Again.

Spoiler alert

As expected, the “revised edition” of Freelancers of Neptune does not improve the story in any way. I’d much rather see Jacob Holo work on book 2, and the nicest thing I can say about this book is that he clearly didn’t spend much time on it, letting the co-author airdrop in her tab-a-into-slot-b erotica. I didn’t expect to finish it, and I did not, in fact, finish it.

Speaking of cheesy porn…

Does it count if you lose your virginity to an android? is next season’s lesbian-slave-waifu show. Sadly, the trailer shows that even women in their late twenties can freak out like a teenage anime boy when confronted with a nekkid chick in her bed. From the studio that brought us Yandere Dark Elf and Chuhai Lips, which is not the flex they might think it is.

Every dog eventually gets his Waymo

or vice-versa.

(although I’m reminded of the story about the Texas researcher who was testing how people responded to animals on the road, and when he put out a realistic snake, the first person to drive by was a state trooper who not only swerved to hit the snake, but backed up over it again, then got out of his car and drew his sidearm to put a bullet in it)
