There really is a XKCD for everything.

I am careening towards the elderly part faster than I would like. But maybe we got along so well because of some autistic synergy.

I knew him quite well. He is very autistic and just as equally nice.

I once had an autistic, elderly man living above my room. Whenever I sneezed, I would hear “gesundheit” from the ceiling.

“The aristocrats!”

I have been trying to record video of aurora for a while and every shot has at least three obvious satellites and it is driving me nuts.

I just noticed this on our calendar and had to wonder if the boss of the calendar company made them put this here.

Edit: Wikipedia says it is real:

Boss’s Day (also written Bosses Day or Boss’ Day) is generally observed on October 16 in the United States. It has been pitched as a day for employees to thank their bosses for being kind and fair throughout the year.

Samosas with spanakopita filling. I call them spanakomosas.

All you can eat sushi. It doesn’t need to be great, just all I can eat.

Also, unmarked crosswalks are perfectly safe because drivers know pretty much every intersection has an implied crosswalk whether marked or not. This comment has been brought to you by the letter S and viewers like you.

I did. It’s not bad. It was on TV a while ago and I sat through the whole thing. I just never feel like it needs revisiting. Judgement Day is such an improvement in every way. Can I say one and a half good Terminators?

We don’t. We got two good movies from the franchise, which is about all I can hope for. We got two good Star Wars’. We got two good Blade Runners. We even got two good Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’. We got only one good Terminator but that was the second one so persistence can produce results, I guess. I’m not against anyone trying again, but my expectations for a new enjoyable Alien are admittedly rather low.

Yeah, the last time they charged was Snow Leopard in 2009. Everything has all been free since. Snow Leopard was really a dream to use, though. If paying $30 would get us back to that kind of luxury, I would gladly pay for the privilege.

I worked at a shelter and one night an indigenous man had a heart attack. An elder came in later that day, lit some sage and smudged the place. At one point she stopped, and ushered something unseen out the back door.

The guy wasn’t dead. He was stabilized at the hospital. He returned to the shelter that night.

I generally enjoy and appreciate these rituals for bringing the community together and collectively processing grief and reminding us we are all important to each other. I am even giving her the benefit that she maybe performed this extra bit only to bring peace to those experiencing loss. But, oof. I needed a post-cringe shower after that.

People living in the US but using an Apple account set to another country. Because you can only switch it once a year or something inconvenient like that. Whatever the circumstances may be, there is seemingly no good reason to restrict the app to US accounts only.

Because ICE targets people not from the US?

Was this ever even available to non-US accounts? Was there ever an explanation for why it was georestricted?

Oh, I know. And at least some emulators let you use the mouse as a faux light gun so all is not lost.
