Two weeks without a cigarette. (It was a Wednesday, right?) Using #Veronica to quit smoking probably wasn't the greatest idea I've ever had, but steroids, and ugh. I was out of my mind. Anywho. I guess I should change my profile photo. Hey at least it is still a thousand degrees outside, right?

Also I think every time one of anyone on TV says "totally obliterated" the feed should cut to a clip of Emilio at Shermer High saying "totally..."

How are people mowing right now? I don't care if the HOA fines me a thousand dollars -- I ain't mowin' when it's no goddamn 102°M outside! (A. Yard isn't too long. B. HOA wouldn't fine me if it was -- it's still Urbana. C. °M is me making fun of my country. You know, 'Murica. )

Happy Tuesday!

So I'm curious tonight about the evolution of technology and why or how, philosophically, it even happens. And it goes back to my question of "what does 'smart' mean?" People think I'm smart. Oh really? What "people?" When I was a kid I was "smart" because I did better at math. Math! 1/

Wait, was that just an @aarp commercial with TFG giving a thumbs up? Oof. I mean I'm only 55 and have 8-ish years to go, but no thanks...

Friday is 1 year since I moved to Dallas. And she didn't come to court and my daughter had to wake her up -- jeeeesus. Anyway. Kinda want to go to Happy Hour. Bad idea, but at this point. Maybe I'll take the bus to Bunny's after work and Uber home after. I'm bored. And lonely. Just for people.

If you told me that someone acquired a WWII German Uboat and snuck it through the Great Lakes and rolled it across LSD my reply would be "bullshit -- I want to see it." Get my drift? There's no Ark. It's buried here, it's buried there.... It's not buried anywhere. I don't know.

I'm watching some show involving religious history. I'm curious where or if a line is drawn academically. Ark of the Covenant. That thing that was built to hold some rock carvings? Given by a diety? Ugh. No diety. No Moses. No tablets. No Ark. It's silliness. We study actual history too, no?

I mean I could put the refrigerated stick of butter in the microwave. Or just increase the surface area a bunch, and wait a few minutes. #physics

Made it through 6/8 hot dog buns. Technically the last two are still in the fridge, but probably, no. Also am making "french bread" with the last 2 of 4 "rolls" that I got at the Schmucks the other day. This is going to sound stupid, but learning to make food for ONE PERSON has been tough. #divorce

LOL glad it isn't just us. Also ECE stores closed for inventory until July. Womp womp.

Different types of alcohol definitely have different effects. (I'm doing science... not really.... #Veronica). Rum and Vodka don't make me want to hurt people. Bourbon. Damn. ~10 days without a cigarette. My idiocy is the most idiotic idiocy. But hang on. We'll navigate this. Gimme a sec...

My thermostat is set at 74°M. And I'm still putting extra electrons out to the grid. Hell yeah... #solar

Also, why are we still making Jurassic anything movies? It was a neat idea. For ONE movie. I mean I guess it's all about the Hamiltons, but still.

Watching old episodes of "American Greed." My cynicism has made me feel less and less bad for the "victims" in a lot of these schemes. Sure, the bad guys are being "greedy" but at the end of the day, if the victims weren't being a bit greedy as well, they wouldn't end up in those situations.

I was just a few characters too long on my last post and when I looked for an obvious shortening method (I usually do "and" --> "&" as a first step), I was delighted to be able to use a semicolon. And by "use a semicolon" I obviously mean "use a semicolon correctly." Saved me three letters. ;)

You know, I'm one of those people that would love to see a ballgame at every MLB venue. I mean, within reason. I'm not going to be stupid about it. Go to the obvious ones. My ex-wife hates baseball; I had always just resigned myself to basically never seeing baseball again. Now? Quest unlocked!

Holy shit. My White Sox won a game today. I don't think that's their correct account. Yeah, I bet they don't have a BlueSky one. Nobody at the Cell knows how to use a computer anyway. :D

So I'm watching baseball (Yankees versus Baltimore -- it's an out away from Orioles winning 5-3). And I want to stand outside & look at the sky & listen to the interstate & the white noise and all that, but I don't have anything to smoke. So like why go out there? (GO OUTSIDE, MIKE....) Ballgame...

So I consider myself a lover, but not expert, of baseball. Just love the game. But no, I don't know who has the lowest ERA with RISP in extra innings during the early 1980s. I learned something yesterday, though. Like, new to me, not new to the world. Short story: check-swing, guy goes around... 1/2

I've been walking around today bothering my dog and saying "two... weeks...." out of the blue. She doesn't get it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v-3...

Also, now they're talking about how Congress has to declare war AS IF the fucking orange turd gives a shit what the Constitution of our country has to say about anything. #8647 #FDT #NoKings

Also, watching the news on @cnn.com this morning. War is so stupid. One country bombs the shit out of another country. Other country retaliates and blows up a hospital. "THEY CROSSED A LINE!" I mean, you did bomb them first. And how many hospitals in Gaza have been leveled? Color me non-sympathetic.

Word of the day: "Bunker Buster." (I know that's two words, but this is Trump's America, where we can have two words instead of one word. Many words. Many, many words. Many powerful words. The most powerful.)

Quitting smoking isn't like I want a cigarette, it's like I feel like I should be having a cigarette. Is that dumb?

Wait, we're halfway through extracting files and skipping straight to post-install tasks? I'm no Pete Hegseth, but I'm still pretty sure that ain't right... 🤣
