Don't try to blame the wifi. I'm CAT5 and one hub away from the router, so this is your fault.

I don't know how people are complaining about Civilization 7. I haven't gotten enough hours of sleep since I installed it. Or since I installed Steam, which installed it, or something.

My sister ran a 5k in Vegas. A 5k! In Vegas! - I’ve been saying that I was going to start getting back in shape by, among other things, training for and running a 5K. And, I love Vegas more than the rest of my family combined. So, anyway, I started working out AGAIN. Motivation, baby!

Alright, fine. You can show me recipes, but absolutely NO recipe videos without a text copy of the recipe. I'm not sitting there with a notepad taking notes on your damn YouTube vid.

I guess the other reason I have to switch social media platforms is I'm not going have yet another subscription for something I don't really need, but Twitter will forever block/downplay my stuff if I don't pay.

I just clicked an ad for "Original Fat Ivan Fold-up..." because I needed to know fold-up what. It's a door stop/wedge thing. Anyway, here's an affiliate link that I get pennies for --assuming it doesn't get hijacked-- if you have same urge. amzn.to/40WP4rs

I have three different Capital One Venture cards because credit scores are dumb.

So, at random, late one night, I subscribed to Bon Appetit via some discount email/website. I know better, and would normally never, but... Turns out it's legit. And, double-secret bonus, BA gives you a free account with Epicurious which is just filled with recipes.

I miss encyclopedias.

I knew that crypto would have a reckoning where it would have to drop back down where it was before Trump got elected and do the work before actually earning the Bitcoin $100,000, but my timing was off and I tried to slip in one more $MARA from $17 to $22+.

Dammit, Bing. If you want to be a proper search engine, when I try "open in new tab" the pictures on these recipes that you returned as search results, I want the page with the recipe, not an empty tab with the picture in it.

Yaaghh! February 28th is the last day of the month. I mean, I knew that if you asked, but I didn't realize that everything due EOM is due today! And some companies are going to be wanting their money tomorrow and not next Monday. The little things can sneak up on you like that.

Tennis season is fast approaching, and I am slow at developing the fast movement that I was going to build up this winter.

If your employer self insured, share this with your management. Your CEO doesn't realize they are getting ripped off on their pharmacy benefits. Here is how www.nasdaq.com/articles/elo...

Stupid $NVDA. Now I have to feel slightly bad when I go dump a bunch money on a new computer.

I don't care about authentic. I want the green chile that comes on the breakfast burritos from the UC Health hospital cafeterias. At least Highlands Ranch one.

My son informs me that there is a place called Restaurant Depot, and it is a big retail building with a sign that says it is open to the public. Does anyone know if they have restaurant ranch dressing? And I'll get restaurant green chile while we're at it.

Restaraunt ranch dressing is different, and don't tell me it isn't. I don't if the handle on the salad bar says Kraft. How do I buy restaurant ranch dressing? I'm willing to figure out how to use 10lb cans, or whatever.

Holy shit. "Castration-resistant cancer" Yikes.

Settle down, autolink generator thing. I just missed the space after the period. That's not a domain name.

Look, do you want me to login or do you want me to update now? I can't do both at the same time.

How hard is it to just have your video doorbell/camera use your wifi to connect to a computer or something and record your video there? A subscription for your doorbell is stupid.

If you live in Colorado, you're getting a Tabor refund. There are no separate checks that just show up in your mailbox this time. You have to put a little effort into it and claim it on your 2024 Colorado State income taxes. It's based on income this time as well.

Denver Restaraunt Week, baby! OK, so it's not as awesome as it once was, but it's still wicked fun, and a great way to look at a bunch of menus at once. You get a special priced meal that most places make it a pretty good deal. denverrestaurantweek.com/explore-menus/

This market is just DYING to have some downward action, so I'm not too surprised to see this, this morning.

10 inches of snow seems light based on my sidewalk, but either way, 50 degrees tomorrow, 60 degrees the day after that, and they cancelled school. Snow was still falling this am, and you get 24 hours from last snowfall, so I AIN'T SHOVELING NOTHING! - Thanks Colorado.

Now... to remember which email address I gave my parents. More specifically, to figure out which email address my parents have saved in their contacts and have never, ever updated.

The harder you make it to find cPanel, the more likely I am to leave your hosting service.

It's not like it's a big deal, but our charger must think we are in a different time zone because it's always off an hour when it says things like charging complete. Not sure where to change it either. #EV

I think it would make more sense to insulate under the heating ducts in an unfinished basement than between the pipes and the floor boards.

I don't use Google search anymore because they are everything that is wrong with the internet, but I really like saying, "To the google!" and "To the bing," or "To the duckduckgo," just don't his the same. So, when I say, "to the google," know that I mean some other search.

So, I was all cool with online documentation and stuff, but then I got this Kindle thing sorted, and now, I'd really prefer it if you all would make your documentation into books. Thanks.

Sorry, water company. You have to keep mailing me a paper statement because everyone loves using the water bill as proof of address, so you sent me the statement and I'll put it in a file and the autopay will be with you in a moment.

Are you fucking serious?

You know what I need for recipe filters? I need "not pasta". I make so much pasta.

Cool. In other news, Flickr is still a thing.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Olivia Rodrigo I love you but you have got to... you know what? Never mind. I love you.

Alright. So... I'm going to handle this. I'm sure it will be fine, but I really kind of like the Apt. song. *cringes in GenX*

Holy flurking snit! Is this really what concert tickets cost now?! - I mean, it's been awhile since I've gone to a concert, but jeebus!

I used to search for something simple and see the search results and think, "No way. I'm not giving you a click for information I should be able to get in 30 seconds." Now, I'm like clicking whenever I get the chance. I know it's hard out here for a website.

Hey, look a new button. Apparently, I have a Publer affiliate link. Who knew? They had some verbage that goes here, but basically, I use it to schedule posts across the expanding universe of social media platforms. publer.com/ArcticLlama
