“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

So ... The apparent US position is that ICE can grab any random person off the street they want, claim they're an enemy combatant, and ship them to an overseas concentration camps, and then they say there's literally nothing the courts can do about it.

Trying to rip my Parks & Recreation box set as the family wants to play it without digging up the DVDs, but the copy protection (?) is doing weird things to the Title numbers on season three--what I see with the disc in #VLC is different than what #HandBrake sees. Would love to figure this out […]

Today I balanced two months of the joint account checkbook (having beaten my personal accounts and credit cards into shape already), cleaned the espresso maker, hit my step count, wrote a bit more than my bare minimum, and fixed a Python script bug that’s been bugging me literally for years.

John Cale's Sabotage/Live seems to be unavailable on streaming. Had to play my daughter a few tracks from my own mp3 rip of what must have been the 1999 CD re-release. Would kill for a Record Store Day re-release on vinyl.

Netflix is like the proverbial boil-the-frog experiment (yes, I know, don’t @ me) except they’re turning the “price” dial one way and the “quality” dial the other.

The problem with needing mumbletymumblety hours of sleep is that even without a job I'm only catching up on my to-dos a little at a time. Today I picked up my newly-hemmed pants; changed the co2 cartridge in the water carbinator; got new batteries in the daughter's watches (and a new strap too) […]

Need a punchline for the joke “What’s the difference between a network state and a company town?” Best I’ve got so far is “delusions of grandeur,” but that’s not particularly funny or unexpected. Back to the drawing board!

Welcome to Dad Questions! Today we’ll be asking people “Is there any place in the kitchen you don’t just leave your trash for someone else to clean up?” and “Why is it my job to go around the house behind you turning off the lights?”

My Bell & Howell "BionicGrow" LED plant light has died. I'd hoped it was the power brick, but no such luck. Some chance it's the cable, though I don't have another I can test against. Anyone have recommendations for LED plant lights with timers? Clip-ons ideal for this application but stands okay.

My local butcher shop sold me smoked brisket boudin sausages this week. Now, boudin is a pork sausage with rice, veggies, and creole spices. With hunks of smoked brisket in it, absolutely mind-blowing.

Trying Episode 2 of Bodkin. Is the obsession with true crime podcasts really so deep that there’s an endless appetite for fictional dramas about podcasts about fictional crimes? Intermittently engaging, more so than the first episode, but wondering if the barrel has a bottom.
