Our patio is done. Hoping to start the outdoor kitchen build this weekend. In the meantime, some smoked chicken shawarma.

Received an unsolicited LinkedIn message "we think you'd be a great fit" on 6/20 (for a middle school math position... which i've never taught). Whatever. Ignored. Followed by an actual email on 6/23. "Circling back" email on 6/25. There's a fine line between being wanted and feeling stalked.

1. WTF is a "wearable?" 2. Remember 50% of the public's reaction when the gov't suggested they wear something in the name public health? I dunno, like a small piece of fabric over their mouth... 3. Ask any teacher, tech isn't the solution. When used right it can help, along with.. you know, vaccines

"Trump announces end of Iran war" "Tehran official denies ceasefire" Global politics has devolved into a parent trying to sort out the "he said, she said" quarrels of their elementary school children. Just the kids have their shit together and the adults are inept

I just received an email- thanks for your application, we're no longer looking to fulfill this position. I haven't applied for a job in a while & I have no recollection of ever applying to this company. So I dug into... apparently I applied for this job 10 (TEN!!) months ago.

Maybe if ICE was not acting like the gestapo. Like presenting badge numbers, warrants, driving cars with federal license plates, not kidnapping people... people would treat them better. I hate to say it, but it's only a matter of time until one of them gets shot by somebody standing their ground

There were 8 NBA Eastern Conference teams that made the playoffs (not including play-in). 6 of those teams have a #0 on their roster. 3 of those #0 's tore their achilles during the playoff Lillard, Tatum and now Haliburton.

Just to help those who are about to Google it.... Strait of Hormuz Body is water that provides the only sea passage from the Persian Gulf to the open ocean. Approximately a third of the world's liquefied natural gas & 20-25% of total global oil consumption pass through the strait.

We have an old shitty digital scale. When it first turns on, half the time the first weigh is 2.2lbs heavy, half the time it's fine. The issue is I never know if I should reweigh for fear if it will just confirm that extra 2lbs and the fact that Im getting older and more out of shape, aka fatter.
