Any folks familiar with Utah have recommendations for things to do between Salt Lake City and Moab? There's a hot springs hike I'm eying, but open to other suggestions. Kid friendly not required. Mama is on a solo trip.

every game i've worked on has at least one file that is just, simply, cursed it crashes when you try and open it, you can't edit it, but it DOES run and it doesn't break the game so you're left with the choice - try to rebuild it and get a version that works or put a 'DO NOT ENTER' sign on it

We put on the new Guy Ritchie movie without looking at reviews first and now I have found it has only half the fresh tomatoes of his last movie, which I did not think was good at all. But we are sticking with it.

The joy of being on VPN is sometimes I'll randomly be in another country and connect to their local version of a given business, which is how I discovered there's Dominos in Sweden. Who knew, I assumed Sweden would be too classy for Dominos.

They wanted to pass this evil budget to take away healthcare from millions earlier today. It’s still stuck in the rules committee cause House Dems introduced over 500 amendments and we are lined up to debate on them. Delaying is important. Keep up the pressure on these Congressional Republicans.
