Gotta have a music video too #ChatGPT prompt: “Describe in detail what the scenes in the music video would like like”
Trader Joe’s is usually good at curating but this time we were hit with the paradox of choice… apriums or plumcots. Is it better to be apricot first or plum first? We couldn’t decide so bought both…

Having a child makes you get into the details of what you’ve never had to think about - like the difference between jaguars, leopards, and cheetahs
This TEST TEST TEST confirmation page doesn't inspire confidence that I'll get a response for help from @WAStateDOR
This is an oddly specific accomplishment to put on a package of noodles
It’s useful to know how software is built - couldn’t get the timer on my Twinkly Christmas lights to work, then decided to try UTC time zone instead and yep it worked as expected.

Deceptive ads like this are unethical and should be banned. My mom thought ad on YouTube was a real notification and started deleting photos, and tried to click the “Clean” button only to be taken to a confusing app install page.

I wrote a blog post that details Saturday's finding of "cryptic transmission" of #SARSCoV2 in Washington State. Genomic evidence suggests that #COVID19 has been circulating here since Jan 15, but undetected due to lack of testing. bedford.io/blog/ncov-cryptic…

A sign of a great product is when you’re excited to do a chore just to use it. I held out on getting a Dyson cordless vacuum for a while, not understanding why I needed it. Now that I have one, I’m vacuuming more than ever before. Because it’s so easy and satisfying. – at Seattle, WA

Home Depot manipulates online price depending on whether item is in stock in your default store. Deceptive since this isn't what customers expect. When I switched from Bitter Lake to Lander, the price dropped from $33.73 to $25.97. Your store shouldn't matter for delivery orders.
