I do my own Taxes and I find the entire experience stressful and frustrating.

With my investments and self employment my income looks like a random number generator which is a kind of stress I wasn't planned for.

I keep wanting to upgrade my hardware as if any software I currently write would need it.

I just want a new hardware dopamine hit.

I'm really not used to my computer hardware appreciating in value.

Considering my laptop, a Thinkpad W540, is over 10 years old, I believe we have entered the era of computers lasting a decade.

I watched M3GAN 2.0 today and thought it was a rather enjoyable movie. It got a little campy, and I do think they tried to weave a bit too much into it, but it was interesting to see references to cultural events and subtle and not so subtle nods to past AIs

Months ago I had my 3rd monitor died and I downgraded it to a spare 1600x900 monitor. Cause what geek doesn't have spare monitors?

I picked up a used monitor for $30 and upgraded it back to a 1920x1200 monitor.

I have so much room for activities!

Go to replace my water heater anode rod. It's stuck. Put on cheater pipe. Still stuck. Put on second cheater pipe still stuck.

Impact gun doesn't work.

Sigh....this is going to be a long maintenance item.
