After all of my MacBook Neo triumphalism, I was afraid I was going to have to take it in for AppleCare service. My trackpad started periodically failing a week ago; the keyboard still worked and the cursor moved, but I couldn’t click anywhere. Restarting the system was the only way to bring it back.

Today, I discovered that my Magic Mouse, which was sitting in the outside pocket of the laptop sleeve in my bag, was turned on the whole time. Turning it off instantly solved the issue. 🤦‍♂️

So tired of blacking out every full moon when I really want to stay up and help the townsfolk hunt for the werewolf

Canadian teens have made a version of Monopoly in a pentagonal shape and called it “American Dictator.” It retails for CD $50 with a proportion of the profits going to a local food bank. One of the spaces is called Supreme Justice. If you land on that you can buy the Justice and over-rule any other player’s move. Game cards are called “Questionable Decisions,” each one being an actual Trump decision. Unfortunately all stock has been sold out.

Just had a coworker ask me what the nob was called on "old timey radios" since I was around when they were still common.

*sigh*

The dial, it was called the dial.

Dipping my toes into the ole’ pool of Vegas nostalgia watching videos of different, but familiar, versions of The Strip. Wish someone would have filmed other areas.
