Programming is far more difficult and involved than typing, obviously. It has its own timeline, iteration. But some timelines that are quite complicated, often involve no typing, simply don't exist until something's written down.

Software engineering is "programming over time." (Says the flamingo book.)

This is pretty similar to what I used to say: programming is "type something" (sounds easy enough), software engineering is "deal with the existence of what was typed" (it depends, but this can be a lot harder than typing.)

Broke:

- toilet seat
- can opener
- canning jar

all within hours yesterday. I'm still incredulous about the toilet seat - that's top of the list for "things you didn't expect to have to replace that often as a homeowner." #dadops

(I don't remote-install a lot of games, I assume that doesn't happen immediately in this mode? As long as they install by next session that's fine, I usually forget until I see the notification they're installed anyway. And game updates end up late? Anything else to be aware of? I'm sorta a miser with electricity.)

Doesn't seem like the sleep/quick resume option on Xbox Series X serves much purpose - it boots from full shutdown faster than I remember a PS1 booting.

I grew up in rural Idaho. Driving >20 minutes is too far. That's a line between home & town. Driving >20 minutes in the city? Pfft, that's silly - you're already in town, who designed this town to not be town.

Now, at least on the bus, at the stop, you can smartphone it up - I'll allow >20 for that.

This one server doesn't allow "ass" without hyphen. Still, pretty much all the talk is derriere talk, some intense derriere talk even. #nobutts.zocial

Some days you pull up vi in the VS Code terminal because you need to edit the file you're looking at, but you were in the terminal, and you're broken like that.

Our kids, when younger, said "toots" to mean "farts", so forgive me when I snicker, and by "snicker" I do not mean "poop", but now that I say it, double snicker.

Getting to the point in the project where cross-project modules are coming up. Not that they didn't come up before, but now it's Very Important Or Is It. The awkward teenage years.

I suspect temperature in the garage matters a bit. Our garage isn't insulated, and aside from not dropping below 40F or so even if it's freezing outside, it's not a great ripening environment - 65-75F is better. A box of branches is more house-friendly.

The "hang your tomato plants upside down in the garage to ripen after the weather's turned cold" trick is a continuum of #gardening techniques rather than one way to do it.

- you don't need the whole plant (a branch is fine)
- you definitely don't need roots (sheesh)
- it doesn't need to hang, a box is fine (although circulation and keeping the tomatoes from resting on their base is probably a good idea.)

Oh remember that one that let you send only "yo"?

Woof. Wooly mammoth site is rough. Remember, was it app.net, the Twitter clone with subscriptions and, apps? I'm still in another thing that sends me email every once in a while, Allo is it? What was that one with the pink-red icon, iOS only at first? The one with the bee where you checked into places? All not as rough as this.

Pasting what's on my mind (like it says in the directions)
