Got replacement batteries for the kids’ watches. I’ve been considering getting a watch repair kit off Aliexpress so cheap battery watches wouldn’t be such a hassle. I think I might get one now.
The last thing you want to do is bend your shim tool or use something like a screwdriver or razor blade and have it shoot out into your finger. Then be in that situation where you’re like, “It looks deep but it’s not bleeding, and it didn’t hurt too much.” Then the blood starts coming out and doesn’t stop.

I didn’t expect it to fix all our cleaning problems but it makes thing so much easier. It feels great to walk out of the bedroom after the kids go to sleep and the floor is clean.
And I was telling one of my kids how we still have to clean up before the vacuum cleaner runs so it doesn’t eat something that makes it sick

Pretty impressed with the robot vacuum cleaner. It was making some noises I didn’t like so I flipped it over and took out a Q-tip and an elastic band in the brush head. It was still making sounds so I opened it up and found a little 3D printed articulated dog and a whole clothespeg lodged in there. These things can put away some junk

Took the kids to swimming then a pretty perfect trifecta after. In the industrial area where my work is a new playcentre opened in one if those identical warehouse blocks. The block up from that had a trading card place for the girlfriend to look at. And the block up from that has a cannoli and panini place we went to for lunch instead of shitty placecentre food.
Then we cam home and watched Ghostbusters, the kids’ latest obsession

I just remembered, Gaerea isn’t the technical 3 guitar band. That’s Unprocessed. Gaerea is the all black wearing black metal band. I wonder what crowd crossover there will be of the Deafheaven show last night and tonight

A nice ride to lunch with the family on an unofficial day off. I haven’t been riding as much recently so it’s always nice to get on there when I can

Is she going to the metal band Gaerea? I’d like to go but probably won’t make it. Ask her how they are for me

Look up 762 Media if you want some good long form train content. They do documentaries on trains and train lines around here. And with their view counts they’re in it for the love of the game

Gaerea are playing tonight as well if you want some 3 guitar technicality

I just picked up Le Fay by Sophie Keetch and it’s written in an old timey style without being overly pompous or purple. Immediately I was just like, ‘hey, I could fuck with this.’ As long as it doesn’t get too slow I think I could read this one.

Is the Testra stuff still happening? I’ve been having trouble with Microsoft login verifiations all day

It’s oddly satisfying logging into your bank account on a linux computer using firefox and having the notification say “Someone has tried to login to your account on Chrome on Windows 10. Was this you?”
Sure it was. At least it means the spoofing extensions are working

What boring options. It’s essentially the same woman 3 times over. It’s meant to be a spectrum of people with a theme

Oh yeah, I know most of the outrage over this is manufactured. It would be ironic the people most upset by it are those who hate women the most, if it wasn’t such a consistent pattern

I refuse to watch it because I don’t consume that kind of slop anyway, but did she give him 3 options? Usually when you do FMK you pick 3 people and have to choose a role for each. From the little I’ve read she just asked FMK of anyone with no qualifiers. That’s being a bad interviewer if you ask me

I remembered hearing stuff a while ago about her hitting 50. I knew it wasn’t recent but I hadn’t heard any updates since, and she still looks amazing now anyway

Been thinking about the whole Albo FMK situation. Kylie is a 50 year old woman, it would be weirder if he picked anyone younger. And it’s quite refreshing knowing he likes a woman closer to his age given the tastes of other world leaders

Got accepted to buy a new Steam Controller. I think I’ll do it and see how it compares to its older brother, which I really like but never got into using as much as I should have

Late night last night but I was cooking on an edit of the footage I got from the basketball game. I’m really proud of how it has turned out

More teams frustrations, this time as an outsider at Coffee Work. Need to login, then login again, then Teams asks you to login. Now you’ve lost access to everything for no reason

Sometimes places can pick up on those. TBH, those same places could probably pick up on the TAB key being pressed down for hours at a time as well.

You can easily keep that dot green forever with a clip-on guitar tuner on the TAB key of your work laptop

What is the point of Teams?
I realised I left my thermos of coffee at work, so I messaged someone saying they can have it because it will go bad otherwise. Get in today and realise the message wasn’t sent. This shitty program can’t do the most basic thing for the most important of messages

That sucks to hear. I hope you can take some time off for yourself soon to recharge

It’s obvious when a profile has a pixelated cover image of the person because they’ve obviously pulled two of someone’s profile photos. But when the profile says they’re a 65 year old woman and their profile photo is some flowers, it’s harder to tell because 65 year old women actually do that

I think my immune system is on the fritz a bit from dealing with two sick kids. I hope that’s as far as it goes

It’s fast and just as fun to watch as any other sport. People may discount it because the players are in wheelchairs but they’re playing to win just like anyone

Coffee Work supports a wheelchair basketball team. They have a game in Thornbury I’m going to this afternoon. It’s pretty cool they support that
