Happy “Don’t Bother Using the Internet Today” Day!

Alex Jones refuses to comply with a court order to show up for a deposition and gets a fine. It’s possible one of the reasons there’s so much crime right now is because breaking the law doesn’t actually appear to be illegal, at least not in any meaningful way.

I wrote a pluck() and finally memorized Array.reduce() in the process. 🧑🏻‍💻

March 28th, it’s snowing and cold. After a meeting that ran three and a half hours long, I went for a walk to unwind. I headed toward the coffee shop…

Heading out into the cold to try the Olympus XA.

Does the trick where you make mayonnaise by throwing all the ingredients into a jar and mixing them with an immersion blender really work? If so, I’m making burgers and fries for dinner. If not, I’m making an awful mess and ordering a pizza.

The headline reads, “Oil at highest price in 8 years.” If they couldn’t claim 8, they would say “Oil at highest price in 7 years” or “…highest price in 6 years” or 4 years, or this year, and so on, right up until they got stuck at “Oil at highest price since breakfast.”
