One of my great pet hates in modern software is loading an app you paid for a couple of years back only to find you're now on garbage tier of product because they have gone full SAAS bullshit

This 1976 trucking documentary is great. Has surprising depth, covering the travails of the owner/operator, the Las Vegas Mob and union culture.

This Amouranth Twitch story is awful and I suspect she's not the only one. Everyone's laughing at the chat simps getting mad their eGirlfriend was actually married, but I find the bizarre white-knighting these cases attract every bit as nauseating.

I wanted to see if my doctor could maybe do a call (they did some antibiotics last time I got fever symptoms) and they want me to inform oncology. Do I want this ballache right now? No I do not.

Ran 103F through the night and it finally broke at 5am. Very unpleasant night.

Battling a fever all day. Not covid, nor cowbell.
