I am somehow 50 years old today

Booked my car in for a service and ended up talking (if that is the right word) to a robot. What was most weird was that it had fake typing noises when it was waiting to respond. It worked quite well, I must say.

My dad is poorly. I am 4000 miles away, it really doesn't do much for my nerves.

A very merry Christmas to all my fedi friends, wherever you are. 🥂

"Damn, it's 1:20pm" Says my son from the back seat. "We don't have anywhere to be." I reply. "I am in a hurry for Christmas". 🎄

The rare times I use a Windows machine it astounds that it serves me advertisements via the notification system. Just incredible.

I liked the texture of the painted brick on this wall in Steubenville, OH. #Photography

I have been in the US 12 years today.

My son pronounced Bosnia as 'Bonzaneer' and now that's what I call it.

Ordered a desktop managed switch to replace my little Netgear that died and now my advertising recs seem to suggest this is a new and exciting start of a collection

Worst my wipers started making a noise about like Yoda as the snow apparently had glue in it

1" of snow in about an hour, which isn't a lot but the whiteout conditions were not fun.

Perusing some traffic logs and holy heck do a lot people use Spotify at work. It's very noisy.
