One of the cast is a rather loud and obnoxious person who constantly needs to be right and push his opinions […]

Aug. 24th, 2025 10:00 amnotalwaysright_feedWhen my sister was around seven, her class was assigned to make up recipes for a class cookbook that would be sent out to all the parents. When the cookbook comes out, it’s clear which students had come up with their own recipes, for better or for worse, and which students had gotten parental assistance. […]

I was reviewing an article (back before [Plagiarism Checker Site] existed) when I […]

Aug. 24th, 2025 08:00 amnotalwaysright_feedOur government now started sending out pretty much anything “official” with relevant digital signatures. That’s basically a box at the bottom of the document, added by the signing entity, that can be used to verify the validity of the document. Sure, most people don’t verify it, but at least you can easily do so now, […]

A. My mom is an epic stress demon -- this deserves its own post but teal dear (or I guess TL;DW since it's not written up yet) early stages of dementia plus physical complications plus denial plus verbal aggression ... on top of the normal "treating me like I'm a teenager" and "calling multiple times a day" -- and I'm kind of boiling alive because stress and uncertainty
B. Speaking of boiling, today was the third day over 100F. Even with air conditioning and fans and cooling towels, it's way too hot
C. I have no sense of time any more. Everything is somehow too fast and too slow.
D. My brain is perpetually convinced I'm forgetting shit. Occasionally I actually am. But I'm basically living in perpetual anxiety.
E. Also I'm training new aides, which always sucks even when they're good
F. Phoebe is still cute af. So is Loki. The two of them are the only things keeping me halfway sane. If I can remember tomorrow I'll upload pictures.

Coworker: "Sir, I see this letter was not sent in error. You have not paid your rent for two months now. We did try to deduct it, per your contract, but both deductions failed. This was a final notice after sending you three more letters, and since you did not respond, it was sent to a collection agency. I've taken the liberty of writing down the number for you."

Skin on fingers and toes wrinkle in water not because cells get saturated but as an autonomic nervous system function, which we have apparently known since at least 1935. An initial 2013 study found that people with wrinkled fingertips could pick up and move more wet marbles in a set time frame than people with dry skin; a 2014 study failed to replicate this, but there's more at the BBC including a 2020 replication. (The 2013 reference at least is buried in the BBC article.)
Holding a hot drink inclines us to view people as "emotionally warmer"; a heavier clipboard inclines us to believe the person whose CV it's displaying takes their work more seriously. Many other related fun facts over here.

Passenger: "I’ll have the pasta option."
Me: "I’m so sorry, sir, but due to popular demand, we’ve run out of the pasta option in this section of the cabin. I can offer you the chicken option instead, if you’d like."
Passenger: "I’m a vegetarian. Last time, they brought me a meal from business class, so I’ll just wait for that."
