You know what's bothering me for no reason?
Up until 1080p, we referred to video resolutions by their VERTICAL RESOLUTION
426x240 = "240p"
854x480 = "480p"
1280x720 = "720p"
1920x1080 = "1080p"
But then above that, we started using HORIZONTAL resolution, but rounded
7680x4230 = "8K"
3840x2160 = "4K"
And then for everything in between, we just... threw that out?
2560x1440 = "2K" ?????????
2772x1272 = "1.5K" ????????
Well, this furlough has a silver lining!
I finally updated my python-template-snippets extension for @code. It's at nearly 120k installs! 🤯
If you're a Python dev, check it out. If you already use it, I'd be super grateful for a review!

The teenager bagging groceries today asked if I wanted my bread on top.
I said yes.
He nodded seriously and said, "Good call. Structural integrity is everything."
Then he arranged my bags like he was building a cathedral.
His coworker laughed at him.
But my bread arrived home unpunched, my tomatoes unbrushed.
Sometimes the people who care too much about small things are exactly who we need.

If I knew the government shutdown was going to last this long, I'd have planned to write a new book. Something tells me there's still time before this thing ends 😔
