"essentially unpeaceful, like the cat."

well, i've migrated my tweets to my personal misskey instance. i plan to keep my account here, but largely stop using it.

[chris t @squishdot]

remarkable how much satisfaction i derive from buying an appropriate substitute. (muji unscented, concentrated, 599円/litre.)

[chris t @squishdot]

hmm. it looks like 7-11 discontinued their concentrated laundry detergent. how annoying.

[chris t @squishdot]

well, i think i've hacked the misskey api to respect a 'createdAt' parameter. so much more work than i expected.

[chris t @squishdot]

i'm almost migrated to my misskey instance, but pleroma-bot is. . . much less fit for purpose than expected.

[chris t @squishdot]

it honestly didn't even occur to me that it wouldn't preserve the original tweet's timestamp.

[chris t @squishdot]

i still find all the numbers involved in the kumbh mela unbelievable.

5 years on from santa clara's stay-at-home order, my personal start date for the pandemic.

today is the 1842nd of march 2020.

[chris t @squishdot]

right now i'm leaning toward 'software, but so bad it persists across reboots.' which is really not a thing we used to have.

[chris t @squishdot]

one annoyance of modernity is that it's difficult to tease out whether the problem is software or hardware.

[chris t @squishdot]

@gen_witt the bowl, of course. the handle would have been an entirely more rarefied level of barbarism.

[chris t @squishdot]

sudden realization that i don't have a butter knife. guess i'll use a spoon.

[chris t @squishdot]

finally caught up on ebay feedback through the end of 2024. i wait until after the return window closes, so it takes a while.

"but banks do not actually want an atmosphere of lawlessness."

[chris t @squishdot]

hmm. laptop stopped working again. i took it apart more thoroughly and now it's back, but i am pretty concerned.

[chris t @squishdot]

i bought some bacon, and sure enough, the packaging notes i can eat it as-is. super weird.

[chris t @squishdot]

legend.

i swear this station didn't have platform screen doors last week.

[chris t @squishdot]

well, whatever service was allowing me to tweet from my antediluvian phone has apparently been turned off. oh well.
