You wonder if these folks bought a pallet of stuff, they are extreme couponers, these are "falling off the back of a truck", someone has a shoplifting habit and has to bleed off the stuff they don't need, or they're actually buying these at wholesale prices and thinking they can make a profit 🤔 #random #garagesales

#3goodthings All's well. Follow-up post-surgery appointment went well. I can now begin increasing my mobility and light lifting using common sense. Guess that means I'll be mowing the lawn next week. Opted for a movie afternoon & evening. First-time watch of Cocaine Bear and M3GAN. Yes, I opted for the absurd (they're so much fun). Warm bread & butter with a bowl of chili. #movies #random

#Random observation. Having just started listening to LPs, there's definitely a single task/mindfulness aspect to the whole affair. Or can be. i.e. put on a record (not doing anything else); look at the cover, read the liner notes (there are many!), read the lyrics. Tactile feedback in holding a record album, and also the scent of cardboard, dust, ozone off the stereo system. (contrast with most digital music... bring up the track, listen to it on the phone or computer while surfing the internet/etc. etc. -- you're only engaging your ears, and through the interfaces you are used to). Anyway, wonder if that is part of the appeal to this medium for some. (note that CDs do not provide the same full experience, i.e. missing the large album and liner notes). Yeah, it's not a superior audio medium in terms of quality or accuracy to recording, etc. etc., but there's another element here offered by the delivery mechanism. #music

I kinda see the immigrants leaving service jobs and disabled/lgbtq/elderly are in more visible positions. I wonder if this is real, or just my perception. #rochestermn #random

The fact that we can now build a public service that generates verifiably unpredictable numbers is a powerful, real-world demonstration that at its most fundamental level, the universe is inherently probabilistic. It's not just a theoretical debate anymore—it's the basis for practical technology that can help secure elections, run fair lotteries, and create unbreakable encryption #nist #random number factory

Strange sentence in an LA Times restaurant review.

Is this restaurant reviewer telling me:

  1. I've got a second job as a high priced call girl for older men in the entertainment industry
  2. My uncle is an older man in the entertainment industry
  3. I'm dating older men in the entertainment industry
  4. Don't go to this restaurant unless you are a loaded older man in entertainment trying to impress a hot date?
