I assume the 90s census asked “Are you a bitch, a lover, a child, or a mother?” and Meredith Brooks was like “This question is impossible to answer.”

So my cousin set up my grandmother with a Roku box for TV. She’s enjoying Freevee and news apps and YouTube.

How can I buy her specific shows or movies that she misses? Amazon? Some other service? It’s gotta be user-friendly.

(All of it’s worth getting her off satellite TV because she’s stopped watching Fox News.)

Normally I would agree (I buy physical media myself).

In this case there’s the hassle of sending and setting up a player, and teaching her about switching inputs when she wants to watch news instead of a show.

I’m not concerned about longevity either in this case. I’m not building a solution for 10 years, this is just something she’ll care about for a couple of years at most.

You’re telling me Discord continuously tries to determine your age and gender? In my day we just had to send “A/S/L?” to find that out.

It was cool how, 25 years ago, Hollywood decided that every movie needed some big beat electronic songs in the soundtrack.

Okay, the trend was overused. Dramas, comedies, action, even romcoms!

Still. I liked it.

Was just crossing the street (at the crosswalk) and this asshole in his muscle car cut me off turning left, then to show off he revs his engine and accelerates quickly past me.

Amazing someone like that is allowed to operate a vehicle. I’m getting really tired of this shit.

"Thanks all, bye!" has become the default Zoom sign-off phrase. I wonder if that'll become imprinted into our vocabulary and eventually lose its original context.

According to police, after the victim got off of the trolley, he was getting his bike off the rack in the front of the trolley when he was fatally run over by the driver.

I have some business travel coming up, and our booking system doesn't include train travel as an option. Needless to say, I am deflated. I was hoping to ride to my destination in style and comfort, but instead I am forced to complete this journey in a flying tin can, packed like sardines.

Also, I'm somewhat sure air travel has a higher carbon footprint than train travel. Hmmm... Waaaait... What if I used that angle to get them to spring for train tickets next time?

@nytimes has a cool Buying vs Renting housing calculator.

Given how low my rent is in the Midwest, seems like renting is the smarter financial choice atm. But finances aren't everything. QOL is important too, though harder to quantify.
