So far I’ve got a 100% success rate, but that doesn’t help my confidence when I can only see women in my field of vision.

I’m not sure why, but morning trains often have a lot of women in them. If it’s before 9am I sometimes nervously look around for another man as confirmation that I didn’t accidentally get on the women-only cars.
When I take my clothes to the laundromat, and the change that I forgot in my pocket comes out nice and shiny - that's a coin laundry
Not sure when I’ll sell. I still have some where the cost basis is suuuper low (very early ISOs) and some where it is suuuper high (poorly timed RSUs), so I kinda want to have it offset itself too, if that makes sense.
I realize that I’m fortunate enough to be able to think about tax-loss harvesting and wash sales, but it’s also annoying that I need to know about them.
My former employers stock is doing very poorly. Which would be bad for my RSUs, but now I have something to offset my SLV gains, so that’s nice, I guess.
My son’s school starts an hour later on Wednesdays, so we are springing forward and falling back every single week
Our router’s wifi network would just randomly drop. Multiple times a day, even. So we got a replacement. Same issue. Tried different outlets, too. Next thought is that maybe the location gets too warm for it? I don’t know about this stuff at all but it’s super annoying.
It feels so good to check things off of a todo list
According to this poster at city hall, 74% of people use the free and simple online tax filing system that the government provides. I used it. It’s so easy. Of course everyone uses it.
The messed up system in the USA is 100% a choice. And a bad one.
Worst part about moving to Europe: having to deal with daylight saving time *twice* (EU and then USA)
Best part about moving to Japan: Not having to deal with daylight saving time
Worst part about moving to Japan: listening to the rest of the internet complain about daylight saving time
I passed the written test! From 93% -> 43% pass rate, I was worried, but I did it.
But it takes months to get a driving test scheduled, I’ve still got months of having no license. And with a 13% pass rate… well, who knows how much longer I have.

the airs are so thin and nice! i was seriously considering it as well - and it would have been a fine decision, but I think it was RAM and color selection, and of course mainly poor impulse control that drove me to the pro
And probably just like software engineering, I’ll never re-use this over-engineered solution. But there is a satisfaction in making it.
I’ve been working on something super tedious but necessary. I spent about a week improving and over-engineering a way to make this fast the next time I have to do it. It’s not even software engineering, but it’s scratching that same itch.
Oh yes, I'm sure we're stuck with Liquid Glass for a while. I think it might evolve to fix some of the things people are complaining about, but not fundamentally change. The larger things that change will be touted as revolutions in Great UX Design rather than "we had to fix it cuz it was broken"
Maybe that's a tone you take with the Keynote, but I would much rather watch a PSotU or other WWDC videos where the people are honest about it. I appreciate talks when people are like "well, we tried this and it didn't work out how we thought it would."
I expect they'll address some of the criticisms in the changes they make.
But it will all be spun in a way that made it sound like they are making great things even greater, rather than saying out loud that they made some bad things that needed to be fixed.
I'm really curious to see what Apple puts out in WWDC2026, particularly in regards to Liquid Glass. iOS 7 was controversial too, but provided actual benefits and was easy to follow. Liquid Glass seems to make things prettier at the cost of readability, accessibility, and usability.
PIT airport has a t-rex skeleton. ORD (I think it was?) has a brachiosaurus. My data set is limited, but is it oddly common to have dinosaur bones in airports??
Wait shit I got the math wrong. For every 150 flights, one person gets struck by lightning lmao
Every time a commercial airline flight takes off, 150 people are struck by lightning. Think about that before taking your next trip, is it worth it?
Use Linux, they said. The world should be FLOSS, they said.
When I said "how do you reverse rows in a column in LibreOffice?"
"Make another row next to it, start with 1, drag down so you have an ordering. Then sort based on that row!" they said.
In other news, I probably have to pay taxes on some shares that lost value, because JPY got even weaker than that, so it still counts as a capital gain 🙃
Just read “pentesters” as “pentasaurus” and I think I’ve been out of tech too long and spend too much time around my son
yo the pteranodon didn’t gave feathers but the t-rex did, wtf
Let’s also not forget how I’m also required to do my USA taxes as well, despite not having lived there for a few years.
Working through my Japanese taxes makes me upset about how complicated the tax system is in the USA.
Everyone makes money. You shouldn’t require an industry of tax preparers to tell the government how much you made.
It’s tax season and I have all the income types and 3 different countries to deal with. So of course everything is complicated and miserable.
