@ScottSoCal #tinybugs this could start some stories.
In my hands is a signed launch-day Xbox 360. Looking up, Bill Gates is smiling at me. Everybody in Best Buy is smiling.
I take off my Apple Vision. I am back in the retirement home. Nobody has visited me for 16 years. I put the Apple Vision back on.
I hold the Xbox 360. Everybody in Best Buy is smiling
#bugs A tiny - like the size of this i - leggy, pale green, millipede looking bug fell from a silver maple and landed on my hand. Then the tiny beast bit or stung me! I relocated the rude thing. One of its companions must have crawled up my pants leg and attacked there. Iβm afraid fatalities resulted.
#farm adventures!
@wx1g @DemocracyMattersALot Sometimes the need to vote strategically outweighs the desire to follow oneβs heart.
A polite note to the driver of the white BMW with whom I (miraculously, by mere inches and milliseconds) avoided a collision when you came screeching around a blind bend in the lanes on my side of the road:
We drive on the left in the UK. As your car has UK plates, I hope and trust this is not new information to you.
Thereβs this One Neat Driving Trick called βalways be able to stop in the space that you can seeβ. Maybe try it some time?

people like to say "money can't buy happiness"
but 90% of my problems would instantly evaporate if i just didn't have to worry about cash all the goddamn time
if so much of the world wasn't gated behind fucking dollars
happiness can't be bought, but the prerequisites for it can -- food, shelter, warmth... stability, pretty much
it's a lot easier to find happiness when you're not consistently stressed out about finances
βWith #Apple Vision Pro, youβre no longer limited by β¦.[checks price]β¦.the bother of people significantly poorer than you appearing in your field of vision.β
I love that I can share science or history or even *soil* β¬οΈ on #Mastodon & every comment is thoughtful, polite & interesting.
Itβs a nice reminder that despite what I became accustomed to elsewhere, social media can still be interesting & fun. Long live the #fediverseπ /2

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
