was watching an Australian game show (The New Price is Right) and that was one of the prizes on offer

I have a question for my aussie friends: why did you have a van called the Jackaroo????

time to listen to a bunch of random popular 90s alternative rock/grunge to hopefully distract myself from the fireworks still going off at midnight

I'm making this poll because I've shown the show to a few folks who are not huge game show nerds like me, and they seem flabbergasted at the concept from the get-go

Despite it being (mostly) a mundane Jeopardy! clone.

Poll for folks:

If I told you there was a game show in the 1990s called "Debt" where the grand prize was to pay off your debt/bills, what would be your response to that be?

Went outside expecting sun, got clouds instead

Oh well, still looks nice tho

bonus selfie since I haven't shared one with my haircut from a few weeks ago

While in meetings yesterday I had one of the robots print this, and then I enjoyed some delicious clam chowder. Fun fact, adding clam chowder unlocks a secret level in the original Ecco the Dolphin cartridge.

Today I was reminded that old online chats offered context awareness for the people online: you knew you won't be a bother to a friend who has a smiley flower as a status; and you knew you might not be getting a quick reply from someone who's Away.

Today I don't even know if my friends are online or not. The messenger apps make the assumption that everyone is online, and if not, they will receive a push notification, and will reply to you as soon as possible. But this assumption is barely true. I bet it makes lives harder, especially for ND people

re: pain, rant 

A bit on the mend today but the pain's still kinda there.

I think this back and body pain, despite it not being debilitating, is making me at least feel miserable and irritable, especially when talking with folks.

Apologies in advance if I feel a bit snippy at the moment.

re: pain, rant 

Last night was me struggling to move as I felt a modest amount of pain around my back and upper body. A general, dull ache.

Even after resting I don't feel better.

I have an immense fear that this will become "the new normal" for me, and I am genuinely scared about that.

pain, rant 

I don't talk much about my personal problems these days, but I have been feeling back pain and other kinds of pain for the past month and some days are more bearable than others

I got a new chair which has helped, but I'm still feeling that ache

I can't tell if it's aging, or I have a genuine problem, and I'm kinda worried, ngl
