"It's like they say: even the best laid plans of mice and men can get fucked up by bejeweled's randomizer."

Seriously, though. There is no excuse in 2020 to be sending HTML email. You can almost assuredly get your point across just as well with a plain text email.

Fuck HTML email.

1) Fuck HTML email. Fucking send me plain text, god damn it.

2) Unless there's stuff I'm missing, I'm pretty sure this violates regulations regarding accessibility.

HTML email is a fucking mess, and my uni's housing department's emails prove it. It is literally tables upon tables upon tables filled with images and nothing shows up *in my university's webmail*. I can't even view this shit through the client they give us. And guess what? No alt-text. At least, none I can see or make use of. All of this just to tell me when apartment renewals open up (or, rather, fail to tell me, as there is no discernable info in this email).

Reasons I love business-grade laptops (macbooks, of course, excluded, if they could even be counted as business grade): I just finished taking my laptop apart, reapplying thermal paste to the cpu and gpu, and putting it back together. The hardest part of all this was when I had to run out to the store to buy some isopropanol. It was that simple. Dell even conveniently provides step by step instructions on how to get to the heatsink!

Oh, and for good measure, I can't even buy a permit for the lot I normally park in, so I have to move the car to a lot that the permit I had to buy applies to. Gods, UTA is such a shitshow of a university.

Like, I know I should be using 2FA on everything, but I kinda don't wanna bother for my uni stuff, and I wasn't, even though it was an option for the past few months. But whether 2FA is good or not, *ALL THEIR FUCKIN' SYSTEMS SHOULD AT LEAST BE ABLE TO HANDLE IT, FOR FUCK'S SAKE*

I love when my uni decides to force 2FA on everyone, but does it in such an incoherent and clusterfucky way that I can't sign on to the parking permit website to assign my permit (mind you, digital permit done using an ALPR) to a different car and instead have to create a brand new visitor account and pay $40 to park here for the week I'll have the car

THANKS A FUCKIN' LOT, UTA!

Welp, seems my car's fucked. Had the battery go completely flat while I was in target and had to get a ride home. Hopefully it ain't something too hard to fix. Got mom coming down to go get the battery replaced, then we're gonna go get the alternator checked in the morning.

If you're in the eastern half of the DFW area, watch out. They're saying the rotation's died down, but stay alert and keep an eye on the weather. Stay safe out there.

Love ya,

Shit, tornado warnings are scary! Just got out of hiding from the system that just passed over us here in Arlington and Yikes, was that scary, huddled in the tub glued to the local news on my phone, trying to half-assedly keep it charged from my laptop
