The show is pretty good so far, but man I’m not interested in what’s happening at the main silo yet. I’m more interested on what’s happening next with Jules on the other silo and want to see more of that.

Their riffs are so simple but so good to bob your head too. I hope I can catch them on tour with Xero, as I missed the last one.

I had the same sentiment about the implications of

in the movie, but I also understand they were already running at almost 3 hours. Maybe an extra montage to show time passing by? Or maybe that’s too cliche. Either way, it’s still the best film of 2024 for me.

Shogun and The Penguin were the standouts for me. I’m in the middle of watching a Korean drama called “The Trunk”, and if it doesn’t shit the bed in the latter half of the series, I would put it as an honorable mention.

As first time owner of one this year, this is good news for me.

My favorite was when someone from HR finally replied and asked everyone to stop replying to all or else. Then one guy replied “Ok” to all.

Randomly asked my boss to relocate me to another country. I’ve been living abroad for 5 years now.

Sirens and phone alarm clocks as well. The latter gives me PTSD when it’s a weekend and I hear it.

Don’t go full supervillain, just a little bit less.

That’s a mouthful. Also, it would be so ironic for Wide Awake Media to complain about woke stuff.

Marketplace. Yes it’s full of scammers, but I still manage to buy and sell stuff there. Just do local in-person transactions in safe places and you’ll generally be fine. Also, a lot of my acquaintances are still there, so I still have Messenger to keep in touch. But that’s basically all I use it for.

100%. The majority of my health concerns at the moment are my teeth, and because dental is separate, I’m spending a lot more out of pocket because the maximum coverage is so much lower.

I also prefer dense, urban living, but currently not in that situation. Working in tech in a tech hub blue city in a red state. Relatively lower cost of living, but above average pay. But yes, public transportation is almost non-existent, and you have to deal with the state trying to screw your city over all the time because of politics.

Are they immune to rabies?

When setting an auto-reply out of office message, don’t forget to configure it to only reply to internal email senders, else you’ll be sharing some pretty juicy info (names and contact details) to people outside your organization.

Started a new Korean show called “The Trunk” on netflix. I love the aesthetic and the cold, Gone Girl-like feel of the sets. I’m only halfway through the 3rd episode and it’s still just bits and pieces so I can’t wait for everything to fall into place.

Root canals. The procedure has come a long way since the 90s and is relatively smooth and painless now. Obviously having a good and skillful edodontist also helps, but it’s no longer excruciating like decades ago.

Would a lower temp, but longer dryer cycle be any better?

Attending a conference today and tomorrow so it’s a nice break from work. Things are also starting to quiet down at work due to the upcoming winter break.
