Did not expect (though I should have) that replacing my ATT modem/router would cause so much extra work to get my network running smoothly again. Like, literally hours so far

I am feeling about as useless as a man can feel right now. I'm going out in fifteen minute intervals trying to chip my car out - and it's "chip", not "shovel". I'm just literally bludgeoning the ice with my shovel and scooping up the bits I chip off. I'm only doing a bit at a time so I don't end up in the hospital, and in the meantime the cold I had last week has boomeranged and now after breathing in all the cold air out there, my throat is sore and my voice has gotten hoarse again.
I need to go across town and get my other wife's car out as well [ #PolyProblems ] And I have an online show tonight and a show tomorrow and on Thursday, all of which will require me being able to speak.
Good morning, blue Tuesday. #grouse #kvetch #OldManYellsAtCloud -
Grumbling to self because today’s NY Times Spelling Bee puzzle doesn’t know the word “muriatic” 😾

It's 2024, and I have to wait 30 seconds for the impossibly long track name to scroll by to see the actual title at the beginning like waiting for an announcement on the LED board in my high school to scroll by in the 1990s... what in the world happened to DESIGN? :facepalm:

I don't know why people aren't supposed to write about why their life-changing books changed their life, seems like that would be more interesting than a screenshot of a book cover

Google, my credit cards are also dangerously low on storage, but they don't hound me about it multiple times a day.

God-damned motherfucking cock-sucking editor out of the blue nominates a slew of my more mild articles for deletion. Well, joke's on you, you soppy tart stalking horse —I'm not contesting jack shit!

Robo calls woke me from a much-needed nap and then an interesting dream.
Don't call me unless you have boobs.

E492: Not an editor command: qw
WHY NOT? I mean, dude, just cut me a break for once. I have work to do. The keys are right next to each other (at least on QWERTY). #kvetch ;)

Had to use Win11 and MS Excel for a few minutes today on a colleague's laptop.
Oh my. UI and UX has gotten *SO* bad. It was just painful and clumsy to use.
I thought Win2k and Office 2003 were infinitely better.
Does nobody use an actual MOUSE anymore? It's such a pain to use modern scroll bars, and there's no way to scroll through an enormous spreadsheet with the mouse wheel. My laptop has a pretty great trackpad -- large, glass, and responsive. I still prefer a mouse.

#kvetch: my flight is so late that we are starting to board after the published flight time, but since the airline hasn't actually sent an updated departure time to the app, said app is no longer showing the boarding pass (because we must have taken off).
#kvell: I saved the boarding pass to Google Wallet so I still had the QR code and walked right on board. (I could equivalently have taken a screenshot but now that I know this feature is here, it's easier.)

I deleted my Twitter account today. I _wanted_ to stay so to read stuff from my congress-critters & other helpful organizations, but I couldn't.
I implore U.S. folks to contact their reps asking them abandon billionaire-controlled media for other venues of communication.
I'm not smart enough to advocate the exact solutions, but I find the notion of exclusively reserving 'mastodon.senate' and 'mastodon.ushouse' for this purpose appealing.
