Nine (7/29)

Sampling again from several years ago.

Write about a really expensive restaurant bill you’ve had. Where was it? How many people were in the party? What was really good? What was not-so-good? Do you at all regret it?

It’s been a whilte since I had anything really expensive. One of the things I’ve noticed is the the really expensive places, following the “Inflation Reduction Act,” which is really just the Green Alchemy push rebranded, haven’t seen as steep price increases as the “lower-tier” restaurants.

Two burgers, a regular fry, and a shake cost us nearly $60 the other night delivered form one of the food delivery places.

That might have cost us half that two years ago. But that restaurant might be linked to COVID. 5G. Open your eyes!

We’ve really not been up to go out in a long time. But, fi I was to head out to a restaurant in DC, maybe I should eschew my usual haunts for a different place…one that, no kidding, was listed as a selling point for hte neighborhood when I was looking at Real Estate in the city.

But today is going to be pretty low-key. We watched something my wife had DVR’d. She’s off to pick up Polly Prissypants from the groomer. (If our children would be South Park characters, it makes sense that our “dog” would be something related, too…but it is a very fitting nickname for a dog who was clearly named “princess” before she was first abandoned)


News. This.

You’re talking to a buy who’s had screens burned from more than a few IRSSI sessions in GNU Screentmux.

(I do miss Screen, but there was some vuln in the version that was shipping that some skript kiddie was using that would cause sessions to quit working. Tmux is easily installable with many distros, and is IA-blessed for work, so switch.)

MRI in the morning to see how much damage PML caused with the JCV infection.

The Totes-didn’t-used-to-do-evilGoogle Reviews on the place where I’m going aren’t confidence-inspiring.

It’s a tube. Pay your copay, get put inside a tube, and you try to stay still. I often fall asleep. Whatever. Get out, get dressed, go home.
