Bit of a weird writing time right now. I normally do this either first thing in the morning, or right after I finish work. Because they’re doing this Field of Dreams<\/em> game on FOX, what I’d normally be watching is preempted. It’s not yet time for Jeopardy!. <\/em>So knock things out before that comes on…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First up? Looks like I probably should get another shot<\/a>. While much of what I’ve been consuming lately is decidedly opposed to the vaccine(s), I’m already down the road with it, so why not continue? I am saying, however, forcefully<\/strong>, that I will avoid doing business with companies that are asking to see customers’ proof of vaccine. Yeah, I got it. No, you can’t see it, and you can kiss my dollars goodbye. It’s none of your fucking business.; Just like it’s not any of my business what you chose to have for breakfast this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, Afghanistan. The US and the UK are running away<\/a>. An orderly end was planned, but the new Administration had to do something different than the bad orange man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s fine. We’re finished. You failed. Move onto something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as Britney, she’s free. That one is a bit of a different take. It’s over. Her dad sortakinda didn’t fail. Move on<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not working tomorrow. Whatever. I still have something like 80 hours’ PTO I need to figure out how burn before the end of the calendar year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name some annoyances that may seem trivial, but drive you crazy<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s so many. “Negative impact.” No, it’s a negative effect. Or something could negatively affect something else. A negative impact is a vacuum; it sucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People saying “backslash” when reading a standard URL. There are occasionally web apps, and the like that use a \\ in a URL. That said, for the vast, vast, vast majority of sites, it’s a forward slash \/.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s related to the underlying FHS<\/a>, if you’re a nerd, and care about that sort of thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
