Officer, I want to report a crossword crime.

We’re back! Sorry about that brief domain renewal blooper.

Well, looks like the neighbors are having a journey to the center of the earth in the back yard again.

I’m glad The Atlantic is finally covering these important technology stories.

Last up is the highly synchronized Ballet of the Reclaimed Parking Spaces.

Followed, of course, by the city’s worst civic event, the Parking Ticket Cavalcade.

Street sweeping day means watching a chain of disappointed drivers who thought they just happened upon an entire magical block of open parking spaces.

It took me a minute to notice, but the background music in this Thai restaurant is definitely soft piano versions of Disney songs. Part of Your World was the giveaway.

@CarlMuckenhoupt a Project Manager.

Oh great, the neighbor opened a portal to the netherworld in their shed again.

I broke into a pack of name-brand cinnamon graham crackers and they were so disappointing I was worried I had Covid and couldn’t taste. But no, it turns out Graham crackers are just disappointing now.

Turns out that explaining DynamoDB to someone who’s never used it involves a lot of the word “but”.

@bigzaphod nice! UPS has a similar service called mychoice, too, for any future deliveries there. USPS has a somewhat worse one called Informed Delivery that’s also worth signing up for.

@bigzaphod Can you sign up for FedEx delivery manager and see if the shipment shows up? It should find all inbound and outbound shipments that match your address.

@ja2ke classic giant Sonic

@SasquatcherGeneral although this gives me an idea for remotes with clicky mechanical keys.

I’m rarely overly effusive about products from Trader Joe’s. They’re usually fine or at least interesting. But the frozen chocolate croissants are legitimately great.
