Hi!

So, I’m happy to report that the scientific craft named Boaty McBoatface has safely returned from its first mission. There’s an article about it and everything.

Happy Thursday!

Hi!

So, for those of you who don’t remember: A while ago, there was an instance where somebody at a historical reenactment group thingy threw a spear at a drone with a camera on it… and hit the drone.

I recently saw an update to the post. It’s worth a read.

Enjoy!

Hi!

So, I learned something new yesterday.

Thank you, Fluffy.

Apparently, in Norway, the word “Texas” is used to mean “Crazy”. There’s a BBC article about it and everything!

So, yeah. I thought that was amusing.

How about you?

Hi!

So, I’ve realized something recently. School culture has majorly rubbed off on me.

I’m especially thinking about this in the context of cellphone batteries. More to the point, I tend to think of “how good I am with where my battery is” based on grade percents. If I’m in the high 90 percent left area, I’m great. 80s, good, but not great. 70s? Questionable. Anything below that is distressing.

What about you?

Hi!

So, recently? I came across a totally uprooted tree.

Naturally, I took a picture.

Enjoy!

LET’S ROOT FOR TREES!

Hi!

So, my upstairs neighbors seem to be very… energetic. They’re not exactly really loud, they just stamp around their apartment. At odd times. In odd ways.

It means that sometimes, I wonder why my neighbors are apparently having 3:00am dance parties at 3am. Or 10:30pm. Or 4 in the morning.

The rest of the time, I just accept it.

When the pondering does happen, I’m actually sometimes tempted to see if they’re even human. (I live in a pet-friendly place. It doesn’t sound like a dog, but you never can tell.)

But then I’d know. And that defeats the fun. Right now, I can speculate about their dance parties.

If I were to find out that it’s just for the sake of exercise, that would be so much more boringer.

Yes.

Hush.

Anyway. So, yep. Conundrums. I think I’ve pretty much decided not to ask. After all, I can always change my mind in that direction. But I wouldn’t be able to go back, after I’ve asked. Or even found out who they are.

Yup. Fun times.

Happy Sunday!

Hi!

So. I had been totally unaware of this… But apparently, Starbucks has been / is selling a “Unicorn Frappucino” for a limited time. (Today is the next-to-last day to get one.)

And there have been some rather hilarious reviews. In part because the baristas (baristos?) seem not to like making it.

What especially has me confused is that it’s a frappuccino… but it doesn’t have any coffee. SO, I mean, what’s the point of calling it a Frap?

Anyway. Happy Saturday!

Hi.

So, I may have a cold, or I may have allergies. Or both. It’s hard to tell.

Regardless, that means I’m taking a lot of coffee to try to help reduce the symptoms.

Unfortunately, it didn’t help as much this time. So tonight, (well, last night from your perspective) I expect I’ll probably be up too late… either because of the coffee, or because my dang nose is trying to kill me. Again.

I hope you have a good day!

Hi!

So, I had a rather amusing experience recently.

I was in a room with a fun desk. It’s an electric desk, with– I kid you not– controllable height! It’s fun.

It was able to go up to a very comfortable height to stand behind. And could probably have gone up further, but I stopped.

But here’s where things get a bit confusing.

There was also a chair in the room. A spinny office chair. With adjustable height.

And it could go up to basically the full height of the desk.

So, you could make the desk go up to a height where you’d be comfortable standing behind it… and then sit comfortably behind it.

I have no idea why.

Anyway, have a lovely Wednesday!
