At the package store today I witnessed an amazing fall/feat/fail/feat combination of dexterity.

A woman on her cell phone is grabbing a 6 pack. While she does this she drops her phone but deftly catches it at the expense of her hold on the 6 pack. She then catches that a foot from the ground.

All without missing a beat of her conversation.

I don't think I'll be buying a mattress or schwarma from a place that sells both.

Watching the Acolyte, I realized what I really want to see...

Before the Jedi council existed, before light sabers, before Jedi and Sith, a being able to use the Force emerges. Find a few others with similar abilities.

(S)He then realizes that they can use this power to control the galaxy. Through manipulation and deceit they get a foothold into the galactic senate and then create what will eventually become the Jedi council, ensuring they have urestricted power and access to powerful friends

Good morning CoSo.

It was a good ride this morning

Good morning from the department of completely irresponsible click bait ads.

@Alfred - please parse and explain this corporate statement as it refers to ending DEI initiatives
"With these new dynamics at play, we must adjust our work to ensure it continues to drive business results while appropriately recognizing the current environment in which we find ourselves,"

Why is it called a "meteoric rise" when meteors only fall?

When does Obsession cross the line into Addiction?

Good morning.

Incoherent thoughts are weighing on my soul and have been choking my ease like hot, humid swamp air.

I still don't know what it is. But if I'm quiet or unusually inane, give me time and space.

No, I didn't go this fast. (The blip at about 7 miles)

Oddly tho, a radar speed sign also caught me going 30mph for 5 seconds at this same spot (going uphill so I'm sure that wasn't real)

Sigh.

Spammer gonna spam

Ooooooo!!!
Sally's apizza is expanding and will be closer to where I live.

I realize my name might not be all that common.

I realize spelling is hard.

But I also realize that my name is right there as part of my email address.
It's *right there*. Email, slack, anywhere official I communicate at work.

Why does this one VP continue to misspell my name? Every. Time.
