@TheNewsOwl my s22+ had this as a factory option. It took 14 seconds to change it back to a power button.

Visiting canada this week. Its a pretty good time.

Hi everyone, I just want to say you're great. You're my best friend.

My thesis is that our current society is the absolute worst, and it would be better if everyone was eaten by zombies.

@Chico_Calcetines thats good advise. We are making things out of clay. Its the longest I've seen him sit in one place in his entire life.

Parents.

How the fuck do you do it?

2 days with a 6 year old and I'm about to run screaming into the woods.

@DarkeConteur my secret is that I have no focus. I have to be super vigilant about it. I'm lucky thought, in the sense that what I'm writing about is the one thing that my mind cant stop thinking about, even when I'm not writing.

@DarkeConteur I had this problem too. I probably had 4 or 5 WIPS that I would get obsessed about for periods of time, but I knew I would never finish any of them. 2 years ago I decided that I would focus on one one, and I would finish it. I think my writing is much better by committing to just one story, instead of jumping around from obsession to obsession. I think more deeply about it, and dive deeper into my characters.

My favorite part of the holiday season is being forced to hear a newly recorded rendition of a christmas song where they think they're going to out-sing Mariah Carey.

I imagine the producer cracking a whip yelling "HAPPIER, SMILE MORE, MORE CHRISTMAS CHEER GOD DAMNIT!!!"

Whenever I see a picture of Sam Bankman-Fried, I think "Wow, he chooses to look like that."

@Rickbflony if the Bills win the superbowl, how am I supposed to get almost brand new Bills apparel at the salvation army right after football season?

This fucking sucks, I genuinely hate Elon Musk. Goodbye twitter, I can't support what you stand for anymore.

Mushroom farm 1.2 is doing great. I built this little fire hazard a few days ago to modulate the temperature inside the grow tent between 65 and 75 degrees. Then the lights and heater shut off over night, letting the temps drop to 50, spurring the mycellium to grow mushrooms when it warms up in the morning.

I was worried that the heater would tax the humidity automation, but the way I designed it, it actually evaporates water that collects in the tray that was overflowing. Win win.

Had a good writing day, and I'm excited to start my zombie/writing/movie podcast.

@J_Windrow is that when you have so many books you need a trailer to haul them around?

I just really can't handle conservatives today. Its normally bad, but its certainly much worse now.

I just don't get the blind loyalty and rejection of any form of critical thinking. The most frustrating thing is that if I point out all the ways their tiny brains have failed them, they come right back with, "NO, U!!!"

I'm done with the gaslighting, the trolling, blind belief in any conspiracy theory that justifies their fucked up beliefs. You're all dead to me. Pass the gravy.
