You can sign up for a key to use the Congress.gov API to retrieve legislative data in a machine-readable format.

Exciting, right? I know. Try to contain it.

Working outside and didn't see many mosquitoes today, really miss 'em.

One second I'm reading ingredients on a box at the grocery and all the sudden I find out when viewed by scanning electron microscopy, cooked spaghetti exhibits a filamentous network near the outer surface that is a starch-coated protein network interconnected by starch fibrils.

Belay that! Not a bug per se. I looked at about:processes in firefox and voila: Google Maps devouring cpu and memory. Closed that tab and all is well.

holy heck firefox's "Isolated web co" process is eating unreasonable amounts of CPU and memory. Latest build. Gotta be a new bug.

Think my pup might have a greenstick. Much swearing. And pampering. And more swearing.

If so he came by it honestly; his only setting is 11. But damnit.

Could it be that Ukraine regaining control of the oil platforms enabled them to establish sufficient network connectivity in the Black Sea/Crimea that they don't need Starlink there?

And so we're clear; MGM is an Amazon company. Hope the AWS help desk is better managed.

Can you dig it? Yes I can.

Extra rain gets extra drainage. And that old corrugated pipe is not fit for purpose; laying the real deal.

Like crossword puzzles and maybe want to dabble with making them? Yeah you do, I know and that's okay I won't tell.

Ever since the events on this day 22 years ago I get special treatment at airports because I look a certain way -- yeah TSA _absolutely_ profiles which is dumb for a lot of reasons but here's the thing; even going through Logan a year later the officers had a great sense of humor about it, we were all laughing and having a great time while they patted and prodded and relieved me of anything remotely sharp.
