    Pretty sure I saw a pre-molt cicada last night, it was a big ole chonker trundling along the ground. Either they look bigger before they pop out of the old shell or he's gonna be an absolute unit.

    It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing... And take away its pain.

    Chat I need help with a laptop thing.

    Every so often when watching netflix or youtube my laptop randomly zooms a whole lot. And then just shaking the mouse makes it go back to normal.

    I turned off all mousepad zoom functionality and it still happens.

    What else could even cause this to happen?

    worn out mouse wheel thinking it's moving when it's not?

    I should have specified that there is no mouse connected.

    It's just the laptop I have connected to my TV to use for streaming services.

    Just seems so bizarre because there shouldn't be any shortcut left that could be activating by accident.

    And why does just shaking the mouse unzoom? How would one even make it do that normally?

    Hrmmm.

    WaPo and NYT both do tons of important, quality reporting!

    Like jesus yeah they have a stupid columnist now and then but that doesn't mean everything else they do is invalid.

    Shit even a lot of way dumber papers out there still actually have lots of quality reporting.

    The Sara Lee guy was parked out front in his huge box truck, fluorescent caution cones around the thing. My old lady checker managed to rear end this stationary truck- not clipping the corner by misjudging a turn but just running fully into the back doing at least 10mph. The hood of her big SUV is rolled up back to the windshield.

    I… suspect she won’t be clocking in this morning

    My mind is a swirl of emotions right now due to some horrible stuff outside of my control involving a coworker... and all I can do here is sit and think about how I'm gonna try to convince my counselor to try ADHD meds for myself. I don't know why I'm hooked on these like they are some magic pill. I know better. I know I need to do better... but man. I just want to give it a try, you know?

    I took Lia outside three times yesterday, which wasn't enough, so she started hitting Purissa until she (Lia) was worked up enough to be angry and make yelling noises and I had to spend even more effort separating them.

    ryanair is great for flying insofar as you get exactly what you pay for

    if you expect luxury flying to another country for the price two coffees, that's on you rather than ryanair
