I don’t get it – this kid has been fighting bedtime every night for weeks, and he’s been on a tear all freaking day…but tonight he calmly logged off the computer, did Duolingo, then went and got ready for bed.
I mean, I’m not complaining, I just wish I knew what the difference was!

“…yeah…”
Kid typed a Minecraft command in zoom chat that would give every player a zillion diamonds. One of the other kids actually pasted it into the game, and it crashed.
Scientists with allergies
Interesting story about scientists who develop allergies to their subject of research through repeated exposure. Studying ragweed pollen and developing hay fever is one thing. Developing anaphylaxis to snake venom – even venom that’s normally harmless to humans – is another.
I think my favorite was the butterfly researcher who developed severe asthma when exposed to sulphur butterflies, so he switched to killer bees.

Car Repairs
Reminder to self: car repairs ALWAYS take longer than expected. Always.
(a few hours later)
Got the car home around 4:30, promptly ran over the first aid kit I’d taken out and left in a precarious spot where it apparently fell into the path of the tire. Had to clean up shards of plastic all over the garage before actually parking the car. 🤦♂️

Random fact: The mural that used to be on the previous bar at that location is a Pokemon Go Gym.
Completely unrelated to the route I took, of course.

Found the ancient G2 (HTC Desire) phone (back when there were Android phones with actual KEYBOARDS!). It still runs. Wondering if there’s something I can put on there that’s newer than the ancient version of Android it has, but it’s too old for LineageOS.
Anyone know what might run on it?

Bad joke
I nearly joined a multilevel marketing campaign selling citrus flavored soy sauces, but then I realized it was just a Ponzu scheme.
