Why is it OK for United in-flight wifi to be so flaky? Captive customers who are mostly just expensing it?

Savannah Airport @Hertz is a nightmare. Took four hours to get our rental. Waited in line for two hours to supposedly get put on a waiting list for cars, but our agent wasn't actually adding people to list. Manager discovers this and then runs away to parking lot.

Does everyone else get shown random "removing bee hives from strange places" videos on Facebook, or did I somehow make the algorithm think I want to see them every day?

I wish I could remember why I wrote "book more time on Monday" down on Friday.

Still going through "best of" lists from 2021. I think @badedgecases should consider including the album from Circuit Des Yeux named "-io".

I used a French press for the first time today. It made tasty coffee. This is an alternative to keep me from going down the "homemade espresso" rabbit hole.

I just came to the realization that if I want to keep being annoyed about people using "login" as a verb, I should also consider rejecting words like "percent."

What have I done to cause ads suggesting that I eat Bagel Bites for breakfast to show up on Twitter?

Bringing a puppy home has led to going deep in YouTube's catalog of ambient noise videos. You want a symphony of 8 box fans? Clothes dryer? Airplane cabin noise? *First Class* airplane cabin noise? (does that one sound different from coach?) It's all there.

Torn: "concision" or "conciseness"? I prefer "conciseness" but it bothers me that it's a longer word, given the meaning.

Anyone know how to get my Kindle to stop showing me (and my kids) ads for romance novels on the lock screen?

I helped a 90-year-old woman cross the street outside the Benedum Center today in downtown Pittsburgh. She told me she saw Frank Sinatra there when she was 14.

"Umbrellas are NOT permitted at camp, as too many umbrellas and small children are a dangerous mix." (from kids' camp e-mail -- is there something I don't know about?)
