Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

The debate has shifted to Pro-bot vs. Robophobe, with a discussion of Elon Musk's belief that we're living in a simulation. Nerd co-workers are fun.

I've been getting texts from the Y all evening. "The pool will reopen @6". "The pool will reopen @7" 7:30, they gave up. Closed for the night.

I was off the computer most of the day. Dentist then mani/pedi. The whole off grid thing is getting real appealing.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Just checked with myself again. Still hate everything.

Am entertaining myself with tales of my five year old niece trying to bargain my sister on when she can wear eyeliner (!!!). She said "can I do it when I'm six?" And my sister said 13, and niece countered with 8! Hahahah!

And my bff's kid, who this weekend we filmed crawling (sort of--army crawl) and we set it to the chariots of fire soundtrack :)

Buffista Space Station. What I want is a Buffista Space Station

Was just talking about the fact that it's increasingly easy to launch a satellite if you are a civilian, so maybe we can put some sats in LEO and provide our own internet.

I also hope that folks with more skills than I have are working on a mesh network so that we don't have to use ISPs.

Indeed. Tonight is the night of pasta, and wine, and Haagen-Dasz. And The Great Irish Bake Off, which is not as good because no Sue or Mel. But the accents are lovely...

Yeah.

I ate leftovers and some garlic naan, and I've got a chocolate cupcake for dessert.
