Damn. I imagined that now that the M4 Mini is out, the M1 Mini would be super cheap on the used market.
Nope! They're still like $400 for a base model! For a four-year-old computer! A new M4 model is $600!
I mean, for Pete's sake, an M1 Mini with 16G RAM is like... $600... on ebay
why would anyone order that

Why are so many women hiding their voting plans from their husbands? A lot of households are not democracies; they’re dictatorships. This may mean voter intimidation and suppression. https://www.theguardian.Mastodon 🐘

Back in the old days, we used alt text because folks didn't always want to wait for them to download.
I'm sitting at the end of my driveway, ready to hand out candy, connected to the house wifi.
I'm not getting photos 🤣
I am currently very thankful for those who have added alt text to their images and videos!

Me: What should I be for Halloween?
Hereafter follows a series of siri's answers:
1. I see London, I see France, I see you dressing up as the English channel.
2. Wear yellow and white, put on some little red horns and you can be a deviled egg.
3. Put a radio on your head and dress up as a creep.
4. Put on a duckbill, carry a basketball and a slide rule, and be a technical fowl.
5. If you stayed home, and just chilled with your iPod, I suppose, you'd be a HomePod.
6. You could put on surgeon scrubs, hold some instruments, and tell people you're an operating system.
7. Put a little red microphone icon on your shirt. Then, pretend to talk without making any sound. You're that person on every video call who's stuck on mute.
8. Get a rhinestone jumpsuit, sideburns, tinted glasses and some pointy ears. Tell everyone you're elvish.
9. jump up and down over and over and shake your fist. You can tell everyone you're anti gravity.
10. Just smile and nod. Then you can be your own bobblehead doll.
11. You could be a pirate. I'll be your co-pirate.
12. Just carry around a martini glass filled with some guacamole, go around clinking glasses with everyone, and yell: Ävocado toast!".
13. You could carry around a squirt bottle and say you're a streaming service.
14. Be a ghost. All you need is an old spreadsheet.
15. You could go as an eclipse. Just dress in black and stand in front of things.

I had 4 girls dressed as vampires at the door trick or treating just now.
In unison they said "sick or shit?", or at least that's what it sounded like through their ill fitting plastic teeth.
I gave them plenty of candy, best to not take the risk. If anything, sick or shit is now their parents problem.
[ footnote: the candy was not poisoned, but if you eat that many jelly bats too quickly who knows the outcome ]

Happy birthday to ARPANET, the forerunner of the modern internet! 53 years ago, the first message was sent over this pioneering network, paving the way for a world of interconnection and innovation.
As a tech enthusiast, I am constantly amazed by the ways the internet has transformed our lives, allowing us to communicate, learn and share ideas across boundaries and borders. From social media to e-commerce, from telemedicine to remote work, the internet has become an essential part of our daily routines, enabling us to connect with others and access a wealth of information at our fingertips.

the web dev class was rough today, but for reasons mostly out of my control.
Several Chromebooks had build issues with the downloadable Debian VS Code package, so I had to help them add the MS apt repo and install from there.
We had to do some command line work to set git usernames and emails for commits, so that caused friction.
The VS Code git buttons are TINY. I'm sticking with that for now because their editor skills are growing, but it wasn't very clear how to stage files.
I'm going to work on a muscle-memory protocol for them to develop. Fire up the local copy, fetch any updates, and then get to work.
Commit when a chunk of work is done. Don't push til you're ready to be done for the day. Don't open a PR until you're _totally_ done with the task.
All good things, but it's going to take time.
