Grocery store forgot to take a sale sign down that ended yesterday.
Got the stuff at the sale price anyways.

I managed to solve a 10+ year paranormal activity mystery in my house thanks to my security cameras.
Every now and then I'll be lying in bed at night and this super bright aura of light will happen right inside the room. It's almost like a ball of light that lights up the entire room for a second or so.
The last few times it's happened I thought of taking a screenshot on my phone so I can get a time stamp so I can then check the cameras the following day.
There's a street about a block away from where I live that's slightly visible from one of my cameras and it has this very big bump on it and any time one of those assholes with the retarded bright HID lights drives on it, it flashes the entire neighbourhood, and somehow, that's making it inside my bedroom even though it's on the back of the house. I think it reflects off the siding of the shed. So that's what's causing these random flashes of light.
It doesn't really explain why it shows up as some sort of aura in the room, since it's almost like a ball of light that just appears and disappears but the 3 times I managed to take a time stamp line up with a vehicle passing down that street each time so it must be that. On the camera it even looks like a big ball of light that slowly approaches then it flashes when the vehicle hits the bump.

Is your bedroom upstairs or downstairs? If it's downstairs and you keep the windows open with no curtains, you have got to be suicidal. If it's upstairs and still no curtains, umm...suicidal again. Like seriously, I don't understand people who have no problem with a weird creature looking in while they are sleeping.

It's sorta upstairs, it's a split level house and it's on the higher section so the window is pretty high up. There's blinds and they are closed in the sense that one can't see inside, but the light still makes it through somewhat.

Not today, but tomorrow I'm finally having the catheter I've had in since Sept.8th (8 days total) removed.
(The doctors wanted to make sure I didn't have a UTI or something else.)
So ready to rid my body of this.
Sorry.. gross subject matter, I know.

Last update to fennec-fdroid(firefox fork android) was borked. Since android sucks, and you can't downgrade or retain settings for programs, I used the duckduckgo browser, and hoped the next update would fix everything. After a month, I got the update this morning, and it's fixed!. Duckduckgo is alright, and I like it as a secondary browser, but I don't know how people can use anything but firefox, *especially* on android.

Finally got firefox 140, and the tab groups are pretty sweet. Now I have a place for all my open bandcamp pages I want to keep in mind and get back to without taking metres of space. They used to have something like that long ago, but it was too useful, so they got rid of it. Glad it's back.
Wow. Been some time since something good happened to people here? 
My usual Wifi I connect to went offline permanently. I complain. Get some lousy slow Wifi that keeps disconnecting and I'm unable to download anything that takes longer than a few minutes. Bear with it for two weeks and then call the landlord. He gets the villa caretaker on the job. He went to great lengths to pull a cable from his room to my room and I finally get a stable, working connection. So I reward him with a can of Pepsi because I don't drink Pepsi and it happened to be in my fridge because it came free with a meal.
WHAT IF the whole ordeal happened and came to a conclusion in the way it did for that Pepsi can to make its way to the caretaker?
Makes one wonder.

Not necessarily a good thing, but interesting to me at least. My public works director took me out to a road they're completely redoing. They're doing the asphalting so it's almost wrapped up, but just watching all the machinery and seeing the asphalt being laid down was kinda mesmerizing. Not really something you think about because a road is just "there" and you take it for granted, but just watching it was like some sort of ASMR thing lol Pretty neat. Talking to the engineer, he said it gets laid down around 300 degrees, then when it cools to about 250, they'll put a roller on it, then another pass around 200 and by 160 it'll be fine for cars to start driving on it.

Really nice weather for a trip to a state park before the leaves fall off and sadness starts

The trick is to live in a place where it's just dry enough that it's acceptable not to have a yard.
