Wanted to take the kids for lunch today. Headed over to In n Out not remembering that it was Sunday. Got there and ended up having to grab Panda Express to take home because all the churchers were out in force.
I went to In N Out, saw a massive looking line. I counted 33 cars in the drive thru so I went somewhere else, I know they're really fast considering how busy they are. But even for there, a 33 car line would take a long time.

My main computer's monitor died (the Gigabyte in my sig). On a good note, there are 2 months of warranty left on it. Will have to survive on laptop and phone until they either fix or replace it.

Preparing for a short hike today, I donned my boots, got them laced up to perfection, double tied, ready for action. Stood up and realized that I hadn't put my pants on yet. FML.
You could still have gone outside wearing a towel around your lower torso.

Wife is playing Hogwarts Legacy *again* instead of finishing Portal 2 or Fallen Order.

Kids and I pile on the couch and watch her play.

It's one of those things I can't even believe I would have ever complained about but Jesus Hogwarts is just miserable to watch once the story is done.

I mean at least it's a gorgeous game, but ugh.

I can't believe the kids asked for Hogwarts and not Portal 2 or Fallen Order.

I ordered a milwaukee string trimmer and pole saw attachment combo from home depot a few weeks ago.
Two days ago the order was delivered. Problem being, only the pole saw attachment was delivered.
Contact home depot and they confirm only one package was sent, and it was under weight for everything. Only viable option is to return the pole saw and reorder. They send a return label and UPS picked it up yesterday.
I then do a reorder.
Today I see that the package that was picked up wasnt scanned in yet, and now the order shows a second package on the way for my missing trimmer.
So now I have a return package lost in transit and possibly 3 packages on the way.

Youtube made a change and now you can't middle click videos to open in a new tab. I do that all the time if I see a video I want to watch and don't want to lose it if I refresh the page so I'll open in another tab to watch it later. Now you can't do that anymore. I'll get over it, but it's kind of annoying!

Can't you just right-click to do that, rather than middle-click?

Just get the menu you get if you click on background. Save image etc. My guess is they have a div that takes up the whole page. Facebook has been doing weird stuff like that too. They probably handle clicking with javascript instead of html.

When I right click (on a youtube 'suggestion' video, down the right side of the video I'm watching) I get a menu with the first entry "open link in new tab". Just tried it. Maybe something to do with your browser?

You can still middle-click a video to open in new tab, you just have to click on the TITLE, not the thumbnail image.

Of course there's always CTRL+left click, if you feel like using two hands.
