I really gotta stop snoozing the alarm lol
Earth day was yesterday
Since I am getting better at what I'm doing, my Arch install is starting to make logical sense
Also ATT gave me a bit of scare when it (almost) forced me to verify the phone-number I no longer have, and since I can't really change it, just gonna eliminate my need for it.
TfwNoGF email, AOL email, and Outlook when necessary. I can't delete Outlook without deleting my entire Microsoft account, so I might as well use it whenever necessary. I'm hoping to finally sort out my email mess soon. NeoMutt for sure will be my main client as emails I send are always plain-text now, and most I receive are guaranteed to have plain-text fallbacks anyways.
You don't realize how badly an email is often composed until you try replying to an HTML email that turned into a thread (and the person doesnt have the urge like I do to ONLY include the message being replied to, not the entire thread). It's amazing to me how many useless down-spaces are within them. And despite having next to nothing, they're way larger because of the poor-formatting.
ALL CAPS, *asterisked text*, /slashed text/, _underlined text_, and other stuff generally gets around the benefit of HTML. Even for links, I'd go down 2 spaces after mentioning whatever, put the link, go 2 more spaces down, keep typing. Like this:
https://example.com/
^ very easy as you can tell.
It's simple, and it works. Whatever though, once I get my email hell sorted I'll probably put the link to my GPG key on Socialcu.be, we'll see.

No cavities 👍
Man, I keep having things to do, but I want to not do things.
Nearly 2 months without having even turned on my phone after it finally died, I even tried to charge it and it still wouldn't do so. It is quite nice not having a way for anyone to spam you with messages while you're out. The only reason I'd even need one again (or at least within less than 5+ years) is if I had to stay in contact with a family-member in case of emergencies when I'm not home, which usually isn't a problem as I almost never like to leave the house.
If I am ever forced to actually have one again, I'll just get a Google Pixel 6 Pro and hack it, by the time I'd do that it'll probably be even cheaper than prices I've seen on even Amazon. Under $300 via Amazon whereas it's $350 for a Google Pixel 6a on Google's own website which I'm pretty sure has worse-specs last I checked. Another thing though, whenever I hold a modern smartphone it feels like an alien object especially now.
I can hold a BlackBerry relatively easily and my hands aren't tiny, but a modern phone just feels weird. I'd rather them keep the screen small and have a stylus attached directly to the system itself instead, seems like it would be a better idea in the end even if it might slightly increase thickness. That would be a problem to me I'm sure if they didn't actively start making the phones larger anyways.
What's even the point of making it so thin if it feels like they want to make it so long it'll stop fitting in your pockets sooner or later? Just doesn't make any sense. Watch as in 2035 the iPhone Flippy is made and it's as long as the iPhone 12 now, except with two screens so it opens and closes like a Nokia E90 Communicator.

It sucks that everything's packaging is shrinking and becoming more expensive, but I really appreciate how toothpaste tubes are practically endless. I thought my toothpaste was about to go empty last week and I'm still able to squeeze some out no problem
Got a 4090 for my work PC... but it's literally the same length as the case itself... and the PSU doesn't have 12vhpwr connectors... and the motherboard is dell proprietary...

gahhh I rented a car for a couple days a few weeks ago and specifically chose to pay all tolls with cash to avoid crazy rental car toll fees, but I still managed to get slapped with a pay-by-plate-only bridge and a toll booth that was closed with instructions to pay online, but the online portal rejected payment because the car is registered to the rental car's transponder already.
$4 worth of tolls turned into $28 worth of tolls + fees, for my "convenience"
