I recently discovered a Norwegian TV show called Hver gang vi møtes. It’s been making me smile recently. The premise is that musical artists cover songs from other artists, but the artist being covered is also there, at the head of a table and you get to see them react to their song being interpreted by someone else.

This one in particular really gets me. Ramón is so excited that you can feel it through the screen. His song is being covered by Ingrid Helene Håvik from the band Highasakite, which is one of my favorites.

and the song she’s covering:

Shout out to our Alen air purifier for raising the alarm about a sudden rise in VOCs in our kitchen. It allowed me to figure out that a foil lined protein powder packet had fallen onto the charging base of our tea pot warmer and had been melting off and on all night. Yikes.

it feels pretty awesome to send a message to a friend who you haven’t seen in over a decade, asking them to lunch

and they reply very enthusiastically and say “how about tomorrow?!”

“Hey Siri pause”. bloop bloop “That’s done”.

3 seconds go by and the podcast starts right back up again

it turns out that if you want to get more steps in in a day, you just need to walk faster. 😂

And the river flows beneath your skin Like savage horses kept within And all is wasted in the sand Like breaking diamonds with your hand

And the river grows inside of me And the river grows inside of me And the river grows inside of me And the river grows inside of me

An immediate hug from someone you’ve only known on the internet for 15 years, the very first time you see them in person

I only have one vent on HomeKit. It’s named “Vent”. Today I ask Siri to turn off the vent and it asks me which room I want to turn the vent off in. AARGH

This is fairly niche, but If you are trying to decide between Jellyfin and Emby, just go with Emby.

Watched Interstellar in IMAX today. It’s still incredible.

I just learned that in Terminal on the Mac, if you Option click anywhere in the current line that you’re typing, your cursor jumps there. You don’t have to hold down the arrow key until you get where you want to go. You can just jump there. Mind blown.

Imagine Dragons has only ever written one chorus. They do keep changing the lyrics around in each song though.

Know those movie fight scenes when one person is choking out someone else until they die or at least go unconscious?

I’ve always thought that the person being choked should fake their body going limp and then get the jump on the person choking them. Why does no one ever do that?

But tonight I got a better idea. What if the person getting choked taps out by slapping the ground, wrestling style?

The choker lets go of them reflexively, because that’s just what you do when someone taps out.

And then the person getting choked turns the tables on them. That would be hilarious.

At the dentist.

After signing some documents, I used the hand sanitizer they provided.

It has moisturizer added, so it took more time for it to dry.

When I was done rubbing my hands together, my Apple Watch congratulated me on washing my hands. 😂

As they scream, “let them burn,” you know she’ll burn at the hands of your kin

As they scream, “let them burn,” you know you won’t forgive them

Wow! This is truly a cursed version of Tetris: sandtris.com

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the best new restaurant in BR might just be Iverstine Butcher, which is open for dinner 3 nights a week.

Losers only think about the winners Winners only think about the game

Midnight Mass is still so good. Directing, acting, story: phenomenal.

It would be great if browsers detected tab opening velocity. The way I see it working:

I open 20 tabs in a furious burst, trying to get answers to some horribly documented bit of Rails functionality

After 30 mins or so, it’ll show me all of those tabs I opened and ask me to review them or close them all.

Bjork’s Post album came out almost 30 years ago, but I just really listened to the lyrics of Hyper-Ballad for the first time. That song is DARK, man

TFW you tell a dad joke so corny that your longsuffering wife of 16 years, who dutifully laughs at most of them just shakes her head and says “that was bad”

At first glance, you may think that a product named X means that it’s for anything and everything, but it actually means that it’s for nothing and nobody in particular.
