Forecast for the last seven days of our township's pool for the year. All in all, not a terrible way to go out.

Of course this means that now I have to pick something from the Kanban "To Do" lane on our project board.

Oh no. What have I done?

There's a movie coming out about this idea with Ryan Gosling. Or you can read Andy Weir's book the movie is based on.

"Project Hail Mary"

This won't do anything for your current circumstances, but at least it'll be a good time.

Got myself trapped this morning in the seated calf raise machine. Fortunately, a good samaritan fellow gym goer was there to rescue me so I could get out.

"While we should not welcome or try to accelerate towards a future collapse, a 99-per-cent view of history is a reminder that a world with less domination and fewer rules may not be a bad thing. We don’t need to fear ourselves or the absence of rulers; we need to fear power and those who try to grab it."
