Sprinkler season. Which means half the impact sprinklers that came with the house will be blasting the wrong way into the street or fences.
Was told I just need to replace the impact sprinklers every 5 years or so because the parts wear out. The parts that pop off easily? Great, where do I buy parts? Nearly impossible to find, so just buy a whole new sprinkler every 5 years. And even then, new ones will randomly be blasting the side of the house at 5am.
Residential impact sprinklers can fuck off and die along with the assholes that install them.
Gear driven ones I've been replacing them all with seem to work without much fail, though, so there's that, just annoying.

My jimmies are rustled that feet are expressed as a fucking fraction of a meter. I don't even give a fuck that there's a difference between US and International. All of my fucks were officially given to the meter part of that bullshit. Meters should be defined as a number of feet.
Besides, it's obvious the fraction is most correct because the decimal is irrational.

Was very ill today, ended up watching a bunch of old SNLs on Peacock. Specific episodes like Steven Seagal (which they butchered, he's barely in the Peacock version) and Sandler's tribute to Farley.
Also watched the episode after 9/11, was amazed at how political parties seemed to be nonexistent with everyone coming together. They were like "hug your local cops and firefighters" and it was all just...kind of heartwarming, in spite of the horrible thing that had happened and the terrible effect it clearly had on them.
Then I jump forward almost 20 years to the first episode with live crowds returning "post-COVID" (which was like early 2021...ehh, pretty sure it hadn't gone anywhere but whatever). There was a similar vibe to the 9/11 episode with cast members on the verge of tears (though far moreso than 9/11) and expressing gratitude and so forth. Then the episode proceeded to be as divisive and partisan as humanly possible. They shit on cops, whined about The Insurrection, suggested "quarantining" all unvaxed Republicans by moving them to Florida so that they don't make the rest of us sick (vax preventing transmission was still an active lie I guess). As in cast members were vocally advocating forcefully uprooting people and sending them to the quarantine state.
"McConnell blocked an investigation of J6 because Republicans are desperately trying to bury their riots" was an actual phrase that came out of the Weekend Update guy's mouth. Riots plural? When was there a second one? Are these people aware that their side did over 800 violent riots in the previous year? Do those just not exist?
Then they ran a Pride Month music video where the whole cast was parading around in rainbowy outfits saying it's cool to be gay and all that, then a couple segments later they had a Lil Nas X performance where he was literally having a gay orgy in front of the gates of hell while statues of demons looked on. Not a religious or even socially conservative dude and even I was taken aback by how in-your-face it all was.
I know SNL has always been political, but this was something else. It was like a full-on propaganda movie. It's the first post-2017 SNL episode I've watched (besides the Sydney Sweeney one) and hoooooooooooooooooooooly fucking shit. Made me more ill than I already was.

Growing up, we never had snacks or crap in the house, and the only sweets were home made cookies. No chips, no bags of science project foods. No soda. Vending machines at school were turned off during school hours.
If you ever get bored, buy some of this shit and take it home to sample it. Get frozen and unfrozen ready made meals that appeal to the lazy demographic. It really is amazing how much of supermarkets have been taken over by this garbage...and how much of it doesn't even taste like real food. People have gotten used to it, and think nothing of it. Also try some of these new flavors of Doritos or other chips....it is all science project Frankenstein trash.
In non Clown World, most of this stuff would be declared unfit for human consumption and made illegal to sell.

Invited friend over to hang out and his kids to play with mine.
Hours go by things are great. They beg to spend the night. Great. Order pizza, plenty of options for everybody. But the dude is like, I'll make your plate and you'll eat what I give you. Kid was like but I just want cheese, you gave my sibling cheese but not me that's not fair. And the dude hyperfocused on that, two stubborn people dug in ruined the night and they left early.
There was more than enough to go around.
WTF was that. My kid was unimpressed

At some point between last night and this afternoon, a spot about 2 quarters in size on my mouse pad decided to just...melt into my desk. Rustled by needing to buy a new mat, but more rustled at wondering wtf even happened to it. It wasn't the sun, since I keep the blinds down and angled up when I'm not in the office, and I can't think of anything else that would decide to say "fuck this exact spot" particular.
