Random Thought: With Twitter (aka “X”) talking about collecting even more data (link to Ars Technica), now seems like a good time to export my old Tweets, remove the Twitter apps from my devices, and import said data into Micro Blog.

Yet another reason why I won’t invest any time, energy, or money into the Google ecosystem: Google kills two-year “Pixel Pass” subscription after just 22 months. 🤣

As predicted, my banking account is “locked” and I need to call customer support…and the wait time is estimated to be 57 minutes. 😤

Just realized the bank holding my mortgage has changed their customer portal (their term, not mine) for the third time since I became their customer. 😔 I’ll wager a cup of coffee they screwed up the migration of my user profile again, which means I have to call them. 😭 #FirstWorldProblems

Random Thought: Sipping on my first and only pumpkin spice latte of the season. ☕️🎃🍁

Listening to the Keeping Up Appearances: The Luxury Podcast on the drive back to the City today, and my goodness, this is hilarious. I love the banter between the two hosts. 🤣😆

Somebody paid for my order at Starbucks, first time that’s ever happened to me. 😀 I returned the favor for the person behind me in the line. #PayItForward

Huge shout-out and Happy Birthday to my Dad, he turns 70 today. 🎂 If it wasn’t for him, I never would have made it through my early adolescence, nor would I have become a software engineer without his influence on my life. Love ya Pops. ❤️

Finally yanked out the GPU from my UnRaid server and set up Plex to use Intel Quick Sync; pleased with the results: far less power used and better transcoding performance. 📺🎬 I can now go to sleep a happy geek. 😴

So very tired of New Egg using my number to text me sale spam. Really wish it was possible to sue companies for using numbers given for 2FA to send sales crap. 😮💨 Solution: created a burner Google Voice number and now all that crap can go there. 🤣

As a grown-up Nintendo kid, I was worried about the new Super Mario Bros. Movie b/c those games, living up to that legacy is a huge task… That said, after watching it…wow, that movie is good. The music was absolutely fantastic, mixing themes from the games and the 80’s, it was prefect. 🎬

Not only did we loose all the refrigerated / frozen food in the house but the cat peed in the office… Oh, also, my oldest UPS finally kicked the bucket during the storms that knocked out the power. First days back from vacation are always the worst part about vacation. 🤣 #FirstWorldProblems
