Abstruse Goose returns with a warning
I had to click on the page again to get the live panels to receive keypresses. I feel like the "3 years later" is a comment on my performance in the graphing section, but it's not.

Ricklantis Mixup
Watching "The Ricklantis Mixup", with the Citadel of Ricks election/takeover, rather than any political shit from this shitty timeline.
What to Watch When You're Watching Nothing
Dealing with family medical stuff this week, every damn thing has been piled up, I get zero time to work or play. When I can finally sit down, can't concentrate on a real show.
Netflix has "Slow TV: Train Ride Bergen to Oslo", 7 hours of a train through cold wilderness and tunnels. I just wish the town signs didn't BONG and the conductor would shut up at stops. Drink my coffee, try to read this Elmore Leonard book, this could be really peaceful.
Between interruptions, I've made it 105 minutes down the track in four days.
I tolerate but dislike cold, but I think I'd like Sweden or similar, out in the boonies with nobody around who speaks English or wants anything from me. ☕️??
Books

Computers Aren't Bad or Good
- Computers aren't bad or good, they're just machines.
- Programs aren't bad or good, they just do what the programmer typed.
- Programmers are bad.
Coke Is It
Status: Coke Is It.
(why are there no Coke/Pepsi/Generic-Brand Soda emoji?; answer: Cup With Straw was added, but my obsolete Sierra and iOS 10 installs can't display it)
CS Larva
CS Larva
My first infinite loop was summer, age 10, only because I hadn't seen a computer until the year before. My pre-college computing skills were 90% self-taught; LOGO class at ~12 and a year of "comp sci" at 14 were minimal. ⌨️?
Autolayout
The best thing about not doing iOS dev anymore is never again having to touch an autolayout constraint, the modern GridBagLayout. ??
Intel
Intel's garbage chips aren't safe on OS X Sierra. Apple doesn't understand how passwords work on High Sierra. I'll just unplug my Mac now.
The Humans were still out Humaning around
It was nice and dark, so I foolishly went outside, but the Humans were still out Humaning around. Took me twice as long to run errands, and saw one wreck and one near-wreck. Last time I make that mistake this winter.
