I’m doubling-down on my physical media collection and forgot how DVDs/Blu-Ray include bonus content. I love that I can watch the animated movie along with feature-length storyboards and avoid subscribing to another service. 😍

I wanted to run today but I was too tired. Here’s what I did instead: I ran anyway and tripped on the trail twice and cracked my phone screen.

local eco/health food store selling "The Good Crisp Company" pringles alternative but upon closer inspection non recyclable packaging (pringles is now recyclable) and uses palm oil (pringles uses sunflower oil) 🤦

these days im quite content for people to be wrong on the internet but in this case its a community im cultivating and i know a lot of people there are just learning programming for the first time

i love that thanks to the bizarre shape of airpods i can never tell which one goes in which ear or which side of the case first time
