  • Someone – I don’t know who – claimed I had broken into a classroom. I had not. They could not prove I had. There was no clear motive. Just an allegation. I felt like the principal had an axe to grind with me throughout high school and in hindsight my attitude and responses like, “I don’t want to be here at all. Why would I break into a classroom that I have zero interest in being in?” probably did not help.

    Ended with me getting a three day suspension. My parents seemed to think the whole ordeal was really stupid. If they doubted I was telling the truth, they didn’t say it and I didn’t get into any more trouble at home.



  • 1.) Everything is a “smart” device. Household appliances, as a general rule, should not be connectable to the internet or require an app.

    Cheaper components, poor build quality, and lack of user serviceable parts are the primary reasons your washer and dryer last 10 years compared to your parents Maytag set that was still ticking away after 30. Cheap, unnecessary electronics, which don’t have as long a lifespan as mechanical timers and switches, only exacerbate this problem.

    2.) Cordless tools as a means of vendor locking customers.



  • Possibly the cruelest irony of adulthood is that autonomy comes with a shit load of terms and conditions.

    For instance, I could eat cookies for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day if I wanted to. But it would result in diabetes, obesity, and eventually death. So yes, theoretically I could do it. But not if I want to live for very long.

    Damn shame too because I have a weakness for chocolate chip cookies.
