@tomasekeli I haven't done any coding since 2000. Has anything changed?

All right, Universe, I'll try to be less cranky. You're asking a lot, though.

Whole house smells of gas, had to evacuate as a precaution...but I think the leak is in our snow blower. Something cracked at -30 C last night.

End-of-year spider report.

Also got a couple of salticids, because they're beautiful & adorable.

Wait. That sounds like a New Year's Resolution. I don't do those.

Spiders are fed. Their homes are all clean (they're filling them up with cobwebs fast). I got one of four lab benches scrubbed and organized. I think if I just do one a day I can plow through and get the lab totally tidy & clean in short order.

Welp, it's a spider day. Gotta transfer my colony to clean vials, feed everyone, fret over egg cases, coo over the babies.

Every day should be spider day!

@wolfie We'll find out! It's an experiment!

SCIENCE!

My wife read that spicy foods help with pain. So I made a nice hot curry for her.

I didn't tell her that the way it works is that it gives you new kinds of pain that tie up the pain pathways.

The moderate truth:

What would you say to the president if you encountered him?

Watched Bandersnatch. Enjoyed the premise for a bit, but after a while felt like I just wanted it to end, and where's the path that will get me out of this thing?

Worried now that there will be more interminable games like this on Netflix.

I'm happy to see she's joining the science team at Starfleet.
