Braving the worst of Vancouver weather to head downtown for the second night of LumièreYVR art

I was told this would be a SkyTrain Hallowe'en party, but it is in fact a Canada Line Halloween party, and I would like to pursue a claim under false advertising laws.

Stages of working too late:

1. I'm the last one at the office.
2. Rush hour is over.
3. The local pizza place has closed for the night.
4. The last SkyTrain heading inbound tonight is leaving King George in 35 seconds.

I am *very* disappointed with how screen readers handle this (or rather, don't, at all) 😢

Current ſtatus: Toꝛn between wanting to ſpell "thꝛough" with an R rotunda oꝛ "þrough" with a þoꝛn.

Is þ round enough to permit an R rotunda, as "þꝛough"?

Today's the Myst 25th anniversary, and while Myst itself wasn't the most impactful of the games, it's no exaggeration to say that the Myst series is directly responsible for my career path, several good friends, and countless memories.

Thank you Cyan, for all that you've inspired.

Someone told me about RTLSDR-Airband today, and this looks pretty close to exactly what I've been looking for: https://github.com/szpajder/RTLSDR-Airband

Looks like I'll be able to listen to multiple radio frequencies, put them in different audio channels, record them to mp3 files for archiving, and potential set up to stream them via Shoutcast online.

Me: "Behold my unfinished masterpiece-in-progress"

Coworker: "Is this also a giant fire?"

Me: "No! ...This is more like a beautifully intricate, artisanal... heat source >_>"

Why did I even leave the house?

It is raining so hard that in the span of a block it has gone through my rain jacket, and my pants are wetter than when they come out of the washing machine. Excellent way to start a shopping trip 😣

The past 10 days have been a series of compounding disappointments, and I worry that this is just a build-up to much larger disappointments that I'm already bracing for but really don't want to deal with ☹️

I did basically nothing this weekend, and I wish I felt more rested or relaxed for having done so.

On the bright side, I'm slowly getting better at accepting and (mostly) not beating myself up about not being productive or accomplishing anything.

Well, Gnome 3.30 makes my ArchLinux installation totally unusable, so back to 3.28 it is I guess :\

Every breath I take
brings my tooth to ache
my filling was displaced
in a cleaning's haste
now it hurts to chew

Ugh because the slots are siblings but the slotables aren't 😭

Specifically, in a component with two slots, `::slotted(.first-slot) + ::slotted(.second-slot)` doesn't seem to target anything :(

Aww, my overcomplicated #CSS #WebComponents #ShadowDOM experiment failed due to `::slotted()` apparently not working with sibling combinators and other slotted elements 😞

Why are humans such a consistent source of disappointment? 😞
