I got a one of those fancy magic keyboards for that one fancy tablet a little bit ago. Wasn't cheap. However, I upgraded to the new model, and since this one is 11" instead of 10.9", the damn thing doesn't fit. Wankers.

The Wolves lost a game I say was closer than it looked, and the Wild won in a much more convincing fashion that I could have expected.

Okay, okay, I got sucked into that one popular podcast about the Roman Empire. It's pretty good.

Some of you may have noticed that the management likes to match the image to the post subject from time to time. I'm always amused when I check for something weird and it already exists.

Got a bit of a mishmash of holidays today.

I didn't have to use them much, but I'm so glad I don't have to use laundromats anymore. Most of the places I lived had it in the basement, or even better, a few doors down the hall. I don't know why I disliked it so much. Maybe having to go back multiple times to accomplish only one annoying task? It's not a huge thing, but I'm glad I don't have to go inside each time I see one.

Opening your phone and wondering why you did so is the new going to a room and forgetting why you went.

The water heater that came with our house has been a champ. I'm a little embarrassed to tell you the year it was installed actually, but though not on the top of its game, it's always been at least serviceable. The last place we rented once had a water heater emergency that I'd like to avoid (and that's also the last time I remember being able to call an owner and say, hey, take care of this; I miss that).

Anyway, two questions:

• Name a current or former Twins player that's never been outright good, but has at least been goodish now and then, but also never outright bad. Bonus points for someone that maintained that until the end of their career.
• Uhh, any recommendations for a natural gas water heater replacement? Again, it's working "fine", but better to replace before it's a problem. I have no dog in the tank vs. tankless fight.

Work is making the move to Windows 11, and since I'm one of the "techy" people (I use that term extremely relatively; I am just compare to the rest in my office), I'm a part of the trial group making the switch today. I've been clicking the ignore upgrade button for a long time now on my home PC, so we'll see how this goes. Whenever MS makes "improvements" or "upgrades", they always get rid of a lot of simple but very useful functions in the process. Can't wait to see how much of a pain is the new version.
