Lol, thatās relevent this morning. I interact with a lot of 20yoās. Iām up, had a coffee, checked my email, studied for half an hour and posting on discord by 6:30am. Meanwhile theyāre responding to me or texting me hours after Iāve been asleep.
I check GoA when Iām having my morning coffee, I notice @meep is often on here even before I am.
Funny, but unsettling as well. Willem Dafoe in Pretty Woman. Hopefully the link works.

that is creepy. [shudder]
I wake up at 3am.
I usually play logic puzzles for about an hour before I do Wordle.
I donāt remember where I heard about Scottās Cheap Flights, but Iām on their mailing list. Today they sent out an email about updates to travelersā rights and how there are now fewer exceptions. The last one made me laugh out loudā¦literally:
It does not matter if:
- Your ticket is marked as non-refundable (e.g. basic economy)
- Itās on a foreign airline flying into/out of a US airport
- Itās not the airlineās fault (e.g. a global pandemic or bad weather)
- You bought your ticket through a third party (though they may charge you a processing fee)
- Your flight is on Spirit
Iām a big fan of Scottās Cheap Flights, Iāve booked several great deals with their emails.
Does anyone actually say their access to the internet is limited? I generally say my access to email and voicemail is limited, because it is intentionally limited by me (this is the quiet part).
What does āURBAN SPEECH BUBBLEā mean? Is there a joke there that Iām too old to get?
I usually say itās really Stuās vacation and Iām having to look after our autistic son. Also, Iām not taking my work laptop and I donāt have a smartphone.
I used to, when I worked for a company that expected emails to get answered when I was on PTO. I once took a bike ride across Missouri in part due to the fact that I couldnāt bring my computer, and there were long stretches with no cell phone service.
I donāt work there anymore. Current employer understands what PTO is.
Yeah, if I donāt take my work laptop now, I canāt access the company anything. I refused to allow the software the company wanted to put on my phone that would allow them to wipe my phone so I could have access to the company network/email from my phone.
I used to be able to access my virtual machine from my personal laptop via a vpn but it doesnāt work that way and Iām less likely to take the company laptop on a personal vacation so now if I go on a personal vacation, Iāll be totally unavailable for work. If Iām going on a personal trip to visit my grown kids somewhere I would probably take the company laptop.
My vacations are beyond the reach of normal internet. I donāt do warm sandy beaches. I donāt do āfunā resorts. I donāt do tourist sights. All my kids are grown and donāt need ice cream every evening. They actually enjoy my excursions into the void and happily join me. Iām not getting a satellite phone or something crazy so I can have internet access.
The 80s called and I will be answering that call.
