Boooolean logic

Six panels of Venn diagrams of an orange pumpkin with black marks for a face.
Trick OR Treat - a pumpkin of two intersecting circles showing the face.
Trick AND Treat - only the center part of overlap shoes any face.
Trick XOR Treat - the center part is black, otherwise normal.
Trick NOR Treat - the entirety of the two circles are black. The outside is orange.
Trick NAND Treat - the outside is orange and the overlap section is black, the other two show face.
Trick XNOR Treat - Outside is orange, the center shows face, the two circles are black.

I just got over my addiction to chocolate, marshmallows and nuts. I won't lie, it was a Rocky Road.

When leaving a restaurant, they often ask if everything's OK. For like 20 years i'd say, "We're still fighting in Afghanistan". Then Trump decided to get us out of Afghanistan, though the execution was botched in many ways. Now he's talking about dragging us back into it.

Alaska just got wrecked by a typhoon and we barely hear a word.

Funny how they gutted the National Weather Service a few months ago…

now we’ve got no real updates while an entire coastline floods.

Great job, government.

When Prisoner from Azkaban came out, got the soundtrack & played it at our front door for Halloween.

I don't drink anymore. I also don't drink any less. It's true. I finally stopped drinking for good. Now only drink for evil. Speaking of coffee, everyone who drinks coffee in the morning is psychotic. You know what the world is like, and you're like, I want to be awake for this!

Also thought it looked familiar, but several places from San Diego to Portland came to mind. Pelicans, though. Possibly more to the south. What do i know. Michigan is 500 miles from an ocean.

Just reminded of this basic truth.

Meme:

I don't drink alcohol,
I drink distilled spirits.
Therefore I'm not an alcoholic,
I'm spiritual.

But i get it. Texting is no reason to drive when less than at your best.

Another English lesson. Why do we need these? Oh, b/c the average American 10 year old child has a 10,000 word vocabulary and functionally knows 10,000 rules of grammar. It only gets worse with age.

Meme: Know the difference

Much, much worse than alcohol is driving while texting.

I hear that in car simulator tests, being high on MJ is not nearly as dangerous as alcohol. Still recall learning that everything i thought i knew about alcohol as a kid is wrong. What weird is how it's pretty hard to figure out what it really is, given that it affects different people differently.

Money Quotes @moneyquotes.bsky.social · 14d

The first stage of wealth: stability.
The second stage: security.
The third stage: freedom.
Skip the flashy stage.
That’s the one that keeps most people broke.

@ravenmae.bsky.social On the one hand, Sisyphus humor! Great!

On the other hand, I’m sorry if this just reminds you of your illness. 😞

Michigan has a whole town devoted to Christmas, every day, every day, every day. Imagine it's New Years Day, and they're like, "It's only 358 days until Christmas. Come and buy stuff."

No idea. It's legal now. I can't think who should care.
