I'm thinking this is something to which I'm particularly over-sensitive.

But, a thing I've been learning over the years is that dealing with things I'm sensitive to - and taking them seriously, even if they're small and maybe princess-and-the-pea precious - lowers my overall stimulation level and keeps me further from my brain going TILT on any particular day

@swansonite Yeah... that is very tempting and we do own our own, which has forced me to be pretty handy

@benbrown Huh, for a second I thought that was just H-mart 😅 @hiro

Went for a bike ride today and got stuck behind a Cybertruck going 5mph for a block or so.

Just kind of doodling down the dead center of the road doing a little swervy indecisive thing before suddenly lunging to the left to pull a uie. I had to stop and wave and kind of walk my bike off to the side to let the royalty pass

Was tempted to take a picture, but glad I didn't because apparently I needed to keep my wits fully engaged in the presence of such a beast

@benbrown adding to todo list: "h-mart shopping trip to reproduce ramen wall at home" @hiro

@kissane This was such a good talk!

Sudden urge to get a trail camera to point at our jack-o-lanterns in hope of catching squirrel diners (i.e. to admire, not to deter)

Using MyFitnessPal again to log food and exercise. This is... not a good app. And it's gotten worse than when I used it almost 10 years ago.

I think I might have tweeted something snarky at Ed Yong years ago during early COVID times and now I feel bad about it like something embarrassing I did in Jr High

@willb I'd say it was maybe half-and-half? I've had maybe a half-dozen sightings here in PDX so far - not sure how many were the same vehicle - and they often seem unpredictable like canadian moose

I've recently settled on an annoying combo of Strava and MyFitnessPal to track food & activity, which seems to work but only marginally better than pen and paper.

Just trying to have another go at applying some mindfulness to portions and activity - because I very easily forget things like "reasonable portion size" and "how many snacks did i have today" and "did i actually move much today"?

@willb I would not say these are unreasonable precautions

Actually leaving the house again tonight with the girl to go see the Blonde Redhead show here in #pdx
