Fireworks are pretty damn cool. Timed explosives that shoot other timed explosives into the sky that then explode in pretty patterns?

Pretty cool.

"the internet is a series of tubes"

"well, actually, it's kind of maybe a parallel of tubes, it's not like everybody everywhere in the world is waiting in line for everybody else to do things before they can do things"

In Vancouver and there is a fireworks festival tonight, and pride fest tomorrow. What could be better?

Update:

I met THE cutest little darling who stole my heart, and their name was AVERY! We played dress up, watched some movies, and had a blast together. And then...

I fell in love with their Mother. Quite possibly the greatest two days of my life, without a doubt. Just when I thought I'd be my faith in humanity was turned upside down in the best of ways.

Truly, and even if I never live to see tomorrow, I can finally say - it IS better to have love, than never having love at all.

my games industry employer at one point rolled out screensavers to all staff that displayed a clock

except the clock would change colour once the screensaver was running for 5 minutes, so that managers could tell at a glance who was overrunning their legally mandated breaks

Tuning a violin requires much less knob-turning than tuning a guitar. Or a ukulele.
