Oh and more weirdness, I only have a printed boarding pass for the first leg, there's no boarding pass available in the Alaska app. I have to get the next boarding pass at the gate in Seattle.

Also the Alaska app shows I have a first class seat on the American Airlines leg, but it can't show my seat number, but also AA says I have premium economy. Clearly some wires were crossed.

I need to figure out what shenanigans @TripActions pulled with my itinerary that caused the security check to reject my ID, and the @AlaskaAir lounge agent to have an extremely confused look on her face after scanning my boarding pass.

I mean to be fair, this sounds like the basis of all advertising
Everyone on social media should know about the Illusory Truth Effect
If you see something repeated enough times, it seems more true. Multiple studies show that it works on 85% of people. Worse, it still happens even if the information isn't plausible & even if you know better.

The spring in our dishwasher door broke today and I had no idea how heavy dishwasher doors are without that assistance!

Features I want in door hardware:
* always unlocked from the inside
* always locked from the outside
* single keyhole on the outside
* momentary unlock with a key
* 12V DC momentarily unlock
* operates as normal when electronics are down
I'll wire it to the smarthome separately

I have no reason to leave twitter because my twitter is already just a shadow copy of my website, but if you want to find me elsewhere, you can follow me from Mastodon and micro.blog and others:

I'm trying to pick out doorknobs and locks for the house and it turns out I have a lot of feelings about how doors should work

so... @AlaskaAir recently redesigned the exterior paint of their planes, and now most of the stock footage on StoryBlocks is out of date. But I'm noticing some other stock websites have more up to date clips. what's going on?

October is cybersecurity awareness month.
Okta is a cybersecurity company.
...coincidence...?

why are there always too many lens cleaning cloths when you don't need them and not enough when you're actually looking for them??

Today I worked on budget spreadsheets, planned out all of next year's travel, went grocery shopping at two different stores, restocked the pantry, emptied the dishwasher, and cleaned the sink.
When do I get my adulting trophy?

of course, it would also be tied into my home automation system so I could surface that data on other devices around the house.
I'm imagining an esp32 with OLED screen and a nice push-button switch. Pretty sure I could fit that into a neat 3D printed case.

I had no idea these "time since last opened" pill caps were a thing and also so cheap, and now I want to make these for all sorts of different reminders, like
• when did I last feed the cat?
• when did I last pump up my bike tires?

For the past month, I've had a fragment of a song stuck in my head, and haven't been able to figure out where it's from. The Foundation theme reminds me of it.
Finally, tonight, I remembered it's from a bizarre Swedish commercial I saw years ago.

I just got to scare the crap out of some kids who were climbing around my construction site by triggering a 12v siren from Home Assistant, and watched the whole thing on the remote camera feed! It was oddly satisfying, and I hope they get the message not to come back.

After downloading all the different resolutions Flickr has, it turned into 255gb on disk. Not bad, would even fit on a thumb drive.
Here's the source if you want to try this yourself!

I just finished downloading my whole Flickr account to a static website. Now browsing around it is much faster than looking at the same photos on Flickr, and it makes me want to get back to actually organizing my photos again!
