Daughter is complaining about going out on the boat today. She's tired. We are leterally going to drive around a bit and then sit in a cove and relax. It's not a f-ing row boat! She has to do zero things for the duration of the time out there.

Example #1287 of enshitification: ordered @dominos for the kids. Per delivery app the driver has been sitting at the same spot for 25 minutes. No notification from the store as to why. Call them and they inform me the driver ran out of gas. Wtf

Has anyone ever actually had a @Garmin sleep score that was actually positive? I feel like it's would say a 3 day coma is "Shorter than ideal, non-restorative"

Just swung by @Lowes and they had random wrenches on sale. Bought four 10mm ones. Lost them all by the time I got to my truck in the parking lot. IYKYK.

Had to install some skateboard deck tape on our doors as a way to help the dog trim his nails. Now my phone is having a hard time reading my finger prints to unlock it. Fun times!

I hate that @Microsoft has dumbed down their os to be like apple. I just want to have a standalone laptop that doesn't need a email address and microsoft account associated with it.

What’s the German word for: when the fancy donut shop I usually go to finally makes the Dunkin’-style donut my youngest always wants—saving me the drive to Dunkin’—but that’s the one day she decides she wants one of the fancy shop’s donuts instead.

I am so sick of the enshitification of software and websites. Our HSA website reloads anytime you input info on the page. Every time it starts a chat pop-up. WTF.

Midway through the summer, my oldest decided she wanted to play tennis at school in the fall. We started playing every morning. The has brought me an insane amount of joy. Today was the last day of summer tennis. She has already said we have to play every day next summer.

And this is why I hate flying @united First flight from SYD to SFO canceled after waiting 3 hours but my luggage sent on a different flight Make it to LAX thanks to @Qantas LAX to CLE on @united now delayed because the pilot is stuck in traffic. Amateur hour over here.

Saw these all over Sydney last week. Mistook it a time or two for a Lightning. From 100m away the side profile of the lights is basically the same. Imitation is flattery? @ford

Dear Lady Operating the Terminal Transfer Bus at LAX If you respond to people with full sentences instead of quick noises, they wont have to ask you two or three times. Sincerely, Everyone.

Currently in Singapore. Why does the rest of the world hate ice in their drinks so much? It has not replenished the ice in 2 days. The whole tray is smaller than a piece of paper.

This trend where I have to beg AI to do its best work is absurd. It should output the best the first time, not on the 6 time of me saying "I know you can do better than this."

Hey, @grok, who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn't need to be mutual, don't tag them, just say who it was.

Spotted at the Harbor Freight, a spot known for high end tools. @alexfor

I know @DOGE is all about cutting government waste but I have one study that we still need to perform: why are married women incapable of breaking down cardboard boxes. Furthermore, is this trait common in single women?

This was a first. My last name was called at the airport gate. It was for another Purves. In 42 years, I've never met another Purves outside of my family. We are not related.

Went to the Cleveland Autoshow specifically so we could sit in some @GenesisUSA cars and their entire display was locked down. Total miss on their part. Couldn't sit in a single one to see if our family fit in them
