A quotation from Judith Martin
We are all entitled to our little harmless habits, Miss Manners believes, but we are not entitled to demand approval for them.
Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a. Miss Manners]
“Miss Manners,” syndicated column (2010-05-07)

🫤 Unexpected: when scrolling an HTML element, the exact value of "scrollTop" depends on the browser's zoom level! Don't rely on it being an integer.
The expected behavior is to have a 1px resolution for scrollTop (or 1/devicePixelRatio, to be precise, which is the minimum step; setting scrollTop=100.1 will be rounded to scrollTop=100).
But at 110% or 90%, the values are not integers!
There'a a slight (not a bug but a) quirk with iOS's Health software. If you change the schedule for a medication after having taken that day's medication, it duplicates it for the new time and you can't get rid of it. You are forced to skip it, thus looking inaccurate.
I have this funny #quirk where when someone says my name out loud when they were just conversing a second ago, I jump suddenly, look forward, and then, suddenly normally, look at them.

I noticed a funny #quirk in my #brain. When I'm chewing something, my #InnerMonologue follows the chewing and I can only think one syllable per chewing motion. I suppose that is because when you speak, you have to produce the syllables at the right speed for your mouth to follow and the jaw movement from chewing somehow triggers this mechanism...
Anyone else notice that too? I'd be surprised if this was a rare thing.

I have been wondering why autocorrect has been flagging my use of the word "agreeance" lately, so I asked ChatGPT. Apparently, the word agreeance fell out of common usage by the 18th century, so now my claim of immortality is sounding much more plausible.
For reference, autocorrect has precisely ZERO issues with words like "countenance", "amiable" or "visage" (from Jane Austen's era).
Does #autocorrect often try to regress your comfortably learned vocabulary?
A favourite at Indie Comix Fests: PORTALPETTAI by Avakkai & Chukka is a portrait of a diverse South Indian community and its resilience in the face of an alien life force intrusion. In the sequel TROUBLE IN PORTALPETTAI, the gang goes to visit the Geargleplex! And in SAMUDRA RANI & THE MAA-LEES, a group of gardener robots are marooned on a distant asteroid, centuries in the future...
