Chef once told me "mise en place is a way of life". I'm still living it. Very similar to ant mode.
sillyapple··on Passenger Uses AirTags, Discovers Airline Donated Their Bags to Charity
For US domestic travelers, check a firearm and see how much more attention is paid to your luggage. Some airports will have someone come out at baggage claim with your bag/firearm case and check your ID before handing it over.
sillyapple··on Companies use drip pricing to overcharge consumers

sillyapple··on The Art of Command Line
For a good PowerShell experience I use https://starship.rs/ which includes git info. I use the new windows terminal with the font/colors/etc set just so. For a package manager I like using https://scoop.sh/ and for anything missing there chocolatey usually has it. Good luck, there's more good stuff out there but it's hard to find.

sillyapple··on The toll of dating app burnout
I was diagnosed with alopecia universalis at 25, lost all hair, it's also a genetic thing. Balding sucks. I can guarantee there are women out there that will not care about your hair or lack thereof.
