When you get a pet, you also know there'll be implicit heartbreak. It never gets any easier, especially when you know it's coming.
Car ownership is fun, but it's the maintenance costs that'll get you in the end. Had a failure in my tires cost me $700 yesterday.
So... Russia has unilaterally pulled out of Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions of 1949.
Today I found out: the lab has locally-run livestreaming Smooth Jazz and 90s R&B radio stations. It's gonna be a very mellow work day.
My coworkers let me do open literature research whenever I need a day's peace. Today it's Explosively Pumped Flux Compression Generators.
