#TIL that most highway exits in the US correspond to the mile marker 🤯 meaning exit 174 is close to the 174 mile marker never noticed that all these years this is a very ingenious way to label exits imo. well now i know...

my macbook was crashing randomly so i sent it for repair. might as well do it as my apple care for it was going to expire got it back today and they essentially replaced everything. the logic board, keyboard and battery i would say i've got my money's worth from the apple care

alright, trial for YT premium is ending. i'm continuing the subscription but just for watching YT. the YT music app was a pretty subpar experience. it has all the songs and all, just a clunkier app imo. resubscribing to spotify today.

but arguably the thing i missed the most is continuing music to another device. i never realized how frequent i was switching music between multiple devices.

i have started going out and meeting people in the past few weeks and i have felt both energized and mentally stressful at the same time. meeting new people is hard, especially since i haven't done it in like 5 years?
