Supervised my father's cooking of the feast for Thanksgiving dinner so that it meets the standards.

I also practiced tattooing with body markers. I have almost a full sleeve.

Either way, it was fun.

I received my package from yesterday's shopping trip. It was a bit heavy. But it happens.

I at least have Dad's gift.

It became increasingly obvious that it could be be denied no longer...I am smol...(4'11"...I am shorter than my mom now, but not by much...)

Had an hour-long vendetta against quick-dry craft glue for a spesific project (never using that mess for anything plastic-bauble-y again), and ended up resorting to a glue gun. The glue threads did cause some extra mess, but at least those were a bit easier to remove than the craft glue stains (and it dries in seconds)...

Mostly happy with the result, though. First time I'm trying to make this kind of ornament, so was expecting some trouble.

(The craft glue is handy for a lot of other projects, just not plastic, or stuff that moves a bit too much while putting it together).

Saves me the hassle of cleaning up the feed, and is less likely to link my preferences to my Google accounts (goodness knows what that hellscape corporation is doing with information these days - last thing was that they're letting AI browse your mails or some such)... Plus, not logging in keeps me from commenting (probably a good idea at times ).



I don't log in either but I still end up with piles of crap in the recommended section.

Case Oh is a channel I watch all the time. It would make sense that my feed would be all Case Oh videos. Nope!



I've never watched Spongebob anything, I've never looked up how to build a cabin, played Minecraft, ect.... It's YouTube AI puking out whatever it thinks I might click on.

Try turning off YouTube watch history via your Google account... it's located in Data and Privacy tab. Next time you enter the site the home page won't be full with video suggestions. But other suggestions like these probably gonna be still existent .

Additionally for the annoying ads I use Opera browser that have build-in ad blocker (even for the YT ads).

Even I'm not logged in via Opera, YT still shows that my watch history is turned off...maybe because of the ad blocker idk.

If I don't want to be bothered by the "junk" i the recommended window, I just make the view window bigger (with the "movie mode") or smaller (shrink window so the recommended section pops down below the video instead), depending on whether I have another open window alongside it. Means I don't have to constantly look at the recommended videos. I also turn off autoplay (for some stupid reason it's nearly always on by default).

Personally, I'm avoiding logging in, and let the browser clear my history/cache when closing down, so what's in the recommended section probably is based on the last viewed content creators/videos. The recommended ones seem at least somewhat related to whichever videos I've watched that session. As for Google, there's frankly no reason why a lot of the options and settings shouldn't be accesible even when logged out - and in my opinion, a lot of them should be "opt in via account," not "log in to opt out."

If you use a script/ ad blocker, you should just be able to block the element. So you'll never see that recommendations panel again.

So, I found out a package that was coming on December 8th, is arriving today.

Along with a Saturday delivery.

So far, so good.

With the items I was waiting on, I can go forward with sorting out my room.

I am not dreaming about things as much at night. My daydreams are another thing.

Waiting on one large shipment for my archives.

I currently have been working on the archives of video entertainment from the 1990s to 2005.

It's a huge undertaking, but I loved the challenge.
