windows 10 will be officially dead by october 2025

Tue 2025 Jan 28

Did you know Windows 10 was originally released July 29, 2015? At the time I write this, that was nine-and-a-half years ago. And if you didn't know, Microsoft's official end-of-support date for Win10 is October 14, 2025.

I made a New Year's Resolution to stop eating the garbage, and so far it has been going mostly well.

i don't like the taste of straight water
Tue 2025 Jan 14

I do drink water, but in order for me to get past the taste, I have to "put my mind aside" for a moment, then chug it. The only time I don't have to do that is on really hot days where getting water in my system is more important than the taste of it.

The rest of the time, I've had to come up with inventive ways to add flavor. This is what I've tried:
