The Daily Parker

I'm looking ahead to two long rehearsals, three performances, and squeezing into my tuxedo, all while the temperature drops over the next six hours to a predicted -9°C. I conclude from these facts that it's the beginning of winter.

I also just spent the last hour trying to get Visual Studio to log into the correct Azure subscription. So instead of reading these things at lunch, I had to let them pile up:

• The UK High Court ruled yesterday that Uber's business model is unlawful, saying ride-hail services do fall under a 1998 law regulating car hires.
• Thieves in Canada have learned how to use Apple AirTags to target high-end cars.
• Michael Tomasky takes issue with Ron DeSantis' push to "freedom us to death."
• Pan-American Airlines ceased operations 30 years ago Saturday.
• Maybe teaching student pilots better safety habits overall would prevent the engine-out forced landings we simulate in training.

And now, back to the mines.
