  1. Stayed up too late coding (or modifying WP site to function properly)... spent the rest of the night tossing and turning thinking about webdev code for the first time in a long time.

    Sleepless night ended with a dream of my old mentor giving me the tough love treatment as work production system is waiting on me and he refuses to turn his back or help.

    Just like the old days 😵‍💫

    #dream #nonsense

  2. I often wonder if #brewers and #linguistics both love #IPA?

    You know…b/c….

    …International Phonetic Alphabet…
    Indian Pale Ale…

    (look out…it’s an early sick day and I’m lobbing these beauties with zero sleep)

    (what the hell was i searching again….)

  3. Switched our oven to #metric!

    omg this is how we get thrills around here 😆 (…SO is not 100% on board)

  4. @EllenInEdmonton Sorry, I have to circle back and read things fully sometimes…. congratulates on your fitness journey!!! Losing 20 lbs since last fall is vvvvvery impressive! 🙌

    I hope you feel proud and amazing about this! 🤘

    #badass #fitness

  5. But probably the proudest workflow I found for myself using #bulletjournal (aka #bujo) and my #dicebaby game is by labeling my todo list in a simple .txt file and using #Nano syntax highlighting to organize importance.

    Not perfect by any means…but grabbing all the good #ADHD qualities from The Bullet Journal, as mentioned by author Ryder Carroll but searchable and easy to transport, as argued by Derek Sivers (ref: sive.rs/plaintext).

    Plus you won’t have to opt-in to those expensive up sell dead tree bullet journals taking up shelf space.

  6. Wife: Should we feel bad able missing the #Artemis2 launch?

    Me: I know there was a bunch of parents that regret not missing the #Challenger launch. 🚀 💥

  7. #NPR’s Up First podcast this morning:

    “Fox news asked Trump directly what does winning this war look like?…

    He said the US already won the war…militarily.

    Then he went on a 5 minute weave that included: insults for 2 top democrat leaders; complaints about election being stolen in 2020; discussion how much he dislikes Fox news polls; the success of the operation in Venezuela was; more about polls; ending with saying he’s protecting America from lunatics with nuclear weapons. Early in that cabinet meeting he also spent 3 mins and 27 seconds talking about how Sharpie pens are cheaper and better than the fancier ball point pens used by previous Presidents.

    All this while America is at war and the average price of a gallon of gas is bumping up to about $4 / gallon.”

  8. My wife is watching Love Is Blind Minneapolis E1…and this one poor girl has lost her voice and I’m dying!

    She can barely form sentences and this dude is falling for her hard and she honestly just needs a day off so she can talk again.

    Dude: You’re like such an angel…I was like sooo excited to talk to you again…I was journaling about you and couldn’t stop thinking about you

    NoVoice: *bert…ahhh*…taNK u…*cough cough*…

  9. RE: mastodon.hongkongers.net/@cbcc

    What’s missing from this story is #WFA.

    Every level is expected to cut, reduce, and snip “non-essential “ services…or remove services altogether b/c #RTO3 and upcoming #RTO4 have nullified any IT professional that can work #remote for another team or private sector.

    Expect more of these stories and trends.

  10. need some real intel….what’s a good #Nigerian dish to try for first timers?

    For example if some was curious about Indian food it’s be butternut chicken, Thai food it’d be Pad Thai….what’s the Basic “B” intro dish?

  11. @David Keep using the words #enshittification and #bootlickers

    With all that is 😎…it has to start off as grassroots and the cool kids.

    When I did preached about the fedi alternatives an old college friend said, “yeah checked it out but didn’t really have a lot of people or reach” which I “jerk store” later in my mind…. Yeah it doesn’t have all the sucky people (yet).

  12. A couple came to door convinced there was an open house. They had the wrong street and wrong house number. We have only the same exterior. Simple mistake or trying to case the place?

    So is #Wyze a good ring cam?

  13. We’re a NOGO to see #NOBRO in #TO tonight due to weather.

    If you’re #punk and in #Toronto and want 2 free tickets to see an amazing all female punk band that may have even won a Juno…..DM me!

  14. I spent a day on and off troubleshooting my #Ender 3 v2 to get the damn tugboat benchy to finish…turned out the new bowden tube was unable to handle 220°C. About 15 mins into every print the end would over heat and the filament would break and clog up.

    My mistake for blindly trusting weird looking part just b/c I bought it “locally”.

    Old short bowden tube working like a champ 🤦‍♂️
    #3dprint

  15. #3dprinters do you know what that tube locking thing is called and have you ever had to replace on the regular?

    Tube came loose during a #benchy.

  16. Devil horns to for ending the work week! 🤘

    youtu.be/6A-flxZH3v8?si=W0XT83

    I recommend taking a look at the lyrics! Very relevant these days.

  17. To any peeps out there… do you have any PARMLIB monitoring at your shop?

    I’m bothered by this one statement from Long Pela’s February 2023 Quarterly:

    haven't produced a single utility to validate z/OS PARMLIB settings.

  18. The 🐒 and I drove around checking out a few local , we ended up swapping with 3.

    A nice little adventure and bit of research before launching our own. 🚀 📚

  19. Jr. is obsessed with … so naturally he (w/ a little help) re-created a scene.

  20. Recent weekend conversation….

    Boomer: My generation really will never get these new pronouns and that trans stuff.

    Me: Well let’s wait it out.

  21. I’m in a unique situation of receiving newsletters and announcements from both my employer and union regarding return to office mandate (aka aka “prescribed workplace presence“)

    And no where does either make suggestions for the second vehicle my family now needs to get.

    Should I drive my family deeper into debt for a reliable bells and whistles commuter car or a reliable 10yr old 4 cylinder with low mileage?

    my stress level has an uptick over this between mounting work

  22. So I clicked on a Naloxone ad on Reddit and received a free “ spray” kit for opiate overdose (we have same issues in our city).

    I thought it would be a good idea to carry in our vehicle…but have to admit I’m overwhelmed the kit came with needles and vials as well. Guess I need a first aid course after all.

  23. Proud of the progress of my zombie latex mask clay setup for the mold I might tackle in the new year.

    Still learning how to do fine sculpting details, but having parts is handy.

  24. I’m sure there’s a scientific name for the sound of ice echoing across the surface of a frozen pond….other than “cool sounds”
