#venting — Public Fediverse posts

#venting

I find it remarkable how #Microsoft have managed to turn #Office, their flagship productivity suit into a smelly trashfire.

I credit the "#AI revolution" and a culture of #VibeCoding. Product #quality has gone thoroughly downhill as result.

So happy I don't pay for it out of pocket and I wish the organizations I work with would seriously consider transitioning to alternatives.

Feeling really frustrated and overwhelmed lately. The job hunt has been tough, and dealing with the lack of protections for medical cannabis just adds to the stress. It’s hard to stay motivated when I’m constantly exhausted and feeling like I’m not good enough. The loneliness in this struggle is real, and it’s taking a toll on me.

Sometimes it's ok to be #smug about some things. The world tries to make me feel like the weirdo constantly, so here are some things I've never done, in no particular order (#rant): owned or used a selfie stick, used twitter, instagram, snapchat, tiktok, ordered from amazon, "created" something with "AI", had a youtube account, tried to appease an algorithm, fretted re: brand name clothing, had Windows or cable TV as an adult, broken my vegan diet, voted conservative.

#OilAndGas emissions in #Utah a threat to public health, report says

#Pollutants released into the atmosphere with excess #NaturalGas create smog and endanger public health, especially in #Duschesne and #Uintah counties.

by Anastasia Hufham, Oct. 21, 2023

"When natural gas producers waste gas and emit #methane in Utah, it’s not only the economy that suffers, according to a report. Air quality, public health and the environment lose out, too.

"'It’s not just methane,' Ashley Miller, executive director of Breathe Utah, told The Salt Lake Tribune. 'It’s other hazardous #AirPollutants that we really care about for public health. When you have a real serious air quality problem in these areas, there’s people living in these areas, and we want to protect human health as much as we can.'

"In 2016, the report says, air pollution from the oil and gas industry led to eight deaths per million, as well as 1,040 asthma exacerbations per million among #children.

"Oil and gas production sites emit what are called volatile organic compounds, or #VOCs, according to the report, when companies release natural gas into the atmosphere through #flaring, #venting and #leaking.

"Volatile organic compounds create ground-level #ozone, better known as #smog, which is a major public health concern in Utah. The report notes that volatile organic compounds in smog can worsen respiratory conditions, like #asthma, and even cause #HeartDisease. Also, #benzene, another pollutant released during oil and gas production, has been proven to cause #cancer.

The report was published by Synapse Energy Economics, Inc., a research and consulting firm; the Environmental Defense Fund, a nonprofit focused on finding solutions to environmental pollution; and Taxpayers for Common Sense, a nonpartisan watchdog group that advocates for the responsible use of taxpayer dollars.

"The report states that Utah’s #FossilFuel producers released 16 billion cubic feet of natural gas in 2019, and 87% was lost from wells leaking natural gas due to faulty equipment.

"Duschesne and Uintah counties — where 85% of oil and gas wells are concentrated in the state — received F grades from the American Lung Association’s State of the Air report this year. Those two counties cover the Uinta Basin, where the #Uintah and #Ouray Indian Reservation is also located.

"'We really understand the importance and value of the fossil fuel industry in Utah, especially to those communities where it’s really the only source of revenue and jobs,' Miller said.

"Petroleum production in the Uinta Basin isn’t slowing down. The oil industry is booming in Duschesne and Uintah counties, and statewide oil and gas employment grew by 16% between 2021 and 2022.

"Emissions from oil and gas production also have concerning environmental impacts. Oil and gas production is a large emitter of methane, a #GreenhouseGas more powerful than carbon dioxide, which is the largest component of natural gas.

"The Environmental Protection Agency has issued a proposal to reduce methane emissions by ensuring that wells are checked frequently for leaks using monitoring equipment. The proposal would also require companies to continue monitoring wells for emissions until they are plugged after production."

I couldn't log into this account on Ivory, so I reset the PW, thinking I'd saved it wrong. But I still can't log in on Ivory, and my account stayed logged in on this app.

This has to be the dyslexia? But I've started over 3 times. I hate how confused I constantly feel when I'm trying to solve tech problems. My brain still works, and everything still makes sense upstairs!! So why can't I interact with the world around me, without feeling like my brain has gotten me lost? 🧠🤬

Hand tools vent. Maybe this will save someone some grief and #expense if they find it with a search.

Wiha - great drivers & bits. Love 'em. Well-machined, good tough tool #steel.

But their needlenose pliers? Rubbish. I have a set of full-sized needlenose, plus their "micro" set. With both of them there's too much slop in the joint, so the jaws are never quite aligned. I don't recall if they were bad right out of the packaging, but I certainly noticed it within the first handful of usages. I have the full sized "standard" / linesman-type pliers as well, but you don't tend to notice slop because of the much shorter jaws.

Wiha's micro-needlenose pliers are no better than - or even noticeably worse than - #cheap #Chinesium ones I have.

Save your money.

Got startled by a few snobbish carfucks again causing me to almost crash while accelerating to 18 mph rapidly

Ended up laying on my scooters horn

It was supposed to be a calming ride and it was until they yelled out the car "AAAAAA HAHA" at me while I was passing by and they were at a traffic light

Next customer to touch me for any reason is either getting their head put through the window or everyone in the restaurant will hear me yell about it, even the dishwasher all the way in the back.

People need to fucking learn to not touch anyone, especially strangers, without explicit consent.

Typically, drillers burn the #gas they don’t capture, converting the #methane to #CarbonDioxide, a less potent #GreenhouseGas, in a process called #flaring. Sometimes, they release the gas without burning it, in a process called #venting.

The permit applications showed #oil companies requested to flare or vent >195 billion cubic feet of #NaturalGas per year, enough to power >3 million homes & generate millions of dollars of tax revenue had the gas been captured.

Regulations are crucial for reducing #emissions.

"The NSTA started benchmarking #flaring performance in 2020 and the following year issued guidance stating that all new developments should have no routine flaring and #venting, with zero routine flaring across all North Sea platforms, whether new or existing, by 2030 at the latest."

Being connected to two fields that have been dealing with the replication crisis in science for a very long time now, it's fun to watch other areas getting drawn in and going through the stages of grief.

Apparently cell biology has entered the "it's just you guys that suck and we're the real scientists!" phase of the process. 🙄

Always fun to meet a True Scotsman. So few of those around these days.

No shortage of these words in my husband's woodworking studio most days (venting, venting, venting -- where is that drill bit, etc.) and I'm increasingly familiar with the F-word when things tumble off my coffee table or end-of-chaise stack of 'stuff' and paperwork. (smirk!)

Seems like #venting and pretty #clueless all the way round, since the only real tool we have is #impeachment, and no one in this survey, let alone #NYT editorial writers, will even mention it. Looking in vain for any coverage about yesterday's disgraceful episode involving #AOC and #Raskin bullying #Thanedar https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/05/15/opinion/focus-group-democratic-voters.html

*Philosophical Somethings from a Rambler*
_Part 5_

Writing my frustrations is easy,
Yet enunciating them is difficult.

Everyone should have a journal
Just to write about issues.

That would vent much steam
And cool our warming planet.

Tie your hat, this is going to be a fun ride.

So I go to take my shower. While I'm taking it, I hear a bizarre sound in the bathroom. I peek around the curtain and sure enough, the toilet is bubbling. The water level does not seem to be rising, so I just laugh it off.

As I shower, I notice that the shower drain seems partially clogged. Okay, I'm going to have to plunge it.

After the shower, I start plunging, and I plunge, and I plunge. I plunge to the point that I'm thinking I may need to buy a snake to snake it. (I've lost my snakes in the divorce.)

Then I remember the bubbly toilet. I decide to flush it, and sure enough, there's a clog. So I decide to plunge the toilet, and bingo! I've unclogged the toilet and the shower drain at the same time.

Don't ask me how it all works behind the scenes. I've done some plumbing and I know about venting, but I don't design plumbing. Going to the toilet was just a hunch, based on the earlier bubbling, but it worked! 🥳

I enjoy a retro hobby or two (#retrogaming mostly) and a lot of retro #music, but when someone says they genuinely miss the 80s and 90s *as a whole*, I view them with suspicion. Like, were you just not affected by the incredibly pervasive bigotry back then (yes, it was worse than today) or were you an active participant?

The use of #NoReply addresses ( and #ShortCodes instead of #PhoneNumbers ) should be illegal as in:
- Lifetime ban for using Computers and Phones
- Life no less than 25 years of jail

If you - as a business or organization - can send me a message, you owe me the ability to reply to you in the same way.
- If you can't even be assed to add a "reply-to" address, I consider you a spammer.

arghh. i tried to make a new FB account to keep blank just to see stuff during the rare times there's something to see, and annoyingly they rejected my completely new not-logged-into account as violating community standards. wtf?

i may have to reactivate my old account and just delete everything then...

What makes sense to a computer software program oftentimes has absolutely no basis in the reality of the streets. To demand changes to the more logical, efficient, and most importantly, SAFER routines developed by the people who perform the actual job just to make arbitrary numbers?

I want to go to my local writing club, but I don't know if I necessarily have anything to write about today.

And because the alternative I have presented myself is that I'm going to stay home and have a perfectly fine evening here finally getting to clean my house and have dinner, it feels like I have a good alternative, at that.

I'm devaluing it at the moment, however, internally because it isn't "outside". I'm socializing with people on the phone today though and making progress on things that have been bothering me that I haven't had done so I think I need to just take it easy.

Oh good, the provincial budget got rammed through this morning and it's just been announced that electricity rates are going up.
