I love the sound of popping bubbles.
Might switch browsers just because their caching is too aggressive. I added a rule to my DNS allowlist, but it’s still blocked. Even the Dev Tools “Disable Cache” doesn’t work. It’s nonsense.

Real talk: The biggest sign of economic collapse is all the young people selling their vinyl collections to afford moving, buying a house, etc. If the people who were spending money over and over have caught on to how bad it is, it’s bad.

AH yes, we needed another Instagram account to exist in the world that doesn't know how to use quotations correctly.

My work makes us sign annual “telecommuting agreements” about % in-office work. Yeah, I don’t follow it at all. It’s pointless. It takes 1-1.5 hours to get there, to sit in an empty office with 0 decorations, 0 of my coworkers and 1 less monitor. Yeah, that’ll make me productive.

Finally booting up this machine I got for free so I can get it out of my office. Likely just goin g to take the BR drive to my main tower and sell the rest. I wasn’t into PC gaming during this time period so curious to see what it’s all about.

TIL that a CMX protocol exists, used exclusively by Colortron. Running a show in a board old enough to drink.

Tehe. TLOU can also serve to heat your room in Winter. Not great in summer though. My office went from 90.5 to 95.4 F just now. #TLOU

Ah the joys of The Last of Us Pt I on PC. Just have to start it 20 minutes early to build shaders.

Tried to help someone hook up Venmo to bank via Plaid. Holllyyy. It’s a marketers wet dream of data being passed over. Name, address, phones, account age, account balance, available credit, everything. Like an instant amazing profile on you.

Just noticed this in PlexAmp. Will need to investigate, but amazing feature. You have control over the shuffle algorithm. So if you hear a song you were really in the mood for, you can keep it going.

Spent the night learning to use my sewing machine with my Mom. I had got it 90% of the way from YT videos, but bent the needle so I held out to be with her. Next task, print a 40” pattern somehow.

Today's goal: Un-upgrade my 3D printer. Tried selling it with the upgrades thinking people would like that I put in all the hard work of setting it up, doing calibration, etc. Nope. Everyone just wants a cheap printer. Upgrades will be sold separately.

Went to join Twitter Community Notes. Can't "Haven't had an active account for more than 6 months." Uhhh... maybe you should talk to your own API?

The first place I've found that recycles fluorescent tube lights charges $3.25/light. This is why they need to be banned. No one is driving somewhere and paying to have them taken. So people are putting them in the trash, and now we have a bunch of random mercury in the soil/air

Tasks in the next 11 days: 1) Study for/take the CKA. 2) Revert my 3D printer to stock and sell. 3) Clean my office for CKA 4) Run lighting for a local theatre troop. 5) Prep house for third baby. 6) Survive? Remember to eat and exercise?

It's been so hard to sit quietly on this, from the time I heard the rumors about the suspect, until this official announcement. Now can all of you "popcorn racists" talking wreckless about "SF crime," be quiet? Let Bob's loved ones celebrate his life. missionlocal.org/2023/04/bob…

Scale of 1-Cringe. How do you rank posting “I completed the course ‘Critical Thinking and Problem Solving’” on LinkedIn.
