“you can close your move ring! take a brisk walk!” i’m IN BED you stupid blinking trinket

i’m sorry everything is bad and i can’t fix it all.

if your first thought is “ooh we could make a Slack channel for this!” maybe wait around for the second thought to arrive.

we have gone directly from dry eye relief eye drop season into allergy relief eye drop season

technology is pretty awesome.

i wanted to look up some specs for my pickup truck. i knew i had a photo of the sticker inside the door. i:
- searched Photos on my phone for 'Ford' and found it
- copied the text of the VIN out of the image
- pasted it into my reference note in Obsidian
- got back to my PC where it had synced, used a website to decode the VIN
- found some specs in metric
- copied them into VS Code, asked copilot to convert them to imperial units & format them in a markdown table

@marcamos filthy ligatures

@beep @hotdogsladies i think these go to the same person who receives the message when you mis-type your root password

spent some time organizing the new (warm!) shop. installed a tonneau cover on the pickup. met our new puppy. it’s been quite a day.

@threetonesun help i’m trapped in a programming language factory

@threetonesun is this a job posting or a cry for help

65.1mph gust last night at 12:34am at my weather station KNHRINDG5 #NHwx https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNHRINDG5/graph/2024-02-28/2024-02-29/daily

@m750 i feel this every time i hear the news, like we lost someone from our team who couldn’t escape from the force pulling down on them, pulling down on all of us.

and i think how different a world could be if we still had dolores & kurt & elliott & chris & jeff & tim & robin and so many others. we’d take it for granted—we wouldn’t know otherwise. but we’d still have a chance to let them know how they make us feel, and hope they could turn our love into strength to help them resist the pull.

@marcamos that’s Fab

@hotdogsladies i made all my poster art in poster shape and then what did apple do with movies :(

it’s so cool that we can (mostly) put magnets in/on/near computers now. decades of built up baggage around this is slowly dissipating for me.

@m750 i gotta get up there and drive up it again

@jerzone something i’ve been intrigued by (i may be attracted to the very slight elevation change ;) https://eriecanalway.org/explore/cycling

my watch: “10% battery remaining. low power mode”
me: relatable.

@sbourne i have worked with so many developers who claim to be “full stack” who then say “i don’t know anything about out CSS” well goodie, i guess each of us gets to decide where the “stack” becomes “full”

@jerzone you did the tram!

the script for your SSRI won’t auto-renew. you send a message through the app asking if you need an appointment.

“just call the office…”

@jerzone also not specifically transit related but i was shocked to see a tram go overhead once https://rioc.ny.gov/302/Tram

@jerzone i don’t think you can pass through the abandoned city hall station anymore without being a scofflaw. but that would be quite cool.

@beep ‘slash you’ seems kinda threatening

@caseyliss so you’d say when it comes to Apple Vision Pro, you’re … a big fan?

@Meyerweb web216 4ever

@revmem agreed. my trash is all currently frozen solid in my shed

@caseyliss will you add photos of feet for @hotdogsladies

another of my favorite shots from my NYC trips.

@hbuchel is this what the execs want us ‘sharing’

dearest ‘well-meaning’ project manager: every time you ask me a question about something unrelated, the time for me to deliver this feature increases by 30 minutes.

please choose your questions wisely, consider:
1. am i the right person to ask?
2. could someone else answer this question?
3. do you need an answer immediately?
4. is the answer to this question more important than completion of the feature i’m working on?
5. could this be done asynchronously e.g. via email?

@jerzone wait i may have figured it out! not ‘here’ but ‘there’

@jerzone i, too, am still trying to figure out the magical incantation to make it do that also. like “search within the visible bounds”

@irafcummings you plus it, or you … and add it to your liked songs. it’s super weird. but if you tap the album art and view the “main” play window you get a plus and a minus

@fred @irafcummings what about the one with dwayne johnson’s head, The Rocktopus

Modest Mouse suggests the existence of Boastful Mouse

@annika i read this really quick and thought you said Residential Tentacles Board

@waxy didn’t CGP Grey cover this? :) https://youtu.be/pUF5esTscZI

@mescutia hot take!

@hotdogsladies “corn be heavy soon” that’s what they say

lights in snowy woods.

do not high-five your sliding compound mitre saw.

@revmem (ha!) hey it works out syllabically

@revmem … just like Cheddar …

nobody got my joke, but this is why i sing The Cure songs every time i make a dairy-free sandwich

as difficult as it was to do this project (and my previous truck projects - new bumper & grille, painted both) i’m really not afraid of paint projects anymore and i’m also semi-okay with blending metallics (though i prefer my next car not be metallic. nor the one after that. and every one after that.)

You
Soft and lonely
You
Lost and lonely
You

finished painting my repair of my quarter panel today.

i showed my kids Weapon of Choice and i’m trying to think of a Christopher Walken movie i can actually watch with them
