Huh I did not realize how cold the rest of the US could get.

The length of a long ride is approximately however long it takes to start having delirious conversations with yourself out loud

There's something about the way that chatgpt formats text that immediately makes my eyes start skimming.

It's November 5th so it's time for my annual rewatch of V for Vendetta

Noticing a new trend of using AI generation for food reels -- food bloggers no longer need to actually cook the recipe I suppose 😅

Got sick the past few days; watching my HRV plummet

Petition to institute library rules at airports

The Naked Gun was great. Makes me want to go watch Airplane!

Lighting forecast for this Saturday for Canada - lots of lightning over BC - WA -OR-ID https://meteologix.com/ca/model-charts/euro/canada/lightning-density/20250907-0000z.html

Duff Moisture Code for Canada for Sept 6 - shows high dmc values over parts of western canada https://cwfis.cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/maps/fw?type=dmc&year=2025&month=09&day=06

Double Yikes for BC wildfires
Lots of lightning this weekend in BC (& WA-OR-ID) after a very long hot & dry period. Fuels are receptive (Duff Moisture Code is high - means very dry fuels where ltg fires typically ignite). If the forecast holds, I expect 100-200 new fire starts during Sept. 6-9 in BC

Tell me you didn't put enough resources on standby over the long weekend without telling me you didn't put enough resources on standby over the long weekend.

Wait a Linux meme? I thought you posted about housing 😜

hello it's me your CEO texting from a number you've never seen, I need 46 gas station hot dogs for an important business deal no time to explain why

I recently bought an SMR drive thinking "how bad can SMR actually be?"

Guess which one is the SMR drive 😅

Nice. Yes lots of great patios and metro.

Where's this? Amsterdam?

Lol

Map of North America showing active wildfires (marked with red flame icons) concentrated in western Canada and parts of the western U.S. Colored circles indicate current air quality: green (good), yellow (moderate), orange (unhealthy for sensitive groups), and red/purple (unhealthy/hazardous), with poor air quality across the central and eastern U.S., especially around the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley.

Wildfires continue to burn across parts of the U.S. and Canada again, and air quality has dropped from "moderate" to "unhealthy" again for millions of Americans Thursday (lasting through the weekend).

Here’s a quick 🧵 on how climate change is part of the smoke story 🔽

In a world where corporations milk IPs for every cent it's a privilege that we get three dexter spinoffs and all of them are actually so good.

3 more drives. Home lab is up to almost 40TB

Friendship is like a 1hr40min long Tim Robinson sketch. Amazing.

There's a surprising amount of people selling their used hard drives on FB marketplace for more than new hard drives cost.

So fun to race the Vancouver T100 today!! Finished in 3:58:52 and in the top 25 overall which I'm pretty happy with 😁

Every time I pass an ebike

She Hulk is such a weird show. Almost like a superhero movie intended to spite people who like superhero movies, marketed at people who like superhero movies.

I really want to like Threads but it is filled with SO MUCH engagement bait.

Screenshot of a white and grey map in LensVx with an ignition point in Kenna Cartwright Park in Kamloops. The UI has Fire Intensity and HRDPS weather model selected. The ignition point is surrounded by a small cluster of pixels in orange and red showing little fire growth during the 8 hour burn period.

Screenshot of a white and grey map in LensVx with an ignition point in Kenna Cartwright Park in Kamloops. The UI has Fire Intensity and Kamloops Heat dome historic weather selected. The fire spreads significantly across the majority of the park from the ignition point as shown by a large number of red and dark red pixels.

#Kamloops had a little #wildfire this weekend that was quickly brought under control 🙏🏼

1st image is what LensVx shows for the potential growth of that fire (assuming no action taken and burning for 8h)

2nd image is if it starts on June 29, 2021 (peak heat dome).

Looks like MS is trying out the new copilot lol

The second was so great. The first was good but lots of rough edges. The second learned from them and set the ground work for one of my favorite gaming trilogies.

Ah, we've reached the stage of home lab where I begin benchmarking kernel IO schedulers.
