Picture of Arizona green tea cans at a has station

Did you know there's different versions of the Arizona cans? Circle K has a version with their logo on the rim. Shell still has the $0.99 ones!

“Feel like getting a sweet drink but don’t want to spend more than a dollar. I haven’t had Arizona Ice Tea in a while!”

Sucks that Parsec is basically broken while AWS is having it's problems. Good thing Sunshine isn't affected

Sucks being on vacation and get added to a group chat of people that are trying to figure something out. I'm watching the blind lead the blind, and it'd be SO easy to just grab everyone's hand and guide them straight to the answer. But, I'm on vacation, I shouldn't be reading anyways

Overhead the other day...

If someone asks you "are you in line?" what they actually mean is "would you please do better at standing in line?"

(Having endured an errand afternoon yesterday, let me tell you, it hit.) 😂

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Pre-tired for the day.

An opened can of Japanese Apple Fanta

Tried some apple #Fanta for the first time today. It's pretty decent

Engine bay of a 2023 Mazda 3 Turbo. It's a mess of hoses and wiring.

An engine bay only an engineer could love.

Probably going to remove all the Prometheus exporters since I switched to using Telegraf+InfluxDB

A Trabant in a McDonald's parking lot in Germany

Videos don't always do justice to convey the size of some things. Got to see a Trabant like @agingwheels.bsky.social has, it makes my Mirage look like a monster truck

Good news! I saw my first Dacia Sandero while in Germany. James May would be proud

Burning bridges is not a negotiation tactic

This is like when I plug two phones into each other to share the charge

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. ('The Princess Bride' - 1987)

The tariffs are "paused."

flash drives are so big for so cheap nowadays that it actually fucks me up. i don't want to put a single text file on a 128gb stick. it's too big. the file is going to get all rattled around and dinged up if i leave it in there by itself

Expanding the drip irrigation to the new trees, and the future planter that will be along the block wall. Good thing it rained recently, this ground is so hard

For International Women’s Day, I wanted to highlight Wendy Carlos, a composer that helped pioneer synth/electronic music in the 60’s/70’s and lent her talent to film scores such as A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, & Tron.

A funny flowchart for preventing carpal tunnel syndrome. The "NO" path shows an incorrect posture with slouched shoulders and bent wrists at a computer leading to more pain. The "YES" path humorously suggests "Running into woods. Never to be seen again" as a solution.

USB-C:
🚀 we created one cable to replace all!

🤖 oh ya each cable charges at a different speed, and others do data, there's also thunderbolt! and don't forget video...

⁉️ tell them apart? no they all look exactly the same! even your computer can't tell you the difference! isn't that great!

Every citizen who is forced to enter name/email into a form to access public wifi has a duty to make up something breathtakingly vulgar.

Towing with a compact SUV? Sure, tons of people do it, as long as you know your limits and your vehicle's limits (which, sadly, a lot of people don't and take on way more than they and their vehicle can handle)
