Very much so.

I can't believe Walmart closes at 11. We used to be a real country.

I'd settle for new seals and regreasing

I want one of those sexy engine tear down and rebuild ASMR YouTube videos but for my right shoulder.

I'm at the age where sleep is a nightly negotiation with my body.

Can't wait for HOV PCIe

The beeping about a seat belt when the car is started, not put into drive, which all new cars do will never stop annoying me. It's hot. I'm hitting the button that turns on the AC before *anything* else and this is, frankly, dumb. Many reasons to start a car and never leave Park.

I am the Squidward meme today.

We got a Jira CLI!

It's all AI.

Day one of my 3 month trial and OnStar has successfully accomplished 0% of the things I have asked of it. <Insert Chevy joke here>

Implying, incorrectly, that I knew I had to support Windows when I took this job.

I will never take another job that involves developing for Windows.

Periscoping over the cube wall with my phone because I'm too lazy to stand up.

We are on minute 3 I think of windows debating my password? Deeply unserious operating system.

So let me get this straight. From my phone, I can configure the "Favorited" radio stations in $newcar but I can't even *see* what the A/C is set to, much less modify it?

Austin Systems Programming A meetup for curious low-level engineers in Austin, TX. We meet in-person monthly.

Announcing austinsystems.org, a meetup anyone who wants to learn more about how software works. We'll meet in-person every month. First meeting is August 19th. Hope to see you there!

I don't want a true vanity plate, but I wish I could request a normal one that is also a valid instruction for the architecture I work on.

It's also not just "carry a weapon" it's "want to be seen carrying a weapon" as a social signal in many cases.

I don't see all knives as the same here too. Conspicuous front pocket clip, 4" blade, locking? You want to carry a weapon. No clip, no lock, in pocket? Tool. I cut more threads off clothes than I open boxes, but it happens.

I carry the knife I do because it was a gift from my great uncle. Otherwise I would carry a small multi tool.

The NEC* is like fashion. You have to know the rules so you can break them with intention.

How did closet rods come to be 1 5/16"?

It'll be on sight for the guy that made Dawn Free & Clear lemon scented.

I should not start a drunken fight about wire gauge at 3am.

Running a breaker bar in the morning and an ascot in the afternoon

Quitting my job to sell 6/3 Black Black Green no ground THHN "romex" by the foot.

Why can't music release with the lyrics on Spotify?

Tired: 24 browser tabs
Wired: 24 tmux sessions

I've never had to sober up to go home from an 11am hair appointment before.

You good buddy?

Why is it so hard to find a yes/no/yes/sometimes?
