These are neighborhoods with 17K–22K residents per square mile. Aside from being a disproportionate response, they are intentionally terrorizing people who aren’t involved.

stopping all physical activity when I had a child probably wasn’t the optimal move.

Rate my day-off shopping purchases.

Like an extreme dumbass, I remained on an overcast beach for hours with no sun protection. 🍳

I also had a realization. When you are on a road that borders a river and are looking for access points, every time the river snakes close to the road, the water current is such that if you got out of your car, you’d be faced with a steep bank and fast water. You want the other side. Maddening.

eeyup.

I took the day off for a North Cascades hangout/camp with my friend. When I got there he immediately had to bail because his daughter got injured back at home. So instead I went on an all-day joy drive and fished creeks, Skagit and Sauk rivers and ate Dairy Queen. it was a very good solo day.

day off driving around on the Eastside. bushwhacking around various urban ponds and lakes.

we have a puppy. i have been cleaning up so much poop. there’s work going on in the yard where he normally goes. so now he’s only comfortable, apparently, going in the living room. the vile odor is burned into my subconscious memory and i can’t tell if i’m currently smelling it.

that’s all for now!

"[video game] as a community theater production" may be one of the most delightful Veo 3 Fast prompts

If Amazon had a regex search we’d be able to filter out brands like JOMRTS and DAVBIR. (Of course, it would just be a moved goalpost.)

UI copy that tries to sound down-home and friendly but was negotiated and strategized into existence by a team of 20 highly paid designers … is a pet peeve of mine.

Is this Google Sheets stock theme inspired by John Fahey Voice of the Turtle?

The FoundationDB paper from 5 years ago was a long-game marketing psy-op for Antithesis.

when I was 13 in boy scouts I discovered a 1-gallon zip lock of white powder in my fellow scouts backpack and I brought it to the scoutmaster as potential drug dealing evidence

Tell me your team is entirely comprised of over-confident twenty-somethings without telling me your team is entirely comprised of over-confident twenty-somethings

1970s musicians would have been well advised to not name a track by the same name as the album for search engine/YouTube disambiguation reasons

we used to respect the computer

Questions you can always ask in an incident review:

What made this particular incident hard to deal with?

What skills helped the responders diagnose and remediate?

different than a block storage volume? (EBS, persistentdisk, …)

Whoa! Big move!

if i eventually favorite this post it is not because i delight in your getting sick.

Glad to finally be awake. So much of the last 8 hours was spent… just… asleep. 🙄

I read that as it brings up a random context menu due to a driver misconfiguration. Same benefit. 😀
