It’s nice when board game boxes include an insert to keep things organized.

Gridfinity is a great solution for games that don’t.

100%! You were brilliant at it. Glad I got to work on it with you

A rouge secunit and a bunch of hippy space scientists are coming to save me? Yeah I’m going to be alright. Probably. Maybe.

Three people walking a dog on a Kyoto street

Walking a dog in Kyoto, I realize bike lanes are actually the wrong approach. So are sidewalks. Instead, build transit so no one needs to drive or ride in a car. Then you can have narrow streets without on-street parking where everyone can use the streets

I'm still in the exploring phase, but so far it's been good. It might not make sense as a Synology replacement for common home use cases. With ZFS, you can't simply expand your RAID by adding an additional drive, for example. I like the flexibility of being able to run it on any hardware I want..

Mini computer rack with colorful computer keyboard in front of it

Twenty people died in Rafah this morning and every major news outlet is stretching the limits of passive voice to suggest whole families may have leaped up through the air at missiles that otherwise had the right of way. I just got a notification that my student loan payments are starting up again and my phone isn't charged. My cousin got COVID for a fourth time and can no longer work or walk or even feed himself. The person across from me on the L train seems to fashion themself a punk rock revolutionary, but they're not wearing a face mask, and that's the kind of cognitive dissonance that makes me want to steal batteries. Fascists keep winning primaries for both parties, and I think I gained a few pounds. The CDC just announced there are no more speed limits on highways, and I think this Ativan is finally hitting. The NYPD farmer's market only sells bad apples, have you heard that one? Listen it's warm today, too warm for March. But I don't have time to think through the implications because there's laundry to do and a
