Yesterday here in Charlotte it was 75 degrees and sunny.

Right now it’s 35 degrees and we have snow flurries.

That’s Charlotte weather for you - don’t like it one day? Wait 24 hours and it’ll change.

I take out my trusty Discotek License Prediction tool once again. It has yet to successfully function since it’s just a coin that on one side says β€œFuma Conspiracy HD with a Tony Oliver crew dub” and on the other side says β€œProject A-Ko in 4K.” I ready the coin and flip it but it may land in a truck

A sad update from the β€œoperating table” as I was doing a bit of maintenance today - the battery connector got nicked out and it’s completely stripped.

It’s dead and I now need to get a replacement motherboard.

The for-sure "surgery" was also a success, even if modern macOS is a bit buggy when trying to restore a device 16 years older than it.

But it worked with an older 400GB microSD card and I've got over double the original storage in this thing now.

Now to try and fill this sucker up.

The surgery was a resounding success.

And the test playback works perfectly.

It’s a big night tonight.

I have prepped my miracle $70 7th gen iPod classic, β€œGolden Boy”, for what I call β€œiPod brain surgery” - and prying this thing open with its aluminum faceplate today was PAINFUL.

But I did it. And now the work begins to replace its (presumably) dead hard drive.

Did Moses not say unto the Heavens β€œLET MY PEOPLE PUMP!” and we now have to pump in fear?

Or maybe that was Charlton Heston who said it that one time. Either way, let the pump go free. bsky.app/profile/cjze...

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be… for a moment, anyway.

Had to do a double take but my eyes are not fooling me.

Star Wars… on AMC. Turns out they can air good movies on the channel after all.

And when did AMC get those rights from Disney?

I work in a hotel (back-end stuff) and we have what’s known as β€œthe 15-5 rule” where you should greet guests if they’re 15 feet from you and say hello to them if they’re within 5 feet.

It’s not the greatest thing but it’s a small pleasantry so it’s fine.

This… is NOT that.

And so ends another Charlotte FC campaign.

Maybe next year will be the year.

One hopes that John Roberts realizes that if he grants an administrative stay allowing the government to starve 40 million people, that SCOTUS will take whatever remaining shreds of legitimacy they had and light them on fire.

Maybe when the AI bubble explodes and all of that investment money gets wiped out.

Look out for broken windows and people trying to fly.
