declaring insomnia bankruptcy. can't just be in bed anymore. the good news is that i have had this thing i've wanted to hack on but work has been too busy for me to carve out time for it.

new potted plants in the apartment just dropped

i got the litter-robot-4 when it went on sale on chewy

i did not know one robot could serve five cats. simply incredible.

this was the most surprising part of it. the worst part of a litterbox was having to declare bankruptcy and change out the whole thing. so far, after a few weeks, i've not had to do it. you just have to replace the small bag at the base that collects the used litter clumps.

it's not just the lack of scooping, but also that there's no need to "change out" the litter as far as i can tell. because it automatically cycles after each use, the litter remains pretty clean at all times. you of course need to occasionally add a little bit of litter to keep it at levels.

if you're on the fence about getting a robot litterbox, do it. it's lifechanging. there's close to zero maintenance compared to what i was doing to keep my apartment clean and smelling nice.

similar to jasper. he’s infinitely long but looks shorter here.

i love those huge ears 😻

nice dutch oven, too. i got my first enameled one a few weeks ago. it's very cool.

jaderemedy • 4h ago And now comes the most nauseating part of this whole goddamn mess: the hypocrisy. The same loud-mouthed idiots who spent years screaming about tyranny are suddenly dead fucking silent, or worse, cheering, now that it's their side doing it. "ThEy'Re cOminG fOr OuR gUnS!" "GoVerNMenT oVerReAch!" "ShAll nOt bE inFrinGeD!" All that chest-thumping bullshit evaporated the second armed federal agents started terrorizing people they don't like. Let me get this straight: a civilian gets shot dead by federal agents, and the only thing you brainless cunts can muster is "well, DHS says he had a gun"? THAT'S your red line? Guns are sacred when they're strapped to your waist, but magically become a death sentence when they're used as a post-hoc excuse by the government? Either the Second Amendment applies to everyone, or you never believed in it at all. Fucking pick one and own it. This is exactly what tyranny looks like, by the way. Not jackboots marching in formation, but armed agents roaming neighborhoods, stopping people, killing civilians, and then daring the public to question it. Tyranny is execution followed by a press release. Tyranny is labeling the dead a "threat" so the state doesn't have to explain why someone's life just ended in the street. Tyranny is demanding obedience while shredding due process and calling it order. And all you so-called "freedom lovers" are fucking fine with it, as long as it's brown people, immigrants, protesters, or anyone you've already dehumanized. Turns out "don't tread on me" actually meant "tread on them." You weren't afraid of tyranny. You were afraid of losing dominance. There's a difference, and this moment exposes it completely. "Just comply" isn't a principle. It's cowardice dressed up as common sense. It's the language of people who have already accepted that the state gets to decide who deserves rights and who doesn't. And once you make that deal, don't act shocked when the line moves, because it always fuckin…

as i'm vibecoding a hackernews tui app that i've wanted for a while, i have observed myself periodically telling claude code about things that i hate, like the 'Application Support' folder that stdlibs seem determined keep alive forever.

"she's gone" wrecked me unexpectedly a few times last year

the cats are starting to use the automatic litterbox . praise unto the lord.

Stella the bicolor tabby is sitting inside a cardboard cat house and scratcher shaped like a little trailer camper

My husband isn't prone to impulse purchases but I'm glad this thing got him

working on my reverse sear, this time with a picanha steak. temp needed to be a bit higher on the sear but not much.

your voodoo works on me too

writing up a small proposal to the tech community to allow "orthogonal" to be part of the common vernacular without the "i am very smart" feelings that are usually felt on the receiving end.

next year almost certainly!

logitech let their server cert expire, and the logitech options software that must be running for your mouse to function properly won't run unless it can get a connection to the cloud. please clap.

there's a patch you can download in this thread www.reddit.com/r/LogitechG/...

it’s a shame you can’t trust even basic timer functionality with alexa plus anymore. they have incredibly made worse one of the best uses of these devices.

let the new tenants above me know about the thin floors and it went about as well as you'd expect. i was extremely friendly but i guess some people just suck.

statistically it's very unlikely that 2026 will be worse than 2025. i'm filled with optimism and relief that i made it.

i really want a bread maker even though i don't ever eat bread. can't explain it, but it's as real as i supposedly am

i've really been enjoying my first two months at temporal. the engineering culture there is professional and pragmatic. i was lovingly tossed into the deep end for my first project -- it required me to do a pretty deep dive and i love having all this context.
