Despite taking a tumble, this compaq 386 still kinda works. Separate issue is the CMOS battery died so I'll have to replace that and make a diag disk.

Sounds like this will just be a really cool custom 386 machine when I'm done with it.

This is highly relatable.

Isn't it a little early for anxiety and seasonal depression? I love Minnesota in concept but the winters are brutal on me.

Minnesota doesn't get enough credit for how much we pioneered in the computer industry

Ralph Senensky, Director on β€˜Star Trek’ and β€˜The Waltons,’ Dies at 102 He helmed memorable episodes spotlighting Leonard Nimoy and Ellen Corby on those shows, plus the three-part pilot for 'Dynasty.'

Man my uncle Ralph died, this sucks.

He was genuinely one of the kindest souls in the world. He loved his art and was responsible for my love of storytelling. I am absolutely heartbroken I'm never going to have the chance to see him again.

So Tuesday is my best friend's birthday. He unfortunately passed in 2024, I guess it'll get better as time passes but it really sucks now.
The main trauma is really rough but nobody ever tells you about the random triggers and secondary effects that at least for me are worse than the immediate loss.

Why hasn't Quintin Tarantino made a Cinderella movie yet? A movie about a nationwide search for the perfect foot seems right up his alley.

So I'm having new HVAC installed and one the guys doing the install asked what I was doing on the computer, I work from home.

I didn't notice until right then that my job looks a lot like the job they do in Severance where they're just selecting numbers that illicit an emotion.

Hey, so did Minneapolis PD ever get around to finding the guy who shot up a homeless encampment whose image and car they had on camera? Or do they not know that they're allowed to solve more than one case a year?

I’m at a @moreneighbors.org fundraiser that’s organized as a fun Mpls vs St. Paul comedy roast. It’s fun because the Mpls folks roast St Paul, and the St Paul people… also roast St Paul.

The flat tire on a 15 year old mercedes, the we finance everyone sign, golden hour. This really borders on being a work of subprime auto financing art.

Stopped in for a pint and ended up finding @ltgovflanagan.mn.gov singing karaoke? I truly cherish having The Black Heart in my back yard. @wesburdine.bsky.social think you could get @governorwalz.mn.gov to stop by next weekend? I need a partner to help bleed the brakes on my van.

IDC what browser has the nicest UI. Tell me which one will keep 72 tabs open for 1 week straight without restarting and won't cause Explorer to crash or eat up over half of my RAM.

Yep, I agree! context: Jana and I are at chatterbox. Lady walks off the sidewalk sits on the patio and plays music off her phone for an hour (doesn't buy anything) meanwhile drunk dude on opposite end of patio is smashing his face into his phone and it's playing random ringtones.

It's 2025, do we still need to be playing music over our speaker phone in public?
