Peter Falk and Leslie Neilson were a year apart in age. Which means that, canonically, Columbo and Frank Drebin were at the Los Angeles Police Academy at the same time. They probably both committed massive civil rights violations at the direction of Chief Parker in the late 40s and early 1950s.

Viral video showing Trump in Scotland leads to golf cheating accusations President Donald Trump has been accused of cheating at golf after a video went viral. The President has been in Scotland this weekend at Turnberry.

I mean, really, he's just given another anchor for being President TACO.

"Trump Always Cheats, Okay?"

Wait, what? this is a real thing? I hate this episode of Black Mirror.

Phrases I never want to overhear - just a piece of a conversaion in the local coffee shop here in Portsmouth...

"... coerced organ donation ..."

Apple's terrible search engine in the app store.

Dear Apple. You really need to stop doing this . "Download this app to access your mortgage information" "okee, search -> THE ACTUAL APP NAME"

And the first hit is a crypto app. Nothing to do with what I'm asking for.

How is this good for your user base?

I completely misread this as "PICASSOS VULVA" and, welp, I may have my next band name.

(Also, ya'll should listen to Radio Paradise. One of the few real live independent music streams left in the world)

Some comments on travelling as a Stupidly Tall Person...

The spruce goose! Howard Hugheses monster plane. There's only one in the world, this is it!

Absolute surprise on the way across Oregon. Found the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum. "Sure, lets stop in."

Wait. Is that. Can't be. THATS THE SPRUCE GOOSE - not a copy, not a model, the ACTUAL AIRPLANE.

I'm absolutely blown away.

#girlgenius Hated to do it, but we started a GoFundMe. These are chaotic times, and no mistake, and all of a sudden we realized they were chaosing all over us. (www.gofundme.com/f/help-the-f...) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cmon @wegmansofficial.bsky.social We like you too much for you to do this silliness.

Goodness Discord for Linux updates a lot. (I mean, I guess as often as the desktop version does. I get "Downloading updates!" pretty regularly). But it's sorta neat seeing the version progression.

New englanders and weather.

Legit.

3d printed bases for ammo box storage.

I do love my 3dprinter.

I needed a way to keep my storage boxes (cheap plastic ammo Moses) from sliding around on the shelf in the jeep. Lo, a design that works! Printed these up and they’re perfect fits.

bad search results from craigslist.

This is why Craigslist is failing and, like it or hate it, Facebook Marketplace has replaced it. After decades of use, I'm firnly convinced Craigslist is wholly owned by this motorcycle guy. No amount of filters or reporting make these things stop showing up in literally every single search.

On the way. In Mobile configuration.

Set up for the night!

Bacon cooked over a hot Msr stove.

Took the jeep out for a few days camping at the beach. Going to a longer event soon and wanted to do a shakedown. All gear is good and the tents are in good shape. I love this thing :). Also brought the new e-bike. Hope to ride into town later today.

New Video is up! Some of the stories and highlights from VCF East this year. Hope ya'll enjoy!

Youtube warning that bsky may be harmful.

Welp, apparently YouTube thinks bsky is a dangerous site. Wanna place bets on whether this warning is appearing on links to Facebook, X, or TruthSocial?

Apparently the Mango Mumbler in the White House is *freaking* out about the TACO acronym and being called a chicken, doctors are worried it might give him a heart attack.

You know- Tacochardia

Approved. No notes.

Terrible UX in facebook events.

Unfortunately, Facebook has become the place to find events, things for sale, and business pages for businesses who think a facebook page is a business page.

But the event search is just sad.

"Hey, show me events aorund me related to (subject)" - in 2025, this search looks like this?

a nonexistent 'wanted' poster is edited into a blazing saddles thumbnail.

As a youtuber myself (yea yea), I really dislike this pattern where thumbnails are made 100% to draw in the viewer, whether the content in the thumbnail is real or not. Making shit up for the clicks is terrible.

(This poster is not in the movie)

The last project of the day was converting the nerd jeep over into overland mode for the summer. This involves removing the ski box and putting the big tent on.

This thing is like 250lbs but I figured out a way to do it with just two people. Thanks neighbor Cam for the help!

My toolshed

My toolshed

Decided to take a stab at cleaning the shed today. Believe it or not, this is FAR BETTER than it was when I started. I can prety much reach everything. Need a better Ryobi tool rack solution, but this is a good start. This is 100% off grid with it's own solar and batteries.

I do not, would not want.. a barely understood AI model writing my emails for me.

People are having way too much fun on FBMP.

Trailer full of 330w solar panels.

Project "How do we build a full off grid solar power system for cheap" continues apace. Just picked up this trailerful of 330w panels for $27 each. They're all tested. This should bring my home configuration up to about 4kw of solar.

A really big wrench.

They said I was mad to have a wrench this large. MAD THEY SAID!

I just used it to loosen the trailer hitch pin on the jeep.

Take that you naysayers!

Oddly applicable. (From @teeturtle.bsky.social )
