The front control panel of a Frigidaire dishwasher which for some reason has five differently colored indicator lights - The type usually found on industrial control panels - installed now in a line. Three of them, green, white and red are lit. Blue and yellow are unlit.

Back on my bullshit

We all need to band together and create a line of appliances that have real buttons, just work, and no IoT crap (or if it has any networking for things like status or remote control, it's local first, and not required for any functionality).

Pregnant Women, DON’T USE TYLENOL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, DON’T GIVE TYLENOL TO YOUR YOUNG CHILD FOR VIRTUALLY ANY REASON, BREAK UP THE MMR SHOT INTO THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE SHOTS (NOT MIXED!), TAKE CHICKEN P SHOT SEPARATELY, TAKE HEPATITAS B SHOT AT 12 YEARS OLD, OR OLDER, AND, IMPORTANTLY, TAKE VACCINE IN 5 SEPARATE MEDICAL VISITS!

complete batshit insanity

Canada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reagan’s Speech on Tariffs. The Reagan Foundation said that they, “created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address,” and “did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter.” The sole purpose of this FRAUD was Canada’s hope that the United States Supreme Court will come to their “rescue” on Tariffs that they have used for years to hurt the United States. Now the United States is able to defend itself against high and overbearing Canadian Tariffs (and those from the rest of the World as well!). Ronald Reagan LOVED Tariffs for purposes of National Security and the Economy, but Canada said he didn’t! Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD. Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The president got his feelings hurt, so we're doing 10% more tariffs on Canada. Joke of an administration.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.

Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.

We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

No stats on the scores I’m afraid. Like most stuff I build these days, there’s no tracking of any kind on it. It’s a static site (in this case just a single index.html), and only reaches out to its own domain.

Me, hearing Kermit the frog's voice: "I think Kermit has a new voice"

My wife: "What happened to Kermit?"

Me: "I don't know, maybe he croaked."

I made the mistake of looking at the comments on the latest video.

There's something about people fixated on edge cases and refusing to look holistically at their situation in order to assess their actual needs which frankly hurts my soul.

YouTube video by Technology Connections The "standard" car charger is usually overkill—but you electrician might not know that

It's time for another electric vehicle charging video.

Too many people believe EV charging solutions require expensive, huge electric circuits (or worse: service upgrades).

The really high-power ones people tend to go with can be a headache, but there are many other options!

The honest reason I don't have microtransactions/season pass/ads/100 DLCs/etc in Balatro isn't just about the ethics of those practices but because when I play other games that have those things it makes me want to put my computer in the dishwasher and set it to pots & pans

“I told Canada, which very much wants to be part of our fabulous Golden Dome System, that it will cost $61 Billion Dollars if they remain a separate, but unequal, Nation, but will cost ZERO DOLLARS if they become our cherished 51st State. They are considering the offer!”

Narrator: they were not considering the offer

Ha!

Early morning start customising my Unit Testing 1-day training workshop into Ruby for a client.

I *could* use GPT to translate, but doing that would rob me of this opportunity to get back into a Ruby frame of mind (it's been a while).

If learning's the goal, write the code yourself.
