Same! It’s been a minute since I’ve soldered some stuff

Hey folks, I’ll be at #defcon later this week so if you wanna chat, grab a beer, or talk about C2 beaconing, bonsai, or chocolate tempering hit me up

Shut the fuck up! They resurrected Wizardry? This is the RPG game I cut my teeth on as a teen. This game better not suck…don’t play with my emotions

I just learned that someone who specializes in making mole sause is called a moleros and there is an annual celebration of mole in San Pedro Atocpan, Mexico called Feria Nacionál del Mole.

New life goal: visit San Pedro Atocpan during the mole festival

Oooo!!! Are those Aji Lemon peppers? Whatcha gonna make?

OMG I love this!

artesian water...like well water? I grew up on well water in NY and Ok, then nuclear reactor powered desalinated water in the Navy, and various city waters after that. I can tell you the water I remember actually being tasty was the well water we had in Oklahoma

Interesting. I don’t even think about the taste, I just drink it. Which I guess means I don’t mind the taste. I always just thought of water as this tasteless thing you consume so you aren’t thirsty

Not trying to sound critical but I never understood when people say they can’t drink water. Like, you just don’t find it tasty? Or is it actually hard to drink for some reason?

Grilled pizza

One of my favorite summer dinners, grilled pizza

OMG so much this (except for the last line). There is so much shit tech debt out there, all for the dream of getting promoted

Nice! was that 3D printed or did you get the bits from a kit and put it together?

It takes so long for a Patent to go through the process to get granted that often you find out by getting the obligatory "Congrats on your patent! Do you want a plaque to memorialize your achievement?" post card

Saturday feelz

The maple recovered really well from defoliation. I’ve only tried partial before

Some guy came up to me and made a reasonable cash offer for my 20 year old truck. I hardly drive it anymore, don’t really need it, but it wasn’t until then I realized I’m totally sentimental about that old beast.

It’s pretty bad. I used to use Pinterest for bonsai design inspiration, but it’s all (ish) gen’d images now. Totally perfect, fantasy inspired images. The beauty in the imperfection of real trees is lost on LLMs.

I can’t see what the endgame is for Pinterest. Who looks at it anymore?

TIL!!!

Ugh… Talk about the bias of the Internet

Love Shack by the B-52s was one of the most fun dance club songs ever. Everyone bouncing around, being goofy, belting out every word

The pre Ironman race chaos

That’s awesome

Skipped the wineries today and instead visited a creamery, a hazelnut candy shop, and a chocolate truffle shop

I have all the hobbies! Try one

This is how it looks when a Sea Anemone runs away from a Starfish.

Omfg I’m going to scream. Transformer models are actually really powerful, it is such a waste of everyone’s time and money that we are pouring all this energy into chatbots and not directly applying these models to real problems. Alphafold3 can solve protein folding problems chatGPT cannot

I’ve got this thing when I’m out with a group and the service is slow and people start getting vocally annoyed, I get more and more friendly and kind to the staff. I’m that guy who will publicly shame the fuck out of entitled pieces of shit by treating the staff as best I can
