Well here I am once again dropping everything I'm working on to learn something new because DevOps doesn't want to do their job.

The USPS still hasn't fixed this.

AI layoffs to backfire: Half quietly rehired at lower pay : Bosses banking on automation? 55% will regret those job cuts

Apparently it's worse than that. This guy is an IT director who's completely ignorant about design process and naming conventions and doesn't feel the need to notify the project team of major business requirement changes.

Valhalla save me from alpha male developers who won't take instruction from their solution architects.

They remind me of the Scarren from Farscape.

Folks, if you head a work e-mail with the words "Gentile Reminder", then add an exclamation point and put it in red with bold type, that no longer qualifies as "gentile".

Missing poster for the Lost Boys cast

How are these kids still missing it's been, like, 40 years now

Picard season one was amazing and completely relevant. Season two was good until they decided to kill off half the cast to do a reunion show instead. The only good thing about season three was Captain Shaw.

USPS still holding my mail hostage and narrowing down the window for when I get my mail from whenever I'm not at work to 3 hours a week on Saturday mornings when I'd rather be running errands and working on projects.

It's been this way since at least Labor Day weekend.

Temporary Business Hours for P.O Box access. 8:30 am to 5 pm M-F, 9 am to noon on Saturday.

The United States Postal Service is holding hostage the mail of hundreds of people at the Belle Grove USPS Post Office in Richardson, TX. So right now anyone who has a PO Box and a 9 to 5 job have a slim 3 hour window once a week to get our mail.

I paid for 24x7 access. This is unacceptable.

Hey there, just trying to survive the insanity. How about you?

More like just trying to be part of the narrative.

Remember back before SNW S3 when Star Trek had messages, morals and meanings?

Filming with the Virtual Wall has hurt modern Star Trek more than it's helped.

You say that as if "Code of Honor" didn't exist.

Don't forget Arena.

I did like the Decker/Constellation reference.

Today's Strange New Worlds isn't terrible, but

This is Star Trek's third Enemy Mine remake.

I think it’s cool how Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is homaging The Original Series by being absolute dogshit in season 3

Definitely spoilery things about this week's Strange New Worlds.

- The opening credits made me cringy.
- I hate when they make Pike the comic relief.
- Why was Kirk there?
- I love Pellia so much!
- Cetacean Ops!
- First stinger in Trek history, right?

I have problems watching sitcoms because I hate feeling cringy and I get very cringy when I feel embarrassed for the characters or feel they're doing or saying something exceptionally stupid.

This Strange New Worlds episode makes me cringy.

This is over on Facebook, but I think @trekranks.com might have some competition.

I just heard a new term at work today.

"Weaponized Incompetence"

This is an absolutely true phenomenon.

We started back into the office full time a couple months ago, in a new building with no cell service. They've provided a wireless connection, but blocked all social media sites.

Today I finally got my VPN working on that network. I can't tell you how happy it made me to get on FB & BlueSky again.

I wonder how many of the attendees will be heading over to the big nerd convention at the Rio after DEF CON is done.

Oh South Park... You are awesome.

Yup. This is why I laugh when Trump talks about pushing emergency relief spending back on the states. All that's going to do is make it so Blue States no longer bail out Red States who don't bother to spend on disaster planning.
