Hiking, biking, disc golf, electronics, drawing, and games. I post about my kids a lot. We all do better when we all do better.

The Divisions extraction zone was this and it was some of the best gaming I ever experienced.

Started christmas shopping early thinking I'd get ahead of things. Is it just me or are kids toys outrageously expensive?

Absolutely killed it at disc golf today. Scored my PR on two tough courses.

I would be unable to compute that one. Like my mind would not acknowledge that that meeting even exists.

good write up. Extra Question:

When you cast a spell does the game slow down to a crawl?

Giant spool of plastic conduit, a backhoe, and a truck labeled "Underground Fiber" at the end of the block, LETS GOOOOOOOOO

Last night was: "In order to delete a busy print driver, open the delete prompt, don't click "delete", then restart the spooler, right as it starts delete the driver!" It worked but it's obviously been this way for decades and it's so fucking dumb.

Let's start a go fund me to help microsoft rebuild their printing stack.

I hate it so much. I don't think there is any single windows service that has caused me more late nights than spool.

7/10 times it's some arcane ass solution from a random forum post from 2008.

"When I'm a tier 3 tech I won't have to deal with printing issues anymore." and other lies I've told myself.

They fed the machine the whole of human writing. Including all the stack overflow OPs that include the dumbest shit you've ever seen.

Watched Star Wars with the kids. It was a hit. Great success.

I just saw that Undaunted Normandy was pulled from Steam. I'm wondering if they decided to go with a different developer or if there are plans for a different digital version.

I was looking forward to it, though reviews were mixed.

I really just want a digital way to play the solo rules. alas.

The thing I like about bluesky, or the folks I follow, is there is a lot less talk about follower counts, like counts or any of that.

It's there but no one gives a shit.

Thinking of that Vinge book where one of the key law enforcement agencies was basically tasked with monitoring and acting on memes.

Book was set in 2025.

My uncle he was never political. One day he's walking through the town square, someone hands him a pamphlet. He reads it and it speaks to him, all the things wrong with the world are in this. It promises answers.
He goes to the meeting on the back. Guess who the leader of the party was?

I have a super power. I can look at a grocery cart and guess within a couple bucks how much the total is. It's an annoying and only slightly useful skill.

I laughed out loud when the teller read off the total a couple days ago, I was so far off. Why isn't everyone losing their minds? lol whatever

Everytime a patch comes out that pounds another nail in ntlm or rc4 I'm the sicko meme guy.

Thanks for working on it but also doing it in a careful way.
