This kind of day with Ruby - some cleaning, Outer Worlds 2, and Canucks game shortly. Some Marathon technical test after the hockey game!

So many distractions from pain and bad nervous system at least!

people pushing this stack and bragging they're serving 100k per day request traffic lol

makes me roll my eyes.. and that they completely don't understand everything you've outlined.

PR apps as well. I don't want to manage the infra to deal with those, the cleanup, etc.

the number of people that don't understand this and are left leaning is painful.

i dont use this device, but have been looking at bedjet and similar to help with temp regulation due to nervous system issues lol

the cost of being disabled is fucking expensive.

it costs me 40 dollars just for transportation across town because public transit doesn't run often enough.

I fully support general strikes, but I've always viewed the ability to participate a huge privilege.

I'm looking for a new chair to replace my secret lab one which has done a pretty good job for five years.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a max budget of $1200 Canadian?

I have bad back issues, so the more comfortable and supportive the better.

half excited (but very tired) because I can put on trashy tv series (the blacklist) I'm working through while pace at work slows down a bit πŸ˜†

good opportunity for all of us waiting for issues to be resolved with us-east-1 to make note of failure points during an outage like this and prioritize work to make things more resilient.

I was talking to friends last night about white liberals. They truly believe that showing up in an orderly fashion and expressing their displeasure is sufficient to make oppressors change course. No matter how many times you tell them it's not enough.

all it takes is for me to publicly complain about the Canucks and they start playing like the west coast express line is back and the comeback is complete lol

the people responsible for fucking up the Sonos software over the years should be charged criminally.

All the gambling and prescription medication advertisements totally turn me off from watching hockey. It's brutal on all the broadcasts.
