Panic World (the podcast) had a great segment recently after the recent catholic school shoting and also after the Kirk shooting. They talked about how, to the shooters, the shooting itself is a form of media and self expression. It really is shitposting in the form of killing people.

I got a similar issue right now with my car. Bushings in the rear suspension control arm are worn. Replacing the bushings is 4 hrs of work, and minor material cost. Replacing the control arms is minor work, medium material cost - comes out cheaper. Sucks.

I don't usually toot my own horn but running 500km in the first half of the year is an absolute smashing record for me. My nearest record is 370km. Here's to another 500k for this year! I hope you all out there are obliterating your goals 🫡

I'm working outside! In Iceland! What is this!

Don't worry, it'll rain later today. For now, I'm enjoying this so much.

The local hill/mountain (about 330m above sea level) has three peaks that are fun to climb in one go, certainly good to get some height meters and powerhiking into my training #trailrunning

That is genuinely quite good. Certainly good enough for a meeting avatar.

On the other hand - It’s hilarious to think about how many years of software engineering this took (not to mention THIRTY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS)

New #running shoes update - they are fantastic. I did a quick 7k in cold af conditions and they felt great, exactly what I was looking for in a shoe. Comfortable, roll easily through the stride, grippy and breatheable. All my shoes are purely for comfort from now on, I’m worth it 😤

New #running shoes, purely to cheer myself up after losing my job last week. On CloudMonster 2. I hope to get a run in tomorrow or the day after, they felt amazing on a treadmill in the store!

Ah the good old days of CS. I do believe CS2 has hostage extraction modes, still.
