Hi! You might notice my username has changed. [@]thethinkingsir.bsky.social → [@]basedpractice.com I've been working on transitioning my blog/technical write-ups/shitposts off from the platform I was using (remind me to cancel that...) to a new home. basedpractice.com Still the same ol' me. 🙂

Karl. King of Ducks.

For once I would like @steelseries.com GG to not forget my audio device after an update. It's right fucking there.

Ahh, the CreepWatch and CreepWatch Ultra

Live Long, and Prostate

We got this bullshit before we got zero sugar Code Red in Minnesota.

We asked a dietician how to not enjoy the Minnesota State Fair.

Who?

Let it be known that on this day, my Logitech G502 III has begun showing signs its time to retire it. It has served honorably in its life. We shall soon be welcome Logitech G502 IV into service. Long shall they reign.

Best I can do

Well, he did invade Minnesota first.

When the @seedgame.bsky.social team wakes up, the real hero will be the internal issue tracker ticket to make the seedling/game state return more gracefully and less painfully.

Why is the feed full of hotdogs and people talking about them? What the hell context did I miss?

If you're an iOS developer that has worked with an app that accesses the photo library, please shoot me a DM, I want to fact check some things I've been looking at. Thanks :)

Attention: The stain on Greg's shirt is of historical importance to the Department of Temporal Investigations, and will be studied with great interest.

Handcar races confirmed for 2027?

I’ve been asked if I have received a reply from LTT/LMg, and I have not. I don’t really expect one directly though.

Using a third-party tool I was only able to find one YouTube comment on the VOD that referenced it. It did get mentioned on the LinusTechTips subreddit in their new weekly WAN show megathread.

Dear city of Woodbury, I have discovered an additional street that is still open for use, and is not undergoing construction. Please look into this, as you may have missed one that needs to be closed for our convenience. Would not want to miss Q3 closure goals. Sincerely, A concerned citizen.

The real question: is this a flat earther showing their beliefs, or someone who really wants us to stop flat earthers? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z!

My advice for the week: Make sure to have a way to deal with lithium ion batteries. Especially if you use them with a hobby or have devices that allow you to swap them. My @steelseries.com headset batteries started to go big. The good news is, the replacement batteries arrived quickly.

This is all.

@steelseries.com GG has to be the one of the biggest hunks of shit pieces of peripheral software on the planet. Just. Remember. My. Headset. After. Updates. Please.

Stick drift on a razor seems like a recipe for disaster.

I rarely walk into stores these days, so when I do there tends to be something new of trending. This time it’s… gamer razors?

I’m over a thousand miles away, but I really want to piss in that reflecting pool.

nobody wants to work anymore

I see @bsky.app looked at 2014 Kik as an example of a relevant app and decided to give that a try. It's not relevant, by the way.

Around the world to get there I guess?

Luckily I’m Vegas it cooled down a bit to a nice chill 98 degrees for a bit… And I’m glad I’ll be gone before it hits 110°F (43.3°C).

Vegas bound for the Zscaler Zenith Live conference!

Sometimes at 2:13am it just be like that

The birds are chirping. Fuck.

Ahh yes, it’s 4:38am, and I’m finally worn out after a late period of late night productivity.

Any time an airline departs and arrives at terminals with different numbers (such as departing Terminal 1 in MSP and arriving at Terminal 2 in Vegas, it should be free. Checkmate airlines.

Dear Reddit, Fuck off.

Today's decision paralysis: A new every day carry backpack in the 16L to 24L range. I currently have and like the LTT backpack but it's pretty damn bulky. The commuter bag seems to miss the mark a bit though.

Counterpoint: Wyoming is a chunk error.

@davidimel.com do you regularly run into issues with @zen-browser.app and DRM or is it more of a non-issue most of the time? Wondering if I should wait until they have a Widevine license.

Alright, give me your takes on Zen browser. Worth dipping into?

Dear city of Woodbury, Boy, do I love the sounds of the construction occurring behind my house. I especially love how it starts promptly at 7am and goes all day. I’m also pleased to know it will continue for many weeks longer, and potentially into 2027. I also love the detours. Sincerely, 🖕

I would have done this at Bruegger’s with my bagel of choice if the company owning it and Caribou hadn’t massacred it.
