Sometimes I wish I could help you more. Other times I just like to laugh at you -A

I am a happy tree... The grass is green, the sky is blue, the sun is shining... Why in the heck does software customer support have to be so incredibly frustrating and nearly incompetent. I have literally worked software customer support before... Seriously, it's not hard to not completely suck.

week 2 as a developer: i just fixed something that i was stuck on for five days and i almost screamed out loud in the office

I am wanting to start playing D&D or another TTRPG with friends but all my friends that play TTRPGs are already in their own long campaigns with their long time groups...

Any fun #homelab ideas you don’t mind sharing?

How do people aggregate important news items these days. I try to avoid the news cause it’s full of garbage but I find myself in need to know somewhat what’s happening in the world.

New job has posed some fun and some scary challenges. I’m not a sales oriented person. I don’t like selling things to people unless I believe it’s a choice I would make in their shoes. I just quoted an estimate to upgrade a working system to a client who was hesitant at first and I actually won it!

Just had one of those instances I feel like most if not all parents have. Told my kid to go sit on their potty and pee. Kid doesn’t sit but stands near their potty and pees everywhere but their potty. Not a single drop in the proper spot. Massive mess of bodily waste… so gross

That last week at a job is one of the most boring

this is the most one-sided two-option poll i can remember seeing. you could probably get 10 percent of americans to respond that installing your air conditioner backwards so that cold air blows outside will fix the environment

Quit my job today

What a wild weekend. My daughter turned 2, my entire network and homelab went down all the while I am trying to plan what my future will look like with another kid on the way. Maybe added too much to my plate all at once but I survived

Its’s not much but it’s something and I am learning all kinds of skills with this #homelab project. #ollama #openwebui #wsl #github github.com/DedSmurfs/Ol...

Can we petition for Dr. Pepper to be added to a list of approved Anti-Depressants? I just think it’s more effective than 90% of the crap out there and it would be nice to have it prescribed and covered by insurance.

Do yourself a flavour. youtu.be/ZIPuGUQiF4Y?... Listen to this

In case you hadn't noticed:

The new Mango flavour of #brisk iced tea in my personal opinion is not enjoyable. Bring back the blackberry flavour. That is the personal favourite brisk iced tea flavour but it's so hard to find these days...

I have eaten a vast plethora of ice cubes in my life but have not once pooped one out... Should I be concerned? - A

I don't know why I waste breath on you - D

The shear amount that I can't post... it's... It's a lot
