Just heard my middle son use the word "meta" in regards to video games, so we're cooked, right chat?

Of course I disavow the Brotherhood of Steel. The fact that you would even ask that makes me concerned about your motive.

I wish I hadn't left trip planning to the last moment. Also I wish I wasn't so damn fuzzy brained today.

Why is there a WiFi dead spot when you're sitting on the toilet in our primary bathroom? I have the damn house blanketed in 5GHz and this is the one spot where I want to watch stupid short videos!

No audio on the youtube stream for IMSA petit le mans or is that just my app being goofy?

I'm sorry, you moved your rental car at least three atoms so I'm going to have to charge you the full 29 cents.

Using iOS Hold Assist for the first time. We shall see how it goes. Also hold sucks.

Indiana Jones and the Sword of Pandemonium #1 is now set to start in February 2027, per Marvel. When it was announced at SDCC, the first issue was set for release on Dec. 9. Confident it's going to be worth the wait. #IndianaJones #Comics

“Pictures Of You” 🎨✨ Did you have a favorite reel? I absolutely loved the Batman ‘66 set, the tiger in 3D was terrifying! 😅 A new original framed gouache painting on canvas panel up on jameshance.com today ❤️

I'm so impressed that Dax loved the circuit workshop we did. Arduino was sorta interesting to him but the code wasn't. However just straight DC circuits was fascinating. Also the class was put on by high schoolers and they did such a good job with handling the kids.

I'm so very tired of being mansplained stuff I already know, and the person explaining *gets it wrong.* And I'm a white middle aged dude! I can't imagine how bad women get it.

Agreed. The country lost its damn mind. Any person even tangentially related to Islam, the middle east or central Asia was a potential victim of violence. You'd be deemed as "unamerican" to have even the slightest hesitation for our government using this to justify decades long wars.

Would you like to feel old? No? Tough shit. Doug, Rugrats, and Ren & Stimpy all premiered 35 years ago today. August 11th, 1991.

The eBay gave, and the eBay hath taken away; blessed be the name of the eBay. A seller cancelled the shipping label while in transit and refunded me and somehow my item is still arriving? Idk. Probably going to be a brick or a bag of dirt.

Make an AI bot to find old episodes of VH1's Pop Up Video, and put the pop ups as timestamped comments on the Youtube video of the original song.

I say this as a "Car Guy" who likes to nerd out about all the little differences in cars, but Porsche's naming and numbering schemes make zero sense to me.

I understand that technology systems can sometimes break, but fuck useful error messages are so much more helpful than "failed to update database." (it turned out to be an expired cookie)

Can't wait until Trump blames the B-52 crash at Edwards AFB on something California related; Newsom, maybe sweeping the runways, or water, or something else dumb.

Literally the gilded age. Literally in the literal sense.

Trump: "Re-gilding of the massive Arts of War sculptures, located between The Lincoln Memorial and site of The Triumphal Arch, rapidly continues. The sculptures will be fully regilded by July 3. The photos were taken yesterday. The Gilders’ Studio has flown in Gilders from around the Country!"

Why *don't* I use brew on my linux machines? I always use it on my Macs and on Linux I just suffer with apt usually.

unfortunate that the Porsche Hypercars aren't at Le Mans this year, but definitely great to see the Genesis cars, plus the Astons have become very competitive! Also wish my AXR Caddy was there, but I'll take the Jordan boys in the Dex Caddy as a 'murican replacement.

But imagine the horror if he wore a tan suit.

Trump appears to be completely passed out asleep during his 3pm Oval Office announcement

Today in overheard corporate phone calls: "We're expecting a massive, massive vertical thrust, and I'm not sure we're prepared enough for it."

I am too lazy to do it, but if you took the list of regional American pizza styles and sorted them by the 2024 election results, the most +Trump areas would have the grossest styles. I'm guessing Altoona style would be the worst and the Trumpiest (square pizza, tomato sauce, American cheese).

CW: "This works, right?" Me: "It should, but I haven't tested it." CW: "I mean it's new, so it works, right?" Me: "Yes, it is new, no that doesn't mean it works correctly. That's why I test them." CW: "But it's brand new!" Me: "Yes. Still doesn't mean it's guaranteed to work. Both can be true."

Researching stuff about PXE boot / secure boot systems and I keep coming across SBAT and all I can think of is CBAT and that awful reddit thread.
