15 years ago I borrowed a bulletproof vest from a reporter so I could report from a war zone. I held onto it after I returned. Last week the reporter finally asked for it back because he is headed to Minneapolis.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Started working on my own ESP32 based version of the old piratebox project. Its not quite up to a 1.0.0 version yet since it is still missing core functionality but I it is exciting to see bits and pieces of it coming together.

While the rest of the world may be going crazy, I can confirm that thermally spicy air is infact still just as spicy as always and does infact bite when you encroach on its territory like normal... probably should have played with the forge on a Friday when I didn't have to work afterwards.

Usually Minnesota sirens go off to sate the tornados before they arrive on the first Wednesday of the month. This is called, "Wind's Day" In public, I have thrown my head back and yelled "IT'S WIND'S DAAAAYYYYYY" under the din of the sirens.

The day I start acting "normal" and boring is the day you know I have died inside.

"Professionalism" is a ploy to stop more programmers from wearing cat ears because it makes them too powerful

I have 2 thoughts: 1) "Unkind nitwits" is I feel an accurate descriptive of people who listened to the rhetoric during the election and chose to support those in power. 2) The second half of that message just shows that literally nothing was learned.
