Novel back underway after a couple years hiatus. Currently keeping text offline for reasons - sorry :( But I'll at least try to mention from time to time that I've been making the words.

Return to sender.

Noticing an SEC game on the TV and it's Texas vs. Mississippi and I'm like how about they both lose.

I tell you what: it's a wild time to be a #sysadmin https://cve.0xosprey.com/

#Mastodon admins: you probably want to update Node like immediately.

.71(45 x 12 + 100) = 454.4

eBay ads on facebook are unhinged. https://www.ebay.com/itm/127352494517?itemid=127352494517

Hey man, what castle you been to?

One of the reasons I love taking the ferry. How often do you get to see a tugboat underway? It's basically an engine that (just barely) floats.

Mmm, glassy :)

Absolutely unhinged response from the people who set a private key to "4": https://emudhra.com/en/press-release/emudhra-to-exit-global-ssl-tls-certificate-business

The #dog is absolutely offended at the fact that it rained in his back yard. Offended, and it's all my fault. #cawx

Hello, nerds

I swear, all #Java "enterprise" crapware just works like "Here's a 4mb stack trace, nowhere in there will the actual problem be referenced, but eventually you'll find a 16-year-old post to a random forum where you'll find the issue came from line 1937 of […]

Randomly remembering an exchange I had with my former boss many years ago. At the time we used AIM for chat, and one day out of the blue he sent me a message: Boss: 1Jesus3:16! Me: LOL Boss: dang it

A spider has been persistently webbing by the trash cans, went out there a minute ago and got webbed in the head plus the SPIDER was right in front of me. Popped my glasses off, brushed my hair and beard, spider was gone, must have hopped down amid all the commotion. Put my glasses back on […]

We need to take this approach with a lot of things. Especially guns. We should require all guns owners to be licensed and insured (just like we do with cars).

Watching the #CooleyFire with annoyance. Whoever approved the controlled burn that escaped under near-red-flag conditions needs to find another line of work.

Tactical cosplay dudes are such losers. Guy at the gym had on a vest with some stupid patch, whatever, we're all in there getting exercise. I go in to change at the end of my routine and there's some old dude with a flattop, haven't seen one of those in a while. We're basically ignoring each […]

Hell yeah.

A heavyset fella like me who starts consistently lifting weights for a year has begun a simple transformation: shoulder-boulders to boulder-shoulders.

@ai6yr you seen this yet? Sorry for other social but the link should be public. It seems CalFire is attempting to compete with #WatchDuty for some reason.

It's the only way to be sure. #vote

I double-checked this on a couple of Xitter stat sites and it's true. Average views of the main AfD account dropped 90% and average engagement dropped by 60%. This is commercial social media for you: bots, damn bots and Russian bots.

ChatGPT literally advertised to me that it would handle my finances. Hell the fuck no lol.

With the kids coming of age it's time to start looking for another car. Restoring a clapped-out air cooled Beetle is well within my ability. So is an EV conversion on one. I would happily drive either. Oh no...

So now anybody who buys diesel is basically funding Putin's war against Ukraine. Awesome. :-|

Today in "Fuck you #systemd you fucking pieces of shit" Why in the everlasting fuck do I have to use "--no-pager" everywhere, and why is it not the default? You fucking pieces of shit. Most user-hostile thing ever done to #linux Signed, a once-again angry #sysadmin

This is why I stay on Facebook :D

OMG ICE just shot someone in Marble Hill! There was a five year old kid in the back of the car. Marble Hill is in the Bronx, although technically it's part of Manhattan. It's a quiet almost suburban like neighborhood. I have family who lives there. (They are OK.) I think they said the man who […]

It's true. There's a box in my garage that has to be maintained at 9/8th capacity or else the world will stop spinning on its axis.

Announce a movie with the wrong headliner but they actually were in the movie: "Harrison Ford, in Apocalypse Now" #movies

If Brian Adams released the song about when he got his first real six-string today, it would be called the Summer of 2010. Party on Garth.

Susan Collins in a nutshell:

The idiot's paradox: the more anti-vaxxers there are, the fewer anti-vaxxers there are.

Androgoneous Spacecraft docking because neither the US or Russia wanted to be the "Female" docking part. I know a lot of stupid Space shit, but I was today years old when I learned this.

#Halloween decorations starting to come together.

Nothing quite like a heat wave to kick off October, eh what? #cawx

My #dog now reacts to the word "doorbell" like he just heard it ring. Ridiculous.

Riley Gaines, famous for turning her 5th place tie with transgender swimmer Lia Thomas into a far-right career agianst transgender people, has officially had her lawsuit against the NCAA thrown out by a judge today. The judge found no evidence for her claims. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Spraying with latex in a respirator under a blacklight. Must be that time of year again... #halloween

So there are some reasons why one might stay on legacy social media. Maybe not good reasons, but reasons. For example, Facebook decided tonight it was time for me to learn that combine harvester demolition derby is really a thing and hell, I'd probably pay money to see that. Dumb? For sure […]
