Sturgill Simpson - Call To Arms [Live on SNL]
Sturgill Simpson - Call To Arms [Live on SNL] YouTube video by Johnny Blue Skies

9 years later and Sturgill Simpson still spot on. Call To Arms on SNL. "Send your sons and daughters off to die for some oil" unfortunately as relevant as ever.

(great performance, horns section and bass player tearing it up)

In the future, it would be helpful to distinguish which features were Insiders vs Current channel. Having them interspersed in the same blog post made for some confusion.

Federal Agents Kill Again; Gunmen Still At Large | Defector On Saturday in Minneapolis, federal agents surrounded 37-year-old Veterans Affairs intensive care nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti, who’d been filming them in the street with his phone camera as they conduct...

It's surreal. As I write this from the comfort of my couch, a few hundred miles away fellow citizens are being murdered by the government. Our news outlets are mostly failing us, but I am thankful for the few that are reporting honestly and directly without equivocating. defector.com/federal-agen...

There was some noise but nothing that would keep me from going back to the same neighborhood. The last flights seemed to be early evening.
The pool was in the front yard (behind a wall). The back of the house faced the airport, so there was wall>house>pool making noise less of an issue.

We did just that for my 50th in 2024. This is the place we rented and it was straight out of my mid century dreams.

.NET and C# Versions - .NET Framework 1.0 to .NET 10 & C# 1.0 to 14 (10/14 Update)

I prefer the formatting/readability of the one @nietras.bsky.social maintains. The updated version for .NET 10 is here:
nietras.com/2025/11/11/d...
Bonus - the PDF version has embedded links to the documentation.

So maddening. I'm attending (assuming no flight cancelation) and signed up for a few of your sessions.
Here's hoping your flights go smoothly.

Back view of an older, well-loved black pickup truck with Florida plates. In the bed are a couple of worker's tool boxes.
On the tailgate are two quotes:
"We're more alike than you think
More alike than they want you to think
-Upchurch"
and
"Cause when they own the information, 
Oh they can bend it all they want... 
-John Mayer"

Not the typical Florida tailgate screed. John Mayer's "Waiting on the World To Change" is from 2006 and sadly more relevant than ever. Wish I could have given this guy a 👍 but he turned.
[First one is from "HI-DEAS 1" by Upchurch, 2019 if my searching is right.]

If you find something effective would you mind sharing? I've been good with blocking keywords but it's the screenshots without alt text that continue to get through.

It's infuriating that only in an "opinion" piece is legacy media willing to call them what they clearly are: concentration camps. Stop echoing the cutesy nicknames the racist assholes are giving these camps and call them by name.

I've got an HP ARM laptop (Snapdragon X Elite). I was just able to create a new ASP.NET Framework 4.8.1 template site and it worked in IIS Express. I have VS 2022 Community 17.14.7, Windows 11 Home if that helps.

Improve Your Productivity with New GitHub Copilot Features for .NET! - .NET Blog We recently introduced several new GitHub Copilot-powered .NET experiences designed to help you be more productive. Take a look!

What's the difference between this and checking the VS 2022 option for "Enable Microsoft Learn function in chat"? Is it just that this MCP server allows for users outside VS 2022 to connect? More on the feature I'm referring to: devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/impro...

Plastic package with "inateck" brand name.

Amazon brands running out of name ideas and turning to Office Space for inspiration. I'd have gone with Penetrode.

Screenshot of article saying 30-50 percent of people regularly think to themselves and 50-70 percent don't

Sounds like it's 30-50 percent that DO have an inner dialog, which seems even harder to believe. (since mine just never seems to cease)

Anyone having problems registering for sessions at #MSBuild? I registered using the free online-only option. The sessions (i.e. build.microsoft.com/en-US/sessio...) have a button for "register now" which loops me back to the main registration page. Tried using both GitHub and company/MS logins.

I've tried but unless it can detect these blocked words in images a lot still comes through. (another reason for adding alt text, but that never seems to be added to screenshots dunking on people)

For what it's worth, I'm otherwise handy and mechanically inclined. Electrical, automotive, general woodwork? Easy. Plumbing is my kryptonite. Always ends in a leak or worse. No shame in knowing your limits, I wish I'd have realized that earlier in life!

Sounds very familiar to me (the TallBaldGeek). Those high lift, tall people cylinders are fantastic. I used various combinations of a 5lb sledge and a pipe wrench to remove my old one, worked fine. Another fun upgrade - look on Amazon for "roller blade wheels", makes it roll a lot nicer than plastic

I do this for yearly eval time, but applicable here:
Create a scheduled task on your PC to open a doc daily ~30 minutes before end of work day. Capture key points of your daily accomplishments. This helps you remember everything good when the time comes for reflection or review.

Crucial difference between IT in the corporate world vs the government world: In corp. dev you give AF about users & plan maint at low use (Sun PM into Mon). In gov't IT, it's fine to take your site offline both mornings of a weekend, especially when schools are demanding data from your site. #FAFSA

I went on a Google Maps trip while reading @foxxnolte.bsky.social book and I think this is the house. If you explore around Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club & Lodge you'll see it.

Just this morning my wife was heading to the used book store and asked if I had any to get rid of. I saw the 2018 and 2019 editions of The Easy Guide on the shelf and couldn't bring myself to part with them.

I just took over a ~90% complete Lego Mercedes Arocs set (42043) that has been collecting dust since my son abandoned it about 10 years ago. So somewhere between 10 days and 10 years seems appropriate?
