I can't even articulate what I think of this. It's just... is there a purpose here or are we just chaining together marketable features?

Apparently the secret to a long life is vitriol and spite.

That moment when your company stupidly relied on a third party for some software and when it doesn't work you get to just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

BLUESKY IS A WEBSITE THAT TURNS (post by jay.bsky.team claiming that bluesky is made with AI) INTO (picture of bluesky not working)

Oh right. Beamng has mods.

Still not sure I'd play enough to justify an iRacing subscription though. Which is a shame because I really really want to try Laguna Seca in VR.

So I've been testing the waters of VR sim racing using beamng and I gotta say... Once you get past a few days of motion sickness, VR brings a whole new level of feedback to racing games.

Much much easier to detect over and under steer as well as gauge braking points.

The North way through Missouri isn't nearly as frustrating as I70 and you get to avoid KC. Otherwise I70KS vs I80NE is honestly two sides of the same coin.

My scalp has determined it should be a felony for roofers to use staples twice as long as the depth of the decking.

Yo.

It took a trip to Germany for me to see the light.

That's uh... Impressive? Disappointing?

It's not a particularly deep movie...

One thing that repeatedly catches me off guard is how some country radio stations will play the national anthem everyday at 7am and 12pm.

That kind of performative patriotism always just struck me as a bit weird, but in hindsight performative patriotism is practically a staple of such music.

Time to resurrect an old project. I had collected some solar components for a truck camper that never came to be so now I'm putting it in my garden shed.

One of these things was a display I made by reverse engineering the chargers comm protocol. One of my first end-to-end programming projects.

It would seem that a little instability was a good thing. That instability was definitely not by design, however.

Work has been fun lately. It seems there's a growing consensus that improvements I made to the software that unquestionably improved a control loop has had unforeseen negative consequences and we've easily spent over a million investigating the root cause.

What a weird position to be in.

Is her head too small for her body?

... Yeah, that's fair.

I feel that. Both my wife and I, working for drastically different companies, have been broadly told to use AI without any guidance or suggestions.

Plopping copilot in my lap doesn't magically boost productivity.

Oh you betcha.

To be fair, they don't say that the flavor is....

The great redistribution of body.

Snek.

It would seem we have a small collection of garter snakes in an old tree stump.

Side note: my rafters are full of late 70s atrocities I'm tempted to at least partially fix, but they've also lasted fifty years so far...

So much work.

When I spray foamed the backside of my can lights I did not expect one to grow a healthy looking dong.

It good. It so good.

Getting ready to remove some old shitty blown in insulation and replace it with batts.

Changed up some framing and now I reduced the necessary contortion by 70%.
