The World Cup visitors in Kansas City have learned that you can just go out and buy fireworks in this bitch and set them off anywhere. They have assimilated flawlessly and I am proud of them.

Is the service you rely on entirely ran by one guy somewhere? If so, that’s pretty badass, but watch out.

Definitely strained myself on the bike today. This fucking suuuucks

Microsoft Teams sure does receive a lot of updates, despite how it never seems to improve. What are they changing?

Does anyone actually believe that a company claiming to have AGI in their hands would willingly go for an IPO? What is the incentive to do this, if you’ve conquered the very concept of labor? Unless, of course, it was all marketing smoke, and they are now ready to cash out. Just a thought.

In da basement hiding from tornados again. Man fuck this.

If you elect me as president, I will send all men that I see at the bar who do not wash their hands after pissing to gulag.

We as a nation need to address the bar-slop that is “Chive TV.” This is maybe the worst thing to happen to bars in the past decade and I’m not kidding. The bar would be better off with no TV at all as an alternative.

I think they’re here to help

The AI bot posts actually read kinda like a college freshman’s first attempt at a three page paper. Which makes sense if the average literary level of the inputs are poor (they are).

The formulaic AI copy/paste posts on X are so easy to spot, and so poorly written. Humans do not express themselves like this…

HTTP error code 461 DONT_CARE

Every green bar is a recorded workout, excluding easy stuff like walks. Hopefully I’m doing this right.

never fucking forgive them for what they've done to the computer

The rabbits that visit my back yard have become emboldened. They will walk right up next to you; no fear in their eyes. What are they up to?

It’s always about 15 minutes into a home improvement project when I start asking “why do I do this to myself”

My basement has been Corrected. Meaning it no longer takes on water in the spring months. Meaning it is now an optimal space for a sever rack. Or more likely, a pool table.

fantasizing about dealing w/ a loud dog; like by turning on a giant fan that blows all the hair off its body. or doing havana syndrome to it

Home office upgrade

beloved robot PeePee 2.0 is slain by a car in the new star wars movie—And no; they cant make another one because its soul would be different

I know I’ve been posting about this a bit too much, but it is crazy how much exercising has become a big part of my life over the past two months. Call it the Garmin Effect.

I’ve been too busy IRL to post my thoughts about things online. Nature is healing, etc.

Another week ahead… anyway here is a sleepy guinea pig.

Everyone shut up. New Down the Rabbit Hole.

I’m getting better! Still amateur numbers of course, but just a few months ago my average power output was 90W. My VO2 max score finally improved today, also. I love busting my ass on da bike. Love da bike.

I keep thinking that focusing on exercise and health is burning all of my time, but that’s not true. Working in an office is burning all of my time.

In Missouri, it’s expected that you step out onto your porch when the tornado gets near. You’ll see all of your neighbors doing the same thing. All for the love of the game.* not sure what the game is

Not a fan of this

“We need more software faster! We have to keep up with the OTHER garbage-producing corporation!” No, you don’t. You’re not in a race to the top anymore. You’re wandering around in a landfill looking for gold.

Gonna put this out there for all the AI software developer folks: shipping more features faster doesn’t matter, and it never will. Taking the time to understand the user and shipping one rock-solid feature will always win against a deluge of random bullshit. Reject Temu-software mentality.

Do not throw away your youth as you age. Improve upon it.

Perhaps we are entering the world of Johnny Mnemonic.

I also dislike that Anthropic is keeping that tool limited and away from the public. Only a hand-full of corpos and gov agencies get it? Fuck off. Release it to the public and let the software world get destroyed. The sooner it happens the sooner we can be rebuild it.

The latest anthropic security whatever/thing is interesting. But we have always known that the OpenBSD folks were right.

Slack is a platform where millennials attempt to communicate exclusively with GIFs. Anything productive or work-related as a result of these communications is an unintended byproduct.

I need to work more high interval biking sessions into my week. So far I’ve been doing longer rides and it may be holding me back.

Leg day

Things are picking up this year. This is probably the most active I’ve been since 2019.

I went rucking today for the first time. I used a 45lb pack weight, and good lord…. It sounds easy, but it is NOT.

I purchased my niece a MacBook Air for her birthday, and it is pretty crazy how much power you get for the money today. $1,500 in 2011 would get you like 8 gigs of ram and some low voltage intel chip. Now it gets you 24 gigs of ram and a CPU you won’t have to think about until the machine dies.

This Garmin Neo bike is turning me into a new man

“Microsoft’s software being used in space” is a one-sentence horror.

Into year three of the MacBook Pro with M2 MAX chip. It still feels like a new machine and nothing seems to slow it down. The battery still lasts all day. I genuinely can’t remember the last time something like this has happened with a laptop. I don’t think it has ever happened.

Noticing that my jaw is slightly sore after doing a heavy workout. Interesting…

RE9 so far is very good. Though the segments with Grace are superior gameplay, imo, as it is actually a survival horror game while she is on screen. The segments with Leon feel like an entirely different game, but it’s also fun.

the word " yolo " .... i will never say such shit

I keep thinking about the 1990s Parliament Cigarette commercial from Japan. What was meant by this… what were they trying to convey

The setup is phat, and the new Studio XDR Display rocks.
