Every municipality needs to understand that data center jobs do not exist. There are no people in data centers. When people need to go to data centers they usually come from some big tech company HQ, or from some contractor hired to shove servers into racks. They are built by nonlocal specialists.

What a joyful, energizing week I had!

Not so strangely, the people trying to claim the Charlie Kirk shooter was influenced by “transgender ideology” have said nothing about the 24-year-old male stalking suspect who killed three police officers with a suppressed AR in an ambush.

The FBI using Zizians as their core example of the existence of a trans militant cult is, in its own way, kind of hilarious.

One other thing I find interesting about this story is officials having a hard time finding a way to bring federal charges. It is almost always possible to find a way to bring federal charges for a killing committed with a gun, because almost every gun has parts that travel in interstate commerce.

No shit

I wrote this eight months ago and it’s as relevant now as it was then.

Dressing up to wfh

We’re back home after wrapping up the summer with one more live show. This one was a bit of a pilgrimage for me. Ever since I was like, 14, I’ve wanted to go to a show at Red Rocks. So when one of my favorite artists was playing there, a Colorado local no less, I finally made “some day” today.

I’m not dressing like gen z, gen z is dressing like me

Whenever I’ve been feeling like crap for a few days I like to dress up to kick the Good Brain Chemicals into action, anyway my outfit today is great

So my solution to this ended up being: - notch the studs by about 1” to stay code compliant - install false studs in the drywall to hold the unit - build a frame to wrap the unit between the wall and trim - install the side of the frame to the false studs Tomorrow i’ll touch up drywall

Alright. I gotta sink a medicine cabinet into this

The weekend’s 3rd project is replacing the faucets in the upstairs bathroom that we let get too calcified. And settling of the house means we need to seal some gaps that have grown over 15 years

Weekend project #2 was taming the front patio. I don’t have a before pic, but there was a lot of leaves and junk left there from previous projects. We need a better bike solution, but I have ideas.

Weekend project 1: clean up this wall
