marx predicted this!!

my phone forced an update on me (i keep postponing them because i worry they're gonna force AI shit on me) and the alarm app just broke in a real freaky way. started playing the alarm music at like 20x speed or w/e

dreams can become reality… #lasercutting #tractor_feed #trypophobia

also i forgot to get groceries lol

did not fully finish wiring up the outlets today because i ended up moving the cabinets i had in the yard into the shed where i can use them better, and tidying up the workbench that i want to put the drill press on, and i started late so then it was dark and i couldn't find my headlight

got very sidetracked looking at hoists and winches and lifting gear. and now i'm getting all sorts of bad ideas like "drop bed bike trailer"

wondering if i should buy a small hand hoist... i'm gonna need something to safely take apart the milling machine at my parents place, never mind if i ever end up buying some tool that weighs more than i can lift (which seems likely)

i think having several big sets of tool drawers would fix me

feeling like there was something else i was supposed to do... but the dishwasher is on, the washing machine is washing my towels and stuff, i'll go get groceries later today, i'm going to the dump to get rid of some more garbage tomorrow...

Word of the Day is ‘catchfart’ (17th century): an obsequious individual who sucks up to the boss and always follows the political wind.

learned a new word ハエトリグモ haetorigumo 'jumping spider' literally 'fly-catching spider' — the quoted post basically says "caught it living up to its name, it was incredibly fast"

remember having two distinct dreams. one where i built a tiny, functional model of a lathe (and had a lot of trouble cutting a tiny lead screw) and one where i accidentally got on the wrong train and it turned out to be a sleeper train to austria

whuh when did it become 4am

The "Kubrick stare" ruined staring at your friends and family like this

man things would be much easier if i could just take delivery of a europallet easily here

knew i was forgetting something. never took my clothes out of the washing machine

You’ve all been very good this week, please have a crab.

to me as a dutch person this is a normal name. i do not understand why you are laughing

oh no i did not heed the nursery rhyme and forgot about the gunpowder plot. was wondering why i saw several people in the UK talking about fireworks

wondering if i should push my luck and poke at the wiring in the shed too

brain doing surprisingly well today tbh. i got to work 15 minutes before the meeting instead of my usual 1 minute. finished the thing i've been struggling to work on for like a week. even finally got around to doing wanikani again maybe the NYC election did some good for the ambient vibes field

Zohran says you’re trans now

I worked very hard on this

had an early meeting so i left early to catch some daylight

would be nice to play dwarf fortress again but i cannot stand the new UI tbh

oh, cheney died? what a shame. he deserved worse

ah shit i forgot to do laundry

one of the best rules on SA was the toxx clause where if you posted "if [x] happens i will do [y]" and you did not follow through on it you were banned

bro my tutor took the day off to go to a wedding stop trying to gamify me into spending more money or whatever

hmmm i guess i can go poke at the wiring in the shed for a bit (so i can hook up the drill press to drill the pipes for the screw jack things so i can try unfucking the roof)

also realized an additional reason to get the shed in useful condition: could fit a decent sized model train layout in there i think

fwiw this has no source and i cannot find a paper or article on this so far. some related stuff (intent statements to develop such things, etc) but nothing specific

oops i ordered pizza and forgot to put in the comment field to call me so now i have to sit somewhere i can hear the doorbell and can't do anything in the shed maybe i'll take a break tonight

to my mufos:

ok time for bed

i've gone on record as not really liking soup that much recently. but for some reason i was really craving cream of mushroom soup earlier. with some baguette slices maybe. maybe i'll buy some at the store this week

hm i guess if i wanna put this galvanized steel tube on the screw jacks i built i gotta drill holes in em... which means setting up the drill press... which means a bunch more tidying yak shaving at its finest

christ that's a lot of rain

The black-throated green warbler (Setophaga virens) is a small songbird in the New World warbler family, Parulidae.

i got my 75kg of sand and other nonsense and the exercise made me feel a little better but now it is raining very hard and i'm not quite feeling right enough to go walk back and forth through that a lot

okay i'm not feeling it today but let's go buy a bunch of nonsense at the hardware store anyway

woke up at 2pm. not great for my sleep rhythm

awake because of tummy hort and seeing all kinds of incomprehensible stuff on the timeline
