Tonight’s rotation is brought to you by Star Trek: House of Slay™, where peace is cute but the face stays stamped. Each week, four decorated warriors compete. Hostile takeovers. Ceremonial side-eyes. And at least one betrayal before the ad. Star Trek: House of Slay™. Live long. Pose harder.

LED Printers: The Quiet Achievers You May Not Have Heard Of

I love Graphene, hate Pixel hardware. I'll be the first to buy a compatible Motorola. Please keep chop flashlight & twist for camera motions. I miss those SO much.

It is a great day for a workout.

QOTD: Why Do I Dislike Myself So Much?! Picking up my training for the gym's not-at-all-serious "Olympic" games: Glizzies 'n Gains v2.0 in May. Coach said blocks 2+3 combined for 5x would be the core of an adult class without. Thinks I'm insane to have the row in block 1. I did it, tho!

Airport (1970): what am I watching? I was hoping this was gonna be like Airplane! it's actually a 2 hour drama.. And I'm so sucked in: will trans global airlines make it out of this airport before the angry homeowner next door manages to shut down it down on noise complaints AND there's a bomb!?

I found a new alternative use for the backpack leaf blower. This works surprisingly well. SNOW: Shit No One Wanted

♑️ That vision of who you could become isn't some fake fantasy. It's worth taking seriously.

We had a snow/ice event over the weekend. It did not stop me from going to the gym at normal time on Monday.

Dedication or Insanity? You decide. The #EV6 did exceptionally well on the frozen roads. 33f weather, paddle regeneration never worked in snow mode. Wiped blades can't go down due to ice build up. Car never wiggled or felt like it would slide. 10/10 recommend. Now to get my swol on. #gymbro life.

Since it's ill advised to drive my awd hothatch and go to the gym, I will scrape all the cars clean & work on a tech project for the gym instead.

Why not trapbar #deadlift 180lbs (bar weight incl.) while wearing a 60+lbs weighted vest?

Today's workout: 295 (lbs) dead lift: 6 x 5 (reps x sets) Hang + pull knees to chest: 5 x 5 TRX face pull: 8 x 5 50lbs "easy bar" preacher curls: 5 x 5 300 dead lift: 5 x 1 Wearing 60lbs vest: 255 sled pull: 3 sets 245 dead lift: 5 x 2 155lbs dead lift: 5 x 1 I *love* using that weighted vest.

I've been collaborating with the author of the #Ioniq5 and #EV6 module for the Open Vehicle Monitoring System ( #OVMS ) #opensource project. We now have odometer miles & VIN being properly reported for US models. Range estimates are off (lower) but I am OK with that. Now I don't need #Kia Connect!

Good #Monday #Morning #Workout to y'all! Let's get to it. Primary set (x3): Rower 5mins Plank 45s Push ups with bar x5 Sled 250lbs lateral pull (down & back) Knees to chest x5 Finishing set Box squat 165 x1 Box squat 255 x 3 Box squat 305 x 1 (video)

I am thrilled with @pinkuh.bsky.social work on my #Synergy tattoo from #JemAndTheHolograms. Everything you see in this picture she concepted and tattooed on me. Synergy is still incomplete with +15 hours of tattooing done.

Had the big birthday chili party last night, up till 4am. What did I do after waking up at 10:30am? NSAIDs and a very light weight / high rep motion focused 35m workout at the gym. I've been to the gym everyday thus far in 2026. Does this make me a #gymbro? Is 2026 the year of swol? Let's find out!

"3AM Knows All Your Secrets" -- Quote from a random 90s AOL Member Profile. Here's a secret: I still feel weird celebrating my birthday after my great grandma was buried on my 12th birthday because the affluent out of town family couldn't be bothered to extend their travel plans. Today I turn 43.

I am very pleased with how my #jem #synergy #tattoo is turning out.

Up till 1:30a for ring in New Year 2026 Slept till 6:30a then up and lifting: - Slow pace 185lbs bench - 235lbs (+whatever sled weighs) drag - 10kcal burned on vertical rowing machine Next up: finishing belly tattoo

Heed the message. - Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. It's just prescient, and eerie, how this fits what's happening right now. #movie #messagefromthepast

Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd. Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage. Another reason for Medicare for All.

This is so cute!

Thrice now I've had someone tell me "no need to apologize" during a technical situation/bug report. Ok, Universe, I hear you: I'm too apologetic, and I'll work on that in '26.

Pass one wreck, almost get into another. My limit has been reached with inattentive drivers.

Our yule/Christmas tree is adorned with eccentric decor every year.

9 to 5 is an epic classic with Dolly, Jane, and Lily as the stars. Fun fact: Dolly bought the rights and made a theatre (play) production of the film. 10/10 recommend movie and theatre play version.

On this #caturday we celebrate that after 2 years Miss Dixie, the seizure prone kitty, has begun sleeping with me! We did have a startle at 4am that has her spring direct into the air and land in a laundry basket, but progress not perfection...right?

The other night we took my spouse's smart car to dinner. I've not been in one since Gopher's wreck in April, at least not with another person. Our biceps kept touching and I said "I don't remember us bumping into each other like this" and hubby said "because your arms weren't that huge before."

It is time again for #fitness #friday where we farmer's carry a 275lbs trap bar down the green and back. Started at 200 and jumped up over 4 sets. Then loaded up to 335lbs for stationary deadlifts. I am gym dweeb?

When I switched jobs, I did not know that I'd be working at one of "The 8 biggest companies headquartered in the Triangle" (according to Axios). The culture and attitude here is way better than the California company I left. www.axios.com/local/raleig...

Should for some reason you wish to get me a gift for the holiday (or my birthday), please make a donation to NPR or my NPR Affiliate WUNC in my name. Any amount will do.

I wish it was this warm when I left for the gym at 10 to 6 this morning. Today is the coldest day since December 2022. Why don't I live somewhere tropical?

When Bezos Company announced they planned to acquire iRobot, I got my API keys & blocked the vacuums from phoning home until I could get Valetudo-compatible hardware from Dreame. I knew this day was coming once Bezos Co was blocked from completing the buyout. Sad day.

On this #freaky #snowy #Friday we will #deadlift 400lbs to say we can.

Never seen before: Panda attacks EV charger! 🐼 As the posting says: No humans, living pandas or other animals were harmed during the incident. 🤣

#deadlift on #humpday 375lbs: check. 400lbs will be next PR attempt in Jan. (This was first lift I did it once more before posting)

@techconnectify.bsky.social I love this shady comment hidden in the closed captions! It's like alt text easter eggs =)

I know I've not posted any tattoo progress pics as of late but I promise I'm still getting color loaded...

One week each November I transform into the lovechild of Gordon Ramsay and Martha Stuart, complete with catchphrase "Get out of my kitchen!" I have been preparing since Saturday for this evening's feast. No, no, food is absolutely not my love language.

Sadly, #EV startup Bollinger Motors has shuttered. Though Detroit papers call it a Michigan company, Bollinger started in upstate NY before relocating to Detroit for engineering talent. I interviewed founder Robert Bollinger way back in 2017, a week before the B1's debut in NYC. (1 of 3)

The breakup with T-HellHole has begun & I am held hostage: Only 1 of 3 lines successfully ported and unlocked. 1 phone shows stolen on incoming carrier necessitating a new one while the other phone won't network unlock and accept the new esim. Praying that on Monday we can be rid of Evil Magenta.

I'm gonna need my NC thrift stores to get with the times and offer charging like this store in Norfolk, VA.

Today @raleighgov.bsky.social launched a new Utility payment portal. By the time the SMS OTP/2FA reaches my phone the web session has timed out. IMO the bigger issue: they don't sanitize the username/email field, making it case-sensitive, so my email has a mandatory capital letter now. 0/10 stars.

I saw zero coverage of this vehicle fire last Saturday. I am pretty sure it was a Tesla Model Y. This was near the RDU Airport exit on I-40 (vehicle west bound).

I am angry, disappointed, & crushed with @bouletbrothers.bsky.social elimination of Priscilla Chambers from Titans S2. If I ever needed a sign that the show lost its roots, this extermination proved it. She was Filth & Horror & poignant & unforgettable, something you'd have lauded in past seasons.

I served notice at work. I feel like I'm breaking up with someone incredible who has a drinking problem but refuses to change. It hurts so badly even though the environment became so toxic.
