the three phases of ricki passing the fuck out

declaring insomnia bankruptcy. can't just be in bed anymore. the good news is that i have had this thing i've wanted to hack on but work has been too busy for me to carve out time for it.

new potted plants in the apartment just dropped

if you're on the fence about getting a robot litterbox, do it. it's lifechanging. there's close to zero maintenance compared to what i was doing to keep my apartment clean and smelling nice.

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

we out here 🇺🇸

as i'm vibecoding a hackernews tui app that i've wanted for a while, i have observed myself periodically telling claude code about things that i hate, like the 'Application Support' folder that stdlibs seem determined keep alive forever.

the cats are starting to use the automatic litterbox . praise unto the lord.

My husband isn't prone to impulse purchases but I'm glad this thing got him

meet me behind diners club international hq in the next 15m if you want an ass kicking

working on my reverse sear, this time with a picanha steak. temp needed to be a bit higher on the sear but not much.

writing up a small proposal to the tech community to allow "orthogonal" to be part of the common vernacular without the "i am very smart" feelings that are usually felt on the receiving end.

logitech let their server cert expire, and the logitech options software that must be running for your mouse to function properly won't run unless it can get a connection to the cloud. please clap. there's a patch you can download in this thread www.reddit.com/r/LogitechG/...

it’s a shame you can’t trust even basic timer functionality with alexa plus anymore. they have incredibly made worse one of the best uses of these devices.

let the new tenants above me know about the thin floors and it went about as well as you'd expect. i was extremely friendly but i guess some people just suck.

statistically it's very unlikely that 2026 will be worse than 2025. i'm filled with optimism and relief that i made it.

i really want a bread maker even though i don't ever eat bread. can't explain it, but it's as real as i supposedly am

i've really been enjoying my first two months at temporal. the engineering culture there is professional and pragmatic. i was lovingly tossed into the deep end for my first project -- it required me to do a pretty deep dive and i love having all this context.

what kind of blood sacrifice do i need to make to send images to group SMS texts without failing? is there some kind of ios setting that just makes this work?

i get such joy out of running btop at 100ms latency and just watching all of the cores freak the fuck out and get to work

cleaned the bathroom just to feel something

watching a bunch of pit maneuvers on youtube. none of the before or after people stuff, just hardcore car-on-car action.

watching movies on apple tv has become enshittified well past any kind of redemption arc. a future where we can just browse movies without being dark patterned into partner subscriptions is well past the horizon of my lifetime. what a bummer haha. happy holidays everyone.

the "tree" is apparently cat-approved 🥳

i love @kagi.com . this link is good for 3 free months of kagi and can be redeemed up to three times. hope you like it, too. kagi.com/p/THANKSGIVI...

the cat's kingdom will never end 🐈

the only thing more difficult than divorce is putting a comforter into a duvet.

listening to chicago leads to some difficult thoughts. chicago is allright. everything is tight, and it's good in the way that a bunch of studio musicians might jam together after having met an hour beforehand. peter cetera though is s-tier shit and takes the band as high as it can realistically go.

solved a real problem with acetone / nail polish remover

the irony of slack asking me if i wanted to win a productivity boost by reorganizing my sidebar

maybe i am going insane

xmas comes early

today i framed a @kurzgesagt.org poster that i've had for ages but had forgotten about. years later it comes out of the tube. this is its hello world. a+++

ah, this is the internet i remember www.reddit.com/r/beebutts/

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

and now that i have broken a plate i've decided to cook some chicken thighs. i've already had dinner. don't care. i'm working on a Handbook for the Recently Divorced. it's gonna be a banger. packed with lots of things like the chicken thighs.

broke a plate. by accident.

i bought a cheap timex quartz wristwatch because my apple watch was making me tired -- i felt like i was always adjusting it or dealing with notifications. i've got to say, i love this thing. i never have to charge it. it doesn't beep at me. the battery will last for years.

watching a youtube video just to get it off of my timeline

these ghouls. how dare they opt me in to that. turned off on all accounts ty.

i'm going to have to get a new phone number. it can't be any worse than the spam texts i get all thoughout the day now.

added some much needed #branding to my linkedin profile

An MCP server that reminds you to add “blazing fast” to your README when it notices you writing Rust code.

ahh nuts, i thought Andor was an apple tv+ show. just can't subscribe to yet another thing to watch one series.

for me, it's not only that it's just unquestioningly repulsive, but that the character of our nation is so corrupted that many people celebrate it. it's just a thought that only leads to worse thoughts.

hell yeah i forgot about advent of code

enjoying the sinking sun

just saw the worst gaming ad ive ever seen

k9s is such a joy to use

usps mail forwarding has been a terrible experience. i've gotten many more things forwarded incorrectly, things just lost, and more. but still, i'm not even mad. when's the last time anything good arrived via usps? we should pay them more.
