According to this study out of Korea if boys also got the HPV vaccine at the same rate it is advocates for girls it would eliminate cervical cancer at just 65 percent vaccinated population of men along side their 88 percent. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Alexa+ says the Mole Asses I added to the grocery list are “quite the unusual ingredient” and wants to know what I plan to cook.

It would be nice if Windows knew what size each monitor was and not just the resolution. It would make positioning multiple different monitors smoother if it could better interpret where to make things appear as they cross screen boundaries.

It’s miserable, raining, humid and not cold enough to bundle up. Time for soup. Roasted chicken, leeks, mushrooms, carrots, turnips, sweet potato, celery, sage, rosemary, thyme, Parmesan rind, white wine, stock, butter. Cream will go in later.

Alexa+ adds little remarks when you add stuff to your grocery list like “sounds like you’ve got a yummy dinner planned”. Really appreciate that she said nothing when I told her to add gas-x to the list.

"Say it!" "No!" "Say it, Hans." "My name's not Hans!" "I WILL drop you." “Fine, okay, you win!” “I need to hear you say it.” "Die Hard is a Christmas movie!"

Florida Problems: It’s December. It was almost 80F yesterday and the AC isn’t working. Good thing it’ll be cool all weekend and we can have it fixed Monday.

If it is the stance of this administration that drugs are weapons in armed conflict … shouldn’t my right to bear those arms not be infringed?

I’m old enough, and immature enough, to think that Cyber Monday sounds like a sexting holiday. Would be more enjoyable for sure.

If MS could put some of the folks who made the VS ‘26 UI so responsive on the team for SSMS - that would be GRREAAAT #dotnetconf FYI - SSMS ‘22 preview is sooo slooow

Christian Nationalists: QUESTION: How often is Jesus mentioned in the Constitution? ANSWER: Zero times.

The more I look at React apps, the more I think that JS/front-end devs have been busy making work for themselves for years. A UI component library should not have 1k+ lines of JS for a dropdown.

I like a lot about different programming languages. Ruby can execute actual poetry. JS is incredibly powerful, Java has some damned cool features. But at the end of the day, most of them do not have the level of quality tooling that I think developers need. .NET tooling is second to none.

Got the family registered to see @scalzi.com at the Jacksonville Main Library next month! One of my kids is going to be thrilled to get a book signed. He’s loved KPS, Starter Villain, and Redshirts.

Ok, she was fantastic on Discovery. She’s fantastic in The Residence. Starfleet Academy has some excellent talent on deck.

who called it a Kubernetes penetration test and not a clusterfuck

Windows really needs a “block this Bluetooth device” feature so that my laptop will NEVER AUTOMATICALLY CONNECT TO MY LIVING ROOM SPEAKERS WHILE ON A TEAMS CALL.

Weird world we live in. I just told my 5yo to give himself insulin. If he overdosed, he could die. And yet I trust him. He has good tools with guardrails. Still, this feels like payback for being a latchkey kid.

Germany’s Chancellor Merz presented Trump the birth certificate of his German grandfather, Friedrich Trump. It was a clever jab to remind Trump he’s a German immigrant.

I’ve been jumping through hoops today to get something working, and I think I finally got it. Integration tests with #DotNet #Aspire that run locally and in Jenkins (docker in docker). Had to work out why dcp said “file not found” in an Alpine image, and run my app via the Dockerfile.

TEVA would like to think that the best time to advertise to you is RIGHT AFTER YOU BUY SHOES. How many feet you think I got? I already bought two pair. Go the fuck away.

It’s a David Bowie kinda day. I’m afraid of Americans. #PopeLeoThe14th

He’s free to self-deport, if he can find somewhere that will take him.

Oh wow. Just finished S2 of Yellowjackets. Why did I wait this long? And the music choices are great.

Please enjoy your day.

Am I to understand that people like the way Costco constantly moves things around? It makes my skin crawl. I realize they carry one-time or limited time stuff, but the entire bread section doesn’t need to move around the store.

That’s more like it. Windows open all around the house.

Damnit VSCode, you keep suggesting bullshit to help me code and it is all wrong and there is no good way to disable it.
