I have to laugh at people who memorized and learned how to implement patterns are threatened by machines that can replicate and implement patterns faster and cheaper. That's what machines do. It's what industrial revolutions do.

Relationships are work. These lazy fucks don't want to do the work. They'll hook up for a short period, then find their next dopamine hit because they don't want to do the work needed to maintain a relationship. If they have kids, we'll have even more emotionally fucked up people.

Put a piece of tape over the lock mechanism when you reach your destination. That way, the car will be there for you when you want a ride back. No waiting.

Let's do simple stupid math. ATL is a +100 MAP - Million Air Passengers airport. At 10%, that's 10 million passengers over a year. Holiday travel estimates are 4 million passengers. Sounds like a recipe for economic pain.

The airport is playing Flock of Seagulls in the terminal. I feel so old. It's the equivalent of hearing the Andrews Sisters sing Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy in the 1980s. Worlds that no longer exist.

Speaking as someone who has received public assistance, Americans love to offer aid then gatekeep because they love to punch down on people in need. Makes them feel superior or some stupid shit.

As someone who has run campaigns, last minute endorsements do little to move the needle. It's a weasley move motivated by a hint of being primaried.

Confluence, which looks and behaves as a glorified wiki from the early 2000s, is still a thing. How is this possible when there are collaboration tools that don't require you to hit a save button to make a change?

FOSS4GNA is coming in November 2025
I realize as I type this I should have said something sooner. So I'll be in Reston November 3-5th 2025 talking, hanging out, and annoying people at FOSS4GNA 2025. If you're at the conference track me down. If you're in the area and you're interested in QGIS track me down. This one hits a bit different because at the last one in 2024 I did my best to die during it.
