Baby's first pull station replacement! Shattered one had been in a boiler room since 1997, and still alarmed! Too bad the shattered case means the alarm couldn't reset 🤭

My current favorite job fact I've learned recently is that old 80s fire alarms that used March Time for the audible alarm sequence are literally referring to the audible beats sounding at the 120bpm standard American march tempo

Fun times at work yesterday. Didn't even find the devices I was looking for, but I did have a great time climbing over shit.

Today I learned that Friday Night Funkin is a Madness spinoff and I don't know what to make of this information

I, uh, was given a 60s-ish era very basic record player by a coworker who upgraded to a better one. I'm sure it's not the absolute best thing to be putting my records on, but Tournament Arc is sounding pretty good!

Big fuse, found on roof of job site while hunting for duct detectors

"Happy snow day, go get up on the roof of 2 different buildings!" 💀 I complain because I like the narrative format complaining provides, but getting to casually walk around roofs is still very fun

28 hours into the #BM100 1 runner is on loop 1 and loop 2; 4 runners are on loop 3.

Historically speaking, Damo, Seb, and Mathieu are on pace with the slower Fun Run finishers of 2022-24. But then again, the first two loops being CCW this year (and difficult additions to the course) makes direct comparisons hard. I'm very curious to see how this first clockwise loop ends up. #bm100

Anyone treating Discord's age verification announcement like a decision that happened in a vacuum is not paying attention. (1/9)

Idk if FCI makes the actual worst fire panels or if my region is just unlucky, but oh my goddddddd

Re-soldered one Guitar Hero controller, and oh my god it feels so good to be back

Overhead views of DC from a condo rooftop

FCI S3 Series panels can go straight to hell

The only instruments in the key of G are alto flute, some ocarinas and other folk instruments, some mandolins and a handful of other guitar-like instruments... and the Deluxe Otamatone™️

Watching the other people in bootcamp squirm and rearrange their junks in full body lift harnesses while I'm having zero issues makes me very pleased to be trans masc as opposed to a cis man

Doing CPR training today and already entertained by the instructor assembling newborns

The District of Columbia filed an emergency motion Friday to block the Trump administration from taking control of its police department. A judge will hear arguments at 2 p.m.

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025! survey.gendercensus.com It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

Trans friends in the US who buy your own syringes, & anyone else this might be relevant to: Just discovered my usual ones are on indefinite backorder because they're made in China. It's a good idea to double-check yours NOW, before you start running low, so you can find alternatives if needed.

Never in a million years did I EVER think I'd need to use calculus for my hobbies or job, yet here we are.

Guy in office: You'll be back after your lead tech sends you running around a giant job site looking for devices. Me: ...But that's the part of the job I'm most looking forward to?

Someone at my job actually referred to me as them in an email to someone else???? In a trades company???? I'm in shock

I want people to remember this week the next time they want to claim that 50 degrees in February is "beautiful weather".

Found 2 new brands of pants that fit me, bringing the total up from 1 to 3 😁

My mother rescued a kitten while on a bike ride???

Who Knows by the Zac Brown Band sounds a whole lot like a jam session that was refined JUST enough to wind up on an album

As part of the new @gamegrooves.com Persona compilation, "Lounging in the Velvet Room," we took on the challenge of smoothing out this P2 ripper with a couple of our friends! Join us, @covertcharisma.bsky.social and Kev Ragone for a stanky rendition of the Innocent Sin battle theme!

"Hello we'd like to promote you to a supervisor-y role" Wonderful time to tell you I'm gunning to be a technician

Very upsetting news: ReMixer Level 99 & Vilecat's 5-year-old Xavier has masses in his brain & spine. PLEASE support their GoFundMe at ANY amount you can. 🆘 gofundme.com/f/help-stevo... Please help a lonely fight feel less lonely. Would you mind taking one moment to please share?

It is amazing to me how many trade tools you can just go buy on a whim without needing a corporate login or anything

Linux installation and cable-making party for 19 laptops

I spend so much time in Oblivion being grossly over-encumbered. I looted this boatload of crap fair and square and by god I'm gonna sell it.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

While I'm on a roll, it's common sense that musical communities primarily for amateurs of all skill levels will have way more kids and socially awkward people in them than communities that are inclusive but obviously designed for professionals. I cannot believe that's surprising to some people.

Because of the layoffs at NIOSH, multiple lifesaving programs have been shut down even though they’re required by law.

1/? I think it's critically important to remember that all-ages communities, by definition, should prioritize being welcoming and accommodating to members of all ages. Teenagers and children do not always act like adults and deserve the grace to act their age in these spaces.

"What's wrong?" I had to strategically plan where to blink for 5 minutes and it caused a contact lens to fall out. "...huh?" Beat Saber 🤷

Incredible

Learned how to use a fire extinguisher, got to use one on a live (contained) fire, wind blew the powder all over all the participants so now we all smell like sulfur and desperately need showers. Very good day so far 😁

Go from bored at work to overwhelmed in seconds with a ✨mail merge✨ Ohhhh my god
