Well, I'm a little miffed at Johnson Controls at the moment. In September, they shut down the app they put out that controls my Lux smart thermostat for the house. I've only had the thing for three years. Yes, it's one of the older Geo models, but, damn... Not really thrilled about needing to […]

One of my neighbors was walking by as I was mowing the lawn just now. He said, "Looks like a golf course!" I'm pretty sure he was joking... it doesn't look THAT manicured, but it's been slowly improving since I moved in... Still needs a lot of work, but it does look better. Always nice when […]

On the way home from work today, I was REALLY glad I know how to replace the brakes on my car, and that I had the wherewithal to check my rear view mirror. Some moron pulled out of a gas station right in front of me. I had to get on the brakes. Hard. If I hadn't put brakes on the car two weeks […]

The Wife approved the purchase of a new flagpole to replace the one I built with camo net poles. I erected it yesterday. Now I need to bond all the parts together electrically, run coax out there, drop a ground plane in the grass, and set up a tuner that can handle tuning a 30' aluminum mast […]

I'm beginning to wonder if my little one-person instance has been de-federated by a majority of the fediverse. I've been posting, but most of the (very few) responses have been from people I haven't "friended" here. Could just be bad timing, I guess.

I just got done thatching my mom's lawn, after I mowed it. Had to mow it again after I thatched it to get all the dead grass up. I swear she had enough thatch in her grass to re-roof most of the UK.

Yesterday I put new front brakes on my car. Rotors were $130.00 EACH. A bit of sticker shock there, but I don't have a lathe to turn the old ones, and the old ones had over 120k miles on them anyway. Today I ran new conduit and two electrical circuits between mom's house and her garage (because […]

Got rear-ended on the way in to work yesterday. Kid (with an already broken hand) was tailgating, traffic ahead of me came to a stop, so did I, he didn't. Car's drivable, but I'm going to need to replace the rear bumper, impact absorbers, etc, in order to make it fully safe again. I'm a bit sore […]

Could someone explain to me what is wrong with seeing and pointing out the faults of "both sides"? It seems that #bothsideism or #bothsidesing has become a dirty word, and a way to dismiss people's thoughts, or the people themselves, simply because they're not giving you full-throated support […]

I think one of the buckets of paint here on the jobsite has gone bad... The painters are painting with it, though, even though there's a not-good smell. I wonder if this is what a dominatrix's soiled clothing hamper smells like?

Curious about something. #Australia citizens, I recently learned that voting is MANDATORY for you. What happens if you don't vote? What are the penalties? How do you protest that there isn't a candidate you want to vote *for*?

Having some odd behavior from one of my Proxmox nodes... including the one this instance is hosted on. Too braindead to figure it out right now... May shut the instance down for the time being.

Follow requests from people I don't know, and who have their accounts so locked down I can't even view what they've posted on the server they're on, will be summarily and immediately rejected without prejudice. It's not a personal judgement of those people.. it's self-preservation. I'm picky […]

I just got all the credit cards from Newton's treatment paid off. Camille had been having a grand Mal seizure for the last 25 minutes. Cushing's is taking her from us. The other two (Fosters) are going nuts because they sense the distress.. I fucking hate this. #dogsofmastodon

Ever wanted to just give up, but know you can't just give up, because if you give up then everything and everyone around you will be impacted negatively? Yeah. I'm there.

Why is it that people who say they'd like you around because of your ability to speak truth to power distance themselves from you after you speak truth to power? People suck. Seriously.

With temperatures soaring into the upper 90s and a heat index peaking near 105, thousands across metro Detroit are dealing with a quiet but widespread summer struggle: swamp ass. “It’s like someone duct taped a crockpot to my lower back,” said Allen Park resident Mike Rotch, who admitted to […]
