Here is an absolute classic comment from an online resource trying to help me. "We renamed this thing everywhere except where you have to interact with it." GO AWAY. Why would I want to use this?

Screenshot of black on white text that says:

Microsoft recently renamed this service from "Artifact Signing" to "Trusted Signing," but the Azure portal search results and backend resource namespaces still use the older terminology.

31 years ago about now. Well wherever we were, it was 6pm. These were pinned on me for the first time while underway. A damn fine moment.

A silver metal United States Navy Submarine Warfare insignia pin resting on a wooden surface. The pin features a central submarine flanked by two inward-facing dolphins over stylized waves.

The original set and still have marks on my chest where they were "tacked on" by my friends. Kids, marriage aside my biggest and proudest life achievement.

And yes I know pretty much exactly where in the world we were. Cool shit.

Alright team. Headed in for the MRI to rule out the big scary MSA. Cross all the fingers, toes, etc. Also another plug for the amazing Mayo grippy socks.

A selfie of a middle-aged man with short graying hair, a gray beard, and black-rimmed glasses. He is wearing a light blue hospital gown and appears to be in a medical room. An IV line is taped to his right arm, and a white bandage is wrapped around his left arm.

MSA is the scariest possibility and I would be lying to say I’m not incredibly nervous and worried.

See ya on the other side of this test.

#Lazyweb, is there known ways to speed up windows builds on github actions? Rust/Tauri app build and unit testing.

A user interface panel from Github Actions titled 'Matrix: matrix' showing the status of four build jobs. Three jobs have a green success checkmark: 'linux-arm64' (13m 44s), 'linux-x86_64' (14m 13s), and 'macos-arm64' (6m 55s). The fourth job, 'windows-x86_64', has a yellow circle indicating it is still in progress or pending, with a time of 28m 36s.

Oh Health app, do I have some new for you.

A smartphone notification from the Health app, indicated by a white icon with a red heart. The notification title is 'Low Walking Steadi...' and the body text reads: 'Your Walking Steadiness is low and you may have an increased risk of falling in the next 12 months.'

This of course is two and half months after I actually fell. I also now pass out and “fall” into a chair or bed 2-3 times a week so I find this funny.

Hey, look Jerry! I did it! I finally got the Mariners in the World Series!

Image from the MapQuest "make up a name for Lake Ontario" since that is all the rage today. Rage being the key word. Mine says "Lake World Mariners Series".

You see, the word Mariners is in between World.......I will show myself out.

Doc said I should consider a smoothie at breakfast. Smoothies are just fruit and dairy in a blender right? I declare this a smoothie.

A bowl with sliced strawberries, blueberries, and bananas in a bowl. And spray can whip cream on top.

Fruit + dairy = Smoothie.

The math works!!!

Mary, might I suggest getting out of the ditch? Guessing you will have more success campaigning where more people are.

Screenshot of a really annoying campaign text that says:

"It's Mary Peltola with a last-ditch request before Alaska's election day tomorrow. Please chip in:" followed by a URL to alaskans4mary.org.

As Sarah likes to say… wheeeeeeeeeee Anyone spare a few points of systolic?

Blood pressure chart showing BP of 95/68 with a pulse of 91.

I really could use that systolic (top number) to stay at 110 since I lose another 20 points when I stand.

This not fun anymore

Just trust me on this one.

A meme with a picture of an upside down turtle stuck on its shell. It says on the top "IF YOU FALL AND BREAK YOUR BACK" and then on the bottom says "DO NOT BE TEMPTED TO PLAY WITH THE DOG ON THE FLOOR."

And trust me on this one. Back is healing nicely. I was as stuck as the damn turtle. Family and I had tears laughing so hard. And yes they did help me up.

I'm sure I would've figured something out fairly quickly. But I am NOT positive I would've figured something out.

Absolutely love Drill Bit city for early 2000's web site and aol email address. They are truly lovely people and if you bits in bulk, they are winners. Laugh every time I go to their site though.

$Screenshot of an early-2000s style e-commerce website titled "Drill Bit City" with red, white, and silver branding. The main banner reads "Tungsten Carbide Drill Bits" followed by text describing bulk ordering options and custom sets. Below the intro text, product categories are listed in a grid with small thumbnail photos showing sets of colorful, small drill bits stored upright in plastic cases. Categories include wire size, metric, and fractional resharpened drill bit multi-packs, ranging from 2-packs to 50-packs. A dark grey sidebar on the left features bright red navigation buttons linking to various tools and site information.$

“Step on a crack, break your mother’s back.” Two questions. (1) Is this curse limited to mothers or can be fathers also caught by the curse? (2) Can I blame one of my children for this? Oh, one more follow up. Anyone up to help on a farm for a couple of months?

Picture of me in a hospital gown suddenly feeling very old and wearing the latest in hospital attire in a sheet covered chair.

Ted has been promoted to 3D quality engineer here at Barn Analytics. In his spare time, he chases rodents on the farm, sleeps, and plays with his brother Aspen.

A couple thousand kids and adults paused their robot championship competition to watch. Able to hear a pin drop does not come close to explaining the silence as Artemis II approached the water. The cheer for the safe splashdown was as loud as the silence. Top twenty moment in my life.

A picture of a crowd watching a live stream of Artemis II in a large college basketball gym. You can see the scaffolding from the AV system in the foreground of the screen.

Do you have a moment to hear about our savior?

Aspen, our white barn cat who thinks he belongs on the couch is looking sad through the back door.

And don’t feel bad for him with his heated couch and lots of food. He is absolutely not house broken so is not allowed in.

But he is an absolute love and tries most nights to look pathetic in hopes we will let him in.

Always looks like there are little creatures in the 3D printer holding the object.

Picture inside a running 3D printer in the middle of printing a circular object that has a woven look. It is white. The supports that are generated appear to be growing out of the base with “arms” grabbing the object.
