Yeah the legislators don't understand how this stuff works. I'm in VA but the geotools think my landline ISP places me in MD (which I think is technically less restrictive for some things?)

Judging by the big box stores spooky season was last month, this month is christmas trees and new year's stuff

But even if you get diagnosed, school systems answer is "drug em up" rather than trying to do accommodations as the first try. And then you end up having to either deal with the side-effects or live with it untreated. Source: my reality

You have to admit tho...a house fire is a VERY quick way to increase the temperature inside the house. Only problem is its kinda slow and expensive to refuel.

Unless you're REALLY good at leading people on...the videos are a great value in learning...and very entertaining!

Is it REALLY necessary to relive hell all day every year???

We won't need any killer's watts. All we need is some electrizzical.

Watch vs. Warning: A Watch means conditions are favorable so stay alert and informed. A Warning means severe weather is happening and it’s time to take cover now! ⛈️ Remember the difference with our fun pizza demo. 🍕😋 #NationalPreparednessMonth

I wonder if this can be combined with a drinking game? Some high proof booze and fire?

I love Windows for a home theater - its amazing when it randomly forgets what an audio device is...or forgets the surround receiver can do more than just stereo out...

Don't worry, they'll just open up with a new jobbeish name after "going out of business"

Well at least today is making up for yesterday...

Mowed the lawn, weather is positively spectacular, got some Red Baron brick oven pizza added minced garlic, baking some Motor City Pizza Co cheese sticks, Bold Rock hard cider and county music cranked up a bit... feeling on top of the damned world better than I can ever remember for a change...

Vibes of college taking inventory of a projector screen by standing on a tall rolling swivel chair held in place by another student worker...

I make no promises...I have a few things I may or may not get around to on my todo list involving a ladder. Including hanging storage hooks and attempting to weld a cracked steel garage door. Managed to replace the door opener belt drive without falling though...

MattBatt @computergeek06.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Tossing it while lit sounds a lot more exciting though...

Man its been a long time since I have got on there. Are you on DMR-MARC, Brandmeister, or one of the other random networks?

I don't know, playing with my welder can be quite a fun toy...

Ours do - though amusingly my small fridge has no light (but my even smaller car fridge does)

Old ones sucked way more (in the useful way)...new ones suck way too much (in the useless way)...

Another take could be "we don't want the procurement and expenditure records shared, we want to do whatever we think un-audited"

MattBatt @computergeek06.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

I suppose they never said the purpose of the eye drops, so that still could be on the table...

Halloween already?! I guess I should just be grateful it's not Christmas...

A bunch of us are pissed at work because Copilot is now rolled out in Office365 by group policy so it can't be turned off...and keeps nagging to help ruin documents (including those tech writers already vetted and corrected to meet deliverable standards)

Sitting here where the heat index is nearly 130F actual temp 100F reading how somehow Europe thinks its us Americans to blame for using air conditioning why its hot over there...*scratches head*

Would love to see that around here - drops off nicely at the edge of the white line, usually if someone goes over the line they're gonna need a tow truck to get back on the road

Get some soldering tweezers (like 2 irons connected at a pivot) makes de-soldering SMD without damage SO much easier

MattBatt @computergeek06.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

I would love to know how they managed to design a circuit that accomplished that...wild!

I'm ready for a weekend, someone today at work was quite sure it was Tuesday, this afternoon I was quite sure it was Thursday, such a headache so tired.

MattBatt @computergeek06.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Really wanting some good snuggling lately...

I see a little green cat in there!

Can't help but wonder if a venue doing AI art could be something like corporate pushing "anything booked at our place should use our AI BS being paid for to justify its use". I hate that seems to be increasingly commonplace companies buy into AI then try to force its use.

MattBatt @computergeek06.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

I don't recognize most of the people I see but I was able to recognize a few...such as @coopertom.bsky.social (who I happened to run into twice by random!)

There's going to be a fursuiters parade Saturday 2-4PM usually does a lap under the convention center where the general public can see! Also typically people roaming around the surrounding blocks in costume as they get food or whatever.

MattBatt @computergeek06.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Doesn't feel like it should already be Anthrocon so soon

Wish I had something more helpful to say but we'll be here for you and hoping things get better!

Really hope this vacation goes well, feels like I can't do anything right outside of work :(

I mean its not great but good-enough

Wait...those appear to be internal solder tab type ones used for industrial product assembly, not consumer batteries. Are the industrial batteries also subject to that, and can the pick n part machines open child proof packaging?
