William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 12/02/2026Silly stove… one of the dual burners only powers up the outer ring, but it does seem to pay attention to the dial. Another dual burner only lights up the center, and it’s either fully on. (No low or mid). I’m sure it’s repairable, but with so many failures, there may be a new stove in my future. 000
William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 08/02/2026Brandi Carlisle is singing the American Anthem at the Super Bowl. I remember Brandi as a selection on XPN and I’m thrilled to see them get this privilege. 001
William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Yeah, I just posted in Twitter/X. Trying to reach out to Tesla support, now Elon Musk owned. Now I’m fighting with AI agents to find out how much, and who, removes and reinstalls the panels because no one repairs roofs. Sadly. I guess I could do nothing for 10 years and just use buckets. 000
William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 03/01/2026I learned this last week that totally normal oil furnaces can trigger smoke detectors, but be 100% fine. I have no idea what crap got burned off, but it stunk for days… 000
William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 28/12/2025Warranty company - we cover failures, but not fires. Me - how else does a homeowner become aware of the failure? Truth: the smoke detector detected fire, likely ions from the smoke I could see and smell. Thankfully I was home, so I could trigger the emergency shutoff.media.tenor.coma cartoon dog is sitting at a table in front of a fire with the words it 's fine everything is fineALT: a cartoon dog is sitting at a table in front of a fire with the words it 's fine everything is fine 000
William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 14/11/2025I “love “ owning a house.

William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 22/10/2025Lovely Stop Work order today. I get to collect unemployment once I burn through five weeks of banked comp leave. Had to send a bunch of status reports off-the-clock because it’s the professional thing to do. 000
William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 12/10/2025Hung out at @jawncon.bsky.social this past weekend! Handed out a few @dianainitiative.bsky.social stickers to folks that asked. 061

William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 01/08/2025I just finished seven weeks with a cohort that had been through the wringer, so to speak… which meant that I was also fair game for vengeance. I stuck with it. Made it (through the rain?) Tonight I got to log out. Now I can enjoy Hacker Summer Camp! 000
William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 25/07/2025Real world continuity plan. Can’t drive over 50 for a while, but can drive the car until the new tires arrive. Yeah, the doughnut is over 14 years old, but still works. I also found the wheel lock light that I thought I’d lost, but was sitting with this spare tire I’d not needed for over 14 years. 000
William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 30/05/2025Paid dealer to replace two pieces of plastic that were roughly $70, plus two hours of labor, plus hazmat fees to dispose of the plastic. Paid, got in the car, then asked what the heck, to find out (today) that the tech forgot to perform the line item. (I paid before seeing the tech forgot) Argh! 120

William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 11/05/2025I really wish that Sean Duffy would stop referring to air traffic controllers as ‘guys’. I understand that NOTAM was changed from Air Missions to Air Men due to EO, but the automatic bias shouldn’t be re-introduced. 000

William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 29/06/2023Our economists and politicians, and investors, don't understand the real inflation happening. So many groceries increased 50%. (or more) Today, the $60 oil change was $82. Yet, I'm "capped out", with no wage increases. The inflation is real, people. 000
William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 29/06/2023I received an unsolicited compliment today. I have zero formal authority in my current contractor role, but I said enough of the right things to three different parties, and a system owner conceded that their system needed a significant platform upgrade. #notcompletelystupid 000
