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 · 25/01/2026…just realized MTP has today’s clips on their website w/o subscription… maybe on til they get sued for alleged slanted coverage. 010
William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 25/01/2026Might be good to miss the talking heads. The guest on today’s MTP just alleged that due to the last few weeks, there is no peaceful protest, and everyone who gets harmed in the way is the result of intentional attempts in to prevent ICE operations, and they get what they get. 110
William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 21/01/2026It’s funny the aviation data… that he’s probably ignoring… It’s clear where that flight is going. 000
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 · 17/01/2026That’s a great debate, because on the job, with two or three monitors, you can call up the specifications on one of those extra monitors. 000
William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 14/01/20264G LTE Home Internet seems unaffected. 5G dead as doornail.

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 · 28/12/2025I bought a loss leader fridge. I had to remove a cabinet to make it fit, but the fridge was dirt cheap, like under $1100 for a French door bottom mount. 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 · 28/12/2025I use this more and more that I have four vehicles in the house. The Subaru is the only one with the fuel door on the right side, but that arrow saves my bacon. 010

William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 13/12/2025Speed limiters might not be required by law, but many cars have limiters already, although 4k rpm in highest gear, or 110mph+ is a big distance from 55-70mph. 020
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 · 22/09/2025He’s probably asking why they sell so many shades of white paint, when there’s a whole palette. 100

William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 02/08/2025I’m really upset here. I’ve been a regular sonar to a few public media outlets. I sent a few dollars every month. Without Federal assistance, was I just wasting time, prolonging their demise? I don’t even watch PBS, but I threw a few dollars their way each month. I free the new monthly request… 000
William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 02/08/2025Huh? I should reboot the ol’ BBS? I haven’t looked for that backup for over 20 years now. 120

William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 02/08/2025It’s on Fox. Therefore. It’s correct. End of discussion. Other media outlets have to pay stump for forgiveness of their many sins and corruption. (Just ask our president) 000

William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Ok, I didn’t buy abelkin, but I did buy my sprayers and cables this morning. (Can never have enough cables or adapters, and this way I know when I get home I’ll still have enough, because I now have ‘home’ and ‘away’ charging setups. 000

William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Gawd, I’m like a dinosaur with a car phone that they connected to a huge battery and then crammed into a plastic case to call it portable. It literally JUST made phone calls. 000
William Bailey @dalanshark.bsky.social · 01/08/2025I keep trying to find pictures of my first cell phone, a GE-branded car phone shoved into a plastic case to include a battery… it literally _just_ made phone calls. 010
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 · 10/06/202590 minutes later, they actually performed the repair that they charged two hours for, and “cleaned out a lot of sticky goo.” (Yeah, she is 14+ years old, but like, duh, the VIN tells you that she is old, the odometer is over 130k, but yeah, I am a bad auto owner. Fine) 010
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
