It's very easy to get depressed by the state of politics right now, but then you see interactions like this one, and it rekindles your faith. A new generation of politicians will come forward and they will be different. #AbduElSayed #USpol #Politics

Russia also needs diesel fuel. The only reason they are sending any to the US, is because Putin wants the US to be angry when Ukraine targets refineries. And Russia will only send token amounts, highly credited to Donald Trump, then blame the low quantity on Ukraine, to try and drive Trump […]

Let's see.... "forever discredited by a handful of radical ideologues who are anti-democracy and really enemies of civilization". Then goes on to say that it will be held against the whole of Norway ? So what is it ? All them or or some of them? If some, why blamed all. Oh wait, its because he […]

New instance, and I need to test federation, so here's one of my favorite photos of Kaylan (who unfortunately passed away a few months ago). Tuning server processes, so feel free to boost to make it work a bit. #CatsOfMastodon

Yay, after a week of being shocked in the shower, CityPower has finally managed to fix the issue in the street. And after 24hrs or an Operserve issue my internet is back up again. Long hot shower and internet... its on Maslows pyramid I am sure....

An important, timely reminder:

For no reason at all, and certainly not due to what I'm hearing on @cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social right now.

A chart showing that survival rate for pedestrians goes from 0/10 at 60 km/h to 6/10 at 40 km/h and 9/10 at 30 km/h.

Vancouver's "School Slow Zones" were set at 40 km/h not 30 km/h thanks to council.

"Don't touch anything with AI." I keep seeing this on my Mastodon feed. I think it's wrong, so I went looking for how pervasive it actually is. Clearly nobody is polling that exact phrase. But two proxy stories I generally found get close but they tell very different stories. Story one - […]

Coding was supposed to be the boring, technical part of building something. Now it's the part I can't stop doing. Since I started using Claude Code, I've built things I had no business building on my own: internal tools, quick prototypes, small apps that solve a real problem in an afternoon […]

Yesterday was not a great day. What started out as a quick visit to the doctor to get some life insurance stuff done, and after a few checks, he tells me "your blood pressure is waaayyy to high - 150/120. I am not even going to allow you to get onto the treadmill"...... Oh FFS. I ask him if i […]
