Idk who needs to know this, but friendly reminder that you should never, ever reply to unsolicited text/email messages. Always login to the website for the company the text claims it's from, and check on things from a different channel to confirm it's legit.

Pleased to announce that in this, the year of our Lord 2026, through what miracle of backwards compatibility assurance I know not what, my 2013 Pioneer car stereo and my Google Pixel phone suddenly play nicely together. I can even see my recent songs on YouTube. May miracles never cease.

#TIL the word Mahogany is actually African origin (like so many things, including humans) despite commonly used mahogany varieties actually being from the Philippines or South America www.recordonline.com/story/entert...

Hey, red, ... In search of the perfect piece of mahogany

I was putting the finishing touches on a cedar arbor and needed one more piece of wood, a piece that, although thin, had to be extra strong as well as attractive and decay resistant. Pressure-treated…

Ok yeah the recommendations for the color I wanted for the back door from the kid and the lady at the Sherwin Williams store were right - this Wild Poppy is def my new favorite color. I'm so excited I wish I didn't still have to finish sanding and priming 😂😭 it's sooooo pretty

Your friendly reminder that data centers are a neutral concept. It's when companies try to take shortcuts with cooling + energy that they are a problem. That is not unique to data centers although they bring the issue into clear focus - industrial facilities MUST be required to consume responsibly

#ADDlifeprotip #2 - you may think you can leave that painters tape up for a second. After all, it's on the brick, and you're coming right back to paint another coat, right? WRONG. You are completely wrong and might not touch that shit again for a month. Go take it off now. Right now.

I've decided to start a #ADDlifeprotip thread. Tip #1 - I am aware they added the H. I also don't care. That alone probably cost millions of young kids a needed diagnosis because they could sit still.

I think I’m officially old. One of my (not THAT much) younger colleagues told me she wants to be like me when she grows up, after a particularly contentious meeting lol. The irony is I HATE that type of thing but sometimes I have no choice but to fight back on a particularly bad idea.

Anybody else grab their keys and wallet to go outside, even if they're not actually leaving, so you can trick the dog into thinking you left (so they don't get their feelings hurt bc they can't go outside)? No? Only me? Oh.

Today in #shitdoctorssay - "you were right" - the vascular surgeon to me, about my theory that my leg pain since 2022 was caused by an injury during the femoral catheter I got.

So, I decided to use some of the new smart light lightbulbs for my back patio. I thought that meant that the bulbs were smart, but turns out to get them to all sync, on schedules, & hear music means you need a masters degree in lightbulb applications. I’m not sure I’m smart enough for smart bulbs.

Floor mounted is not a real goddamn thing. This type of thing drives my systems brain batshit crazy. If it's on the floor, it's not mounted ffs. I do not care if the API/algorithm won't return a result without an exact match, so you needed something to identify non-wall mounted.

The nice thing about wood is that if some dude leaves big pieces sitting around outside, which are too heavy for you to move, eventually they will simply rot and then be nicely portable yay #HomeImprovement

A piece of what was very expensive lumber to be used in a closet, instead rotted until it could be broken in half by a person that is a bit of a weakling.

Anybody want to help me pick paint colors for my big garage door? It's detached with fencing so you can't tell it's part of the house, so the idea is to choose a color that carries through to the patio and brick (inspo photo with my boy Luke on the left)

Its illogical how cathartic I feel to redecorate after a breakup, it's not like those dudes GAF about decor (or most of my interests) beyond "where can I put my video game and/or things that should have been left at the bar" anyway 😂 But it is, plus look at how cute this print & new bedspread are!
