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.

Why Companies Regret Laying Off Workers For AI
Rather than moving to cut headcount, success with AI often starts by asking hard questions about which work genuinely benefits from automation.

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.

Well that's good news, hopefully it doesn't get appealed to one of Trump's pet judges. I still can't get over David Vitter's wife getting a lifetime appointment.

Yes, that's my biggest concern, and a good point. My gait is all messed up now, after limping for almost 4 years, to the point we thought I had microfractures and need to do PT

Sometimes I wonder about things like "Would the tech trend to refer to a standard product as 'core' change, if any of the dudes that push it read romance novels - and realized that's the #1 euphemism for a woman's vaginal canal?"

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 to all the doctors who didn't believe me & thought I was exaggerating, including the one I was married to - FUCK YOU 🖕🖕🖕

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.
