Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 07/10/2026we really need a hero that will bravely crash into these cars on their bike, injure themselves, and then the driver will have to wait for police or emergency services, or it would be leaving the scene of an accident something ala www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzE-...youtube.comBike Lanes by Casey NeistatYouTube video by CaseyNeistat 020
Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 07/10/2026don't get the safe streets/urbanists people involved or they will all start telling us how we have way more car crashes than other nations too 110
Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 06/10/2026I will never forget getting in our 1985 Chevy Caprice wagon one Sunday for church – tearing my pants, slicing my leg open and bleeding from the cheap wire used in the piping at the edge of the vinyl but sure, it's their current marketing 000
Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 06/10/2026There's gotta be an entire generation where whatever % of the population had GM cars is just permanently scarred from the trauma of how bad they used to be 220
Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 06/10/2026These people are culturally illiterate on some level, remember when everyone was saying "oh there's just a few bad apples" when talking about the police, too dumb to realize that the full saying they were quoting proved their critics correct. 000
Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 06/10/2026I know they are better than they once were, but I think quite a few generations remember growing up with the absolute garbage vehicles GM produced for decades and will never take a GM car seriously again. 020
Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 06/10/2026I just finished a podcast on Francis Galton and how he invented eugenics, so we do have to credit the br*tish for a few things 000
Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 05/10/2026speedometer : speedo :: pedometer : pedo ?? I can't be the only one that has this stuck in my head 000
Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 05/10/2026Petition to switch the US to the British pronunciation (and spelling) of paedophile, which just sounds so much more disgusting than US 'pedo' which always makes me think of pedometers. 000

Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 04/10/2026Hey #song and #music people, what are some good examples of songs that mimic automotive journeys, but musically? So far I've got - Beep Beep, The Playmates - Autobahn, Kraftwerk - Red Barchetta, Rush 020
Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 03/10/2026It took like 4 emails back and forth to find out which blocker and rule he was using and he was still insistent that we fix our site that was broken not his homemade proxy. We declined to change anything and never heard from that guy again. 010
Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 03/10/2026I’ll never forget the time some guy wrote me to tell me our website broke with his ad blocker. The culprit? Our advanced search page loaded an advanced_search.(js|css) and his proxy blocked all scripts and files that matched /^ad.*$/ 🤦🏼♂️ 110

Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 02/10/2026Ironically, I would check with Jewish scholars on this. Isn't something like this common for Passover where one 'rents' a shelf in their pantry to a non-Jew and they put all their yeast/bread there so that it's not in 'their' possession during Passover? 110
Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 01/10/2026This is a terrible idea. Lojack already exists for this business model and is very commonly used outside of cars on valuable equipment or theft concerns. 000

Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 30/09/2026When did they make it move? I didn't live in Portland very long, but I seem to remember it being on West Burnside when I moved there (which was a much better location, unless I'm imagining things) 210
Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 30/09/2026My face when people are shocked at the sex crimes on fancy college campuses. Where do you think these politicians and famous sex pests learn it from?? 000
Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 30/09/2026My favorite woodworker on Youtube by far is Mike Farrington, who makes great, simple videos. I don't even mind that much when someone like the Wood Whisperer is sponsored and goes out of his way to reiterate the sponsorship, and how it could bias his views. 100
Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 30/09/2026I'm sure there is a fun German compound noun for this (or at least there should be) cc @kenjennings.bsky.social 000
Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 30/09/2026Is there a word for when you are annoyed with the relative difficulty of a Jeopardy clue? Was watching one of those "this week in final Jeopardy" videos, category was famous buildings, I got really excited only to be deeply disappointed that it was super obvious (Flatiron Building). 000
Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 30/09/2026Gee Firefox, thanks for making my browser look all weird and shit for no apparent reason. Glad to see that software developers are focusing on the important bits like random gradients on UI interfaces. I'm getting too old for this shit. 020

Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 25/09/2026Playing around with the idea of making my own aluminum, machined woodworking jigs by designing something in CAD, and sending it off to JLCCNC or SendCutSend or something. Not going to save any money over commercial designs, but it's more affordable than I thought it would be. #woodworking 040

Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 25/09/2026I see folks posting new stuff for Rails, and I wanna be happy for them, but the chance of me using Rails in 2026 is slightly less than me taking up Fortran or COBOL. 000

Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 22/09/2026Many years ago while conducting interview a colleague asked a candidate "what is the thing you made that you're most proud of?" and said it didn't matter if work related, personal, hobby, whatever.

Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 22/09/2026Genuinely wonder if software is going through a "mass produced houses" phase. With the ease that new software can be built, we are abandoning and throwing away more software than ever before. When you know that what you're building won't last, how much care and attention do you put into it? 000
Mikey P @mikeyp.net · 22/09/2026Just went to "back in my day" someone on em-dashes by saying, "I've known how to type an em-dash on a mac for..." and then I paused for some head math and came up with 30 years?!? Rude. 010
