Few hundred liters of olive oil in our future. Our trees are 4 km from the center of Loreto Aprutino. One of the three cities that make up Italy's Golden Triangle of olive oil production :) It's going to be straight pimp juice.

Farmers are on site at the Drift Farm / Fattoria del la Drift They cut back in the groves around the olive trees in prep for the start of our harvest. Clean flat ground will make it a lot easier to lay out the nets / tarps before we start raking the trees.

Generation X grew up as kids fed the lie that cops were good and there to help you. Our music said don't fall for it. Now into our adulthood we see the citizenry daily carrying cameras in their hands that expose the evil perpertrated by our enforcement class to the world as soon as it happens.

Passport issues vanquished... pick it up tomorrow. And then it's back to Italia next week to help bring in the Sunflowers and Olives. ProTip kids: make sure your passport isn't in your pants before you throw them into the washing machine...

To the chud that bought an ATX PSU off amazon, swapped what was in the box with their burned out PSU, and returned the PSU to Amazon for a refund... Just got your 'Certified Refurbished' PSU, stinking of burned epoxy, beat to shit. Here's to the hope that everybody you love gets cancer and dies.

I thought I tore one of my bionic rotator cuffs today In my almost entirely artificial right shoulder fucking around in drift cars. shoulder has hurt like absolutely hell after drifting and I just assumed I broke something mechanical in it.

Presenting: My last two laps of the day around Valley Drift Club Meihan in the rental E36 Missile ~ last laps of the day always feel great... Proud of that little backie I threw in on the second one, felt awesome. One hand on the wheel, politely suggesting where I'd like to go, waving to friends :)

I've spent over the last year learning how to build my own 3D printer from base components to solve a problem because there's not a printer that will quite do what I need it to do for this very specific use case. Very much non-weapons by the way, Motorsports.

Just over 3 years ago to the day that I started down the path learning to competitively drift using Modern XR hardware and software. Wrote tools, ended up being a product. With that said, I present to you, the sweetest Sim-Drifting victory I have ever had in my three years in the Virtual Cockpit.

The biggest problem with breaking down setting up a TikTok account is I have had an opinion the people in San Francisco around me were far more articulate and self-aware given the level of elevation that the city supposedly operates at. TikTok is showing me that that is very much not the case.

A peek at the companion UI for the CompBetty system. We're calling it 'Caster' As in, "CompBetty will get your caster / camber / rake / trail / toe perfect on all 4 corners so can huck and slide to a cozy victory." It is, to put it politely.... incredibly anti-modern-glass-burger-button trend.

Paint things with a broad brush, I call you on bullshit. Open up your mind a little bit, learn to differentiate. You loops are why I'm picking up my ball and leaving the playground for a farm in the middle of nowhere to play with my toys in relative peace. Ya'll can't tell a wrench from a bomb.

Olives are coming in nice at the Drift Farm / Fattoria del la Drift :) I gotta savor this sitting on my ass doing VR dev because harvest ain't that far away. And I'm going to be praying for the sweet release of death about a week into it. #Penne #Abruzzo #Italy #FarmSky
