mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 06/02/2025no shit? That is funny. My Tesla was making a noise a few weeks ago because a leaf got caught in the cooling fan. Like a card in your bike spokes.. Never heard of a speaker doing that. 030
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 06/02/2025Read this and was reminded of a conversation I had with a 20 year old. I was explaining that I started software development back before Y2K. 'What's Y2K?' he asked. Y2K might make a good premise for a movie. And I could be a consultant on that. 010
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Actually I think he lost the popular vote when all the counting was done. 270
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 03/02/2025So Trump implemented tariffs against Mexico, Canada, and China. Then he had a 'very nice conversation' with the President of Mexico, and has paused the tariffs for 30 days because... Trump is so transparent. If you give him attention and 'respect', he caves. Why we should be afraid of Putin? 040
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 03/02/2025a lot more people are going to experience it (based on current political climate) 020
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 03/02/2025I'm trying my hardest to ignore the daily noise out of DC. My theory is, if you respond to everything, you are being vaccinated against constitutional transgressions and eventually you will have to ignore the 'small' ones. It's called flooding the zone. But even the bits I do get are cray-cray. 020
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 28/01/2025I wonder how long things will go before people start collecting pitchforks and torches? 000
Reposted by mraymondusKuntie Plopkins @kuntieplopkins.bsky.social · 28/01/2025Time to post this again 104213446086
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 26/01/2025On my way from Western NC to Orlando. Sure we had snow in the mountains, but this was along I26 and we continued to see snow as far south as Savanah. Weird. 010
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 22/01/2025I'm a software developer in a support engineer's clothing. I am working on tools to automate support. A support engineer shared samples of certain types of logs. There are two specific formats for these logs (which I am parsing). Until there was a third.. and the idea that there might be more.. 000
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 22/01/2025no sense in giving her any money. Rather than let the song start, I'd chose to ban her entirely. Thanks 011
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 22/01/2025The more I hear about Carrie Underwood, the less I like her. Wonder if Spotify allows for blocking artists? 010
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 21/01/2025Hiding up in my fortress of solitude, wrapped in a blanket of fresh snow, and ignoring the early fits of the Dictator in Chief. Also ignoring the punditry screaming about Trump's first day. Truthfully, giving Trump attention is what keeps him going. Like a childish tantrum. 000
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 21/01/2025You are right. But I think Ukraine is buying time while they remind themselves how to build a nuclear weapon. I suspect they will build one and keep it as an ace in the hole for the next Russian effort. Perhaps they will build two, and detonate one on a military target and save one for Moscow. 000
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 19/01/2025Hiking in the Blue Ridge mountains on a sunny/snowy/sleet-y day. Just what the doctor ordered. 040
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 18/01/2025That depends.. do you allow your cat on the counter? 000
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 17/01/2025Doing the final packing for a work-play week up in the mountains of North Carolina. This has the advantage of being a 'purple' area (better than red Florida), and far from the news and events of the day (especially Jan 20th). So I can live out my week and completely miss the inauguration BS. 010
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 11/01/2025I’m a cat person. Why do people carry bags for their dog poop, pick it up, then leave it on side of trail or next to where they parked their car? 020
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 10/01/2025And demonstrate that their wealth was more from birth or luck than it was business savvy or intelligence. We also learn that many of them are just awful immoral people. 020
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Two monitors is huge (and I mean two real ones, not those laggy LCD panels). But oddly, three is not nearly the bump that two was. I was watching a movie tonight where the tech genius for the evil guy had six large monitors in a 3x2 array. I wondered if I could even read the ones on the edges? 000
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 10/01/2025The morning after the election, I had to impose a pause on any political media (especially pro-Dem, anti-Trump kind). I had to collect myself, and focus on my family and grandchildren. I simply can't afford another four years of anger, and yes exhaustion. Basically, Trump is not worth my time. 000
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 10/01/2025I find that reading a book soothes me.. settles me. I can start reading a book and have it hit me in the face within 15 minutes. Definitely not doing productive things, because that energizes me (no bueno for sleep). 000
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 09/01/2025Sorry. Some of that could be DIY, but we never have enough time. For future reference, they make small water sensors that detect rising humidity or actual moisture/water and notify you via wifi. They also make a cutoff valve that shuts water off if it detects a slow leak. Very effective. 010
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 09/01/2025Old camero. No fond memories of that piece of junk. 000
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 09/01/2025First clue - more than 20 year age gap. Hello? He's sketchy as hell to be living with someone barely out of their teens. 030
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 09/01/2025How can a leak under your sink cost $3200? You can replumb most houses for only a little more than that. I'm not giving you shit.. just asking.. sounds like a leak in the foundation and they are suggesting you dig it up. Surely there must be a less invasive solution. 110
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 09/01/2025My wife and I discussed this... why does Trump (a citizen) have direct and unfettered access to the SCOTUS? Normies like us can submit cases to SCOTUS only after they have gone through all other courts, and then it might take years (even decades). DJT gets same day service? WTF 000
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 09/01/2025Strange morning. Some a**hat put my information into moving.com for a fictitious move to another state. This automatically notified a dozen or more moving providers to submit bids and contact me. I have received multiple email bids, and voice mail messages already. What's the point? 010
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 08/01/2025After the election, I purposefully distanced myself from my sources of news. Mostly it was because I drank the liberal koolaid and Harris lost bigly. I don't want to go through four more years of anger and opposition. It's not healthy. But it's hard to ignore the abject stupidity of him. 000
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 08/01/2025I got home and my wife asked if I had heard what Trump had said? No, I am ignoring him. But then I got the highlights of his presser... seriously, 'you guys voted for this turd'. 010
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 06/01/2025Running my regular 5.5 mile route this cool morning. To avoid boredom or focusing on my aching legs, I started looking at roadside trash. Single use bags, soda and beer cans, Big Gulp cups, lids, and straws, random clothing. There was a time when Americans took pride in the environment. 000
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 05/01/2025Glorious while it lasts but painful when it’s over. The is a golf course near my Moms place in North Carolina where we sled down the fairways. One of them is several hundred feet long.. a very long descent. Walking back up slope is brutal, but I can manage a handful of runs before I take a rest. 040
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 05/01/2025My house is 30 years old and it is pretty crappy. I think you have to go back 40 years to find some semblance of craftsmanship. I’m told ‘new’ homes today are significantly worse. I can’t imagine how that would be. 000
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 04/01/2025I have taught technical subjects but not in college. I’m in FL son the sunglasses are more functional. Thanks 110
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 02/01/2025lol I was thinking the same thing, but did not say it since my Tesla Model Y might also briefly serve as a fireworks display.. 000
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 02/01/2025I took a week off from running to help my daughter prepare her house for sale. Ran a six mile route this morning in 40F and it … was… terrible.. 010
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 01/01/2025I like to inspect the profiles of the people who follow me. Personally, I like to follow people who have original or funny shit to say. A lot of people have zero or one post, and that’s a pass (on follow back) from me. 000
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 01/01/2025Happy new years from the land of Ron DeSantis. Enjoying our fire pit with the staccato rattle and boom of fireworks. My cat doesn’t care, but I know a lot of dog owners who are less than thrilled about the ‘celebration’ 020
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 31/12/2024Sunrise over the Atlantic in 2017. The clouds looked like a mountain range. 010
mraymondus @mraymondus.bsky.social · 31/12/2024Ha ha I think that is a great plan. Sorta like catfishing but not exactly. Might be fun to blog about your stories and the responses. 000
