We all need to band together and create a line of appliances that have real buttons, just work, and no IoT crap (or if it has any networking for things like status or remote control, it's local first, and not required for any functionality).

The president got his feelings hurt, so we're doing 10% more tariffs on Canada. Joke of an administration.

Canada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reagan’s Speech on Tariffs. The Reagan Foundation said that they, “created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address,” and “did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter.” The sole purpose of this FRAUD was Canada’s hope that the United States Supreme Court will come to their “rescue” on Tariffs that they have used for years to hurt the United States. Now the United States is able to defend itself against high and overbearing Canadian Tariffs (and those from the rest of the World as well!). Ronald Reagan LOVED Tariffs for purposes of National Security and the Economy, but Canada said he didn’t! Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD. Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

No stats on the scores I’m afraid. Like most stuff I build these days, there’s no tracking of any kind on it. It’s a static site (in this case just a single index.html), and only reaches out to its own domain. The share text could be search and results compiled if you really wanted to though :)

I made the mistake of looking at the comments on the latest video. There's something about people fixated on edge cases and refusing to look holistically at their situation in order to assess their actual needs which frankly hurts my soul.

It's time for another electric vehicle charging video. Too many people believe EV charging solutions require expensive, huge electric circuits (or worse: service upgrades). The really high-power ones people tend to go with can be a headache, but there are many other options! youtu.be/W96a8svXo14

Early morning start customising my Unit Testing 1-day training workshop into Ruby for a client. I *could* use GPT to translate, but doing that would rob me of this opportunity to get back into a Ruby frame of mind (it's been a while). If learning's the goal, write the code yourself.

A screenshot of an X post by Jon Cryer (@mrjoncryer

...) conducted by Pollara on Feb 23, 2025, with 1,506 online respondents. The poll shows support for: removing U.S. alcohol from stores (77%), retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products (75%), punishing Elon Musk by tariffing his companies/cancelling his contracts (74%), and cancelling contracts with American companies (65%).

This is the closest photo of Saturn ever taken. 🔭 🧪

This is the closest image of Saturn ever captured by the Cassini spacecraft. It shows the planet in a majestic and serene light, with its rings in the foreground. The planet's golden hues are highlighted by the sunlight filtering through its upper atmosphere. A notable feature is the intriguing hexagonal storm at the north pole, a unique weather phenomenon in our solar system. The image provides an unparalleled, close-up perspective, inviting viewers to appreciate the intricate details of Saturn's cloud bands and the sheer vastness of its ring system. It is a stunning portrayal of the beauty and complexity of this gas giant, captured from a vantage point closer than any human-made probe has ventured before.
