Nothing tops off a crummy day better than blowing out a condensate line clog, turning the blower on before sealing the gap, and standing over the pipe. I smell delightful now.

RE: mastodon.world/@paninid/11734622655… I sometimes wonder how different life would be. Not necessarily better, just…different.

A dear friend gave me a full case of hot mustard sauce for my birthday many years ago. It lasted for months. I both regret and appreciate the experience.

AI doomer posts are not all wrong, but they're missing the point. AI won't create Skynet. AI will empower otherwise average-to-low skilled people, often white men, to take undue risk and do dumb shit that *will* hurt people.

I enjoy watching the cool new gadgetry Apple is releasing, but I would still just like AirPods that don't fall out. I don't think my ears are THAT weird.

If you're going to point me at a document and ask me to solve your problem, at least trim the Claude prompt you used from the top. Removing the entirely-too-obvious Claudisms would probably lull me into believing it wasn't just slop, at least momentarily.

As seen at MSI's Steelmaking exhibit, and as relevant to contemporary computer operation as it was in 1960s steelworking.

It has been `0` days since someone has dumped Claude output into an issue and yeeted it toward me for action. (If I wanted to talk to machines I'd go yell at my microwave. I'd rather a rudely written human issue than this shit.)

Enjoying the Chicago storm discourse here. Lots of basement/hallway/shelter seekers and such. Growing up in the 80s, a tornado watch or warning was my Dad's cue to open the garage door and set up a lawn chair to watch the storm and wave to neighbors doing same.

I reported a Chicago cop recklessly driving his cruiser. With multi-angle time stamped video. Clearly visible plate, locations, the works. Years later, the case was closed: they “lacked info on who was driving” Same excuse when an off duty flashed his gun bc he was mad at me. Cops are great.

Based on my personal experience it’s quite telling when your opponent’s instigator “leaves” post-discovery and pre-settlement. Optimistic for those unjustly fired. Good on them.

That feeling when you know you’re typing back and forth with someone copy-pasting Claude output…is sadness, mostly. Nobody talks like this! I want your authentic self, errors and shorthand and regional slang and all! Stop it! (“Load bearing” mercifully not used, but might as well have been)

Do you know anyone at spinwheel.ai? They’re being used by loan scammers to steal identities. I’m having trouble getting anyone there to care. Would love to be connected to a human there.

Losing power for 14ish hours sucks on the fridge-clearing side, but having a clear dark sky to wonder at and no cell/internet to distract made up for it. I've never seen the sky like that before. True awe.

Really feeling it for the neighborhood soccer bar that opened a couple of weeks ago. It was never a good biker bar, and now there’s families in matching colors streaming in and out instead of health code violations and angry drunk drivers.

This country will never have good infrastructure so long as it takes 8 workers nearly 17 hours to take a handful of letters off a building that three dudes and a cherry picker put up between lunch and dinner. Christ, we’re so cooked.

Chicago is great because you can adopt this city as a transplant and nobody cares where you came from so long as you don’t become a weird gatekeeper. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My favorite Chicago fun fact is that the soccer fields at Lawrence and Simonds have a water crib essentially buried underneath them. The crib was abandoned and surrounded by landfill as the lakefront was expanded eastward.

Perfect vanity plate and frame combo, no question. (s/o to @sorenspicknall.bsky.social who has the total package — this was on a regular Jeep.)
