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.

I finished scanning 4,282 photos of trains and busses from Chicago & near burbs from the 50s thru 2000s with some super great early 1900s shots. About 400 to go. I'm not sure how or where I'll publish them all after adding metadata, but I know some Chicago rail/bus fans are going to enjoy 'em.

thing is, every single photo of your delightful cooking offsets at least two shit AI food posters, so you're doing us all a net benefit. cook on, chef.

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

What’s the Weiss angle on this? Eliminate competition in the pardon broker industry? Influence the price of pardons? You know it isn’t to expose corruption.

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.

Dude you're pretty cool and all but how many times are you going to pass off AI slop to your followers like this? Are you just gullible as hell or do you not care that most* people don't want more AI gen slop in their lives? (*this being bluesky, I'm pretty, pretty confident in this metric)

There should be an adult mode for discord. When companies start using it for community building I just shake my head in GenX and move on.

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.)

Ah yes, I see the 'ban cars' folk are out in force shaming parents driving their kids to school on their first day back. I love my cycling brethren, but this is not the way to get people on your side.

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.

Alongside the "Don't show me politics" button LinkedIn has had for awhile, "Looks like Slop" will also function like the close door button in an elevator.
