Classic PNW weather

Photo from the perspective of a person sitting on a rock ledge with their feet hanging over the edge. The rock ledge is visible at the bottom of frame, sparsely covered with lichen and moss. The person is wearing long, gray pants and leather boots with orange and black laces. The rest of the frame is simply gray due to fog.

Managed to fuck up my VPS networking with a wireguard config change so bad that I had to boot it using a recovery ISO to undo it.

I like how the Seattle area, an area known for rain, can not handle a little rain without drive times more than doubling.

[mh~, employment] One of my teammates had his last day on Friday. On his way out, he was describing his perception of how working here has been impacting his life outside work. General dejection, feeling incapable of making any life decisions, etc. He described his need to step away from work […]

Turns out, air changeover in bedrooms is important.

CBP website has incorrect information. If you have NEXUS, you can only go to a NEXUS enrollment center. There are very few NEXUS enrollment centers, in comparison with “any CBP Trusted Traveler enrollment center”, and they are basically only on the US-Canada border.

Screenshot from cbp.gov that reads:

If I am already a member of a CBP trusted traveler program, do I still have to visit an enrollment center to complete my U.S. APEC Business Travel Card application?

Yes, once CBP determines you are eligible to participate in the APEC program you must provide an electronic signature that will be printed on the APEC Business Travel Card. You can complete the interview/signature collection process via Enrollment on Arrival when returning to the U.S. from an international flight or at any CBP Trusted Traveler enrollment center, no appointment necessary.

TIL: ibuprofen is a mix of active and inactive isomers. The active isomer is dexibuprofen which is not approved by the FDA… supposedly just because the industry has deemed the hassle of approval not worth the benefit over ibuprofen.

A box of dexibuprofen. Most of the text on the box is in Chinese. A diagram of a man touching the back of his neck, supposedly in pain, is on the box.

The box reads:
