Yeah. There’s always a chance that a customer could have an issue on a weekend and then I’ve gotta fix it. Once I was on 27 hours of conference calls over a weekend. But as I’ve gotten better at my job those sorts of things happen less and less.

Honestly the worst part of my job is doing my timesheets and updating weekly status, but when the weather’s good I do that from my hammock with a cold beer in hand which makes it suck less.

I’m salaried so I don’t have a lunch break. I work from home so I basically set my own hours as long as I can be contacted from about 10am to 3pm and go to any meetings I have scheduled.

When I need to do stupid tasks like timesheets and emails I unplug. The lack of screen space means I don’t get distracted.

When I need to do hard work I dock my system and use my dual 4Ks to maximize visual bandwidth.

I remember when iTunes was called SoundJam MP and that was much nicer than iTunes. I still miss its eclipse visualizer.

Which was when Slashdot was like BBS before the Eternal September

I’m less concerned with them being effective and more concerned they’ll fuck up and kick off Kessler Syndrome

Hopefully this works out better than the time they made iTunes for Windows

I don’t have any resources but my Volvo has a long, low hood and a heavily padded engine cover

I heard an interview with the creator of KSP1 and it made me even sadder about the death of this game. His next plan was basically Kerbal Aeronautics Program, where you’d build progressively bigger and faster airplanes to accomplish missions. I could see it growing into a game franchise, kind of like how SimCity had a bunch of similar simulator games with different premises.

Anyways, I’ve gotta go rescue Jeb again.

We can’t have pop-up headlights because of pedestrian safety, but you can buy a 5,000 pound vehicle that does 0-60 in three seconds and has a hood level with most people’s heads because that’s totally safe for pedestrians.

I’ve been to three local grocery chains and all of them have frozen turkey breast, but no turkeys.

I mean, it’s nearly June so I understand why, but I have a hankering for turkey and need to go to an actual butcher shop.

Turkeys

The USA is a modern house built on a foundation from the 18th century. It’s been cobbled together like the world’s biggest, most fucked up group project. I’ve seen enough Bob Vila to know that the only way to change even small things involves a full gut and rebuild.

You know what, being a dev myself that’s something I’ll try as a hobby project. We’ll see how it work out.

That’s what heroes do

The BLM protests happened 30 years after the Rodney King riots.

Thirty goddamn years and we haven’t moved an inch.

Nate Dogg would be proud

Peter Pan generation

I’m actually okay with that. Growing up is stupid. Bills and politics and heartburn and hemorrhoids and shit.

I guess I’m a patriot because I like to imagine that a country could be not existing. Nation-states were a bad idea.

I’m sure cheaper concert tickets will come as a comfort to those who are struggling to pay for lifesaving medication.

They can ration their medication even more and go see Taylor Swift before they die.

Yet again I’m asking the Fediverse: What do they think a good economy should look like?
