Hey new followers 👋🏻 let me offer an intro:

I'm a software dev, scratch golfer, occasional DIY/woodworker & I'm AuDHD.

While I'll post anything related to the above, most of my content is either coding or relatable, observational humor I use to cope with life.

Glad you're here & please be kind.

Right? I sit at different distances from these screens, I need different sizes.

I wish my editor could automatically detect if I'm using it on my second monitor or on my laptop screen, because I change the font size depending on which one it's on.

Fall is here and the rains have started. Frogs like it when it’s wet.

I don’t think I have to tell anyone here, but just in case, Portland is not a war zone.

It’s obvious, but in case you were curious, sanding anything above your head fucking sucks.

I always remember it as two groups of 3, which I find easier to remember than one group of 6. I wonder if others do the same. 🤔

It’s so simple in concept, yet so difficult to do well.

And every single piece of tape I did developed bubbles somehow after the fact. Fml.

There’s a scene where Stratt calls him a coward for not volunteering when the time comes.

The whole time I was reading it, I’m picturing a far more average looking, somewhat goofy person.

Seeing who was cast in certain roles has me wondering how the story will be changed for film.

Will be a difficult role to do

No person as good looking as him develops the level of cowardice needed for a key scene. Why? A person with his looks would have too many things go his way in his life, without him even trying, to be all that cowardly or risk averse. Pretty privilege is real.

Finished reading Project: Hail Mary today. Wanted to read it before I saw the movie.

Having done so, I can already tell you Ryan Gosling is the wrong person to play the main character.

No one with that much pretty privilege could possibly grow up to have the personality necessary for the role.

To no one’s surprise except my own, I was absolutely awful at mudding and taping the drywall in my very first attempt ever.

I need a drink. There’s too much fascism to deal with sober.

Nope, just supposed to wear 1 pair per day. Definitely sounded like a lot to me too.

I expected a number starting with a 3, not a 9.

What really grinds my gears is essentially I’m taxed thousands and thousands of dollars in my life time due to genetics I had no choice in having.

Eye doctor wants me to switch to daily contacts.

No problem, except it’s ~$1K for a 1-year supply and insurance won’t cover any of it for dailies.

That’s $3/day just for me to see.

I could pay it, but that’s absurd. I went with a different option insurance would cover.

If you were in tech and decent at posting between like 2010 and 2018 it opened a lot of doors.

There was a time where I could drive 13 hours from college to home in one day, but now 6.5hrs is more than enough for me.

Vancouver is a remarkably diverse and international city. I have heard at least 6 languages other than English spoken in my vicinity on this trip.

It was 12/10 easy. I’d eat it every day if I could.

Then this evening I did another walk on the waterfront
A view across the bay to North Vancouver and the mountains. A similar view across the bay and the north Vancouver mountains.
