As much as I hate the colder weather (mostly due to the frequently extremely awful extra pain), there is one thing I always appreciate:

Soup weather. I can comfortably enjoy good soup. Even just a can of mid-range soup tossed in the microwave is a win for me. It's cheap, easy, and tasty.

Whatever ad agency is handling the targeting parameters for Breckenridge ski tourism needs to really rethink the strategy, because there can't be THAT MUCH overlap between me - a disabled person who hates cold, travel, and most sports - and folks who go skiing.

I hate how my favorite game - that's also become a favorite way to help me maintain reflexes and dexterity with my CMT - is made by a shitbag of a company. I _want_ to pick up new maps, but I also don't want to give Eagle Dynamics my money.

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️

Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you.

Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

As much as I hate working with Docker, I think it's finally time I containerize all my LAMP stack dev work. It'll make life a little easier for me should I opt to switch distros again, and eliminate the hassle of running multiple PHP versions on local.

Also, that dump truck was as mobile as a ballerina.

WFL - Foxtrot Delta Tango (He/They) @painpropaganda.com · 1d

Gotta love those mornings when you wake up feeling like you went ten rounds with a dump truck filled with sharp, heavy rocks.

Been trying to get up for 30 min now.

I'll probably do a write-up later on about it, and possibly open-source the code for those of you who want to fuck with it and see how I did what I did.

A Beautifully Discordant Metronome project is officially "done"; I'm no longer collecting data.

The DB was 1.5mb of my pulse captured every 10 minutes, plus the date.

My average pulse was 95.

You can now either see it rendering that average, or get a random entry. classicwfl.com/projects/met...

Today's coding is fueled by Royal Blood; Just discovered them.. It's like if someone crossed hill-country musical structure (with Burnside timing) and alt-rock styling. Good shit.

A 141 page mostly-text PDF should _not_ be nearly 230MB in size.

So, the FBI recently did a presentation locally on this topic.. I wasn't able to go, but apparently it wasn't some anti-antifa propaganda thing. This PDF was cited, but.. Nice job FBI, it's 141 pages and EACH PAGE IS JUST AN IMAGE.

Great job on the accessibility, ass. www.fbi.gov/file-reposit...

Ok, finally doing a range trip today.

It's possibly going to be raining, and it'll be moderately windy, but damnit I want to get at least one more outdoor range trip in this year.

“Now I have to act shocked and outraged, call this a wakeup call so more straight people give a shit. What I am is numb. Another one. Another reminder that Queer culture was built on concussions”
—Leo Herrera on Nex Benedict

Image is a tile from Instagram with @herreraimages at the footer. The top of the image is 16-year-old Nex Benedict, curly hair, sweet smile. The tile is yellow with a serif font and reads: “I keep thinking of Nex Benedict stumbling out of that bathroom. Every Queer knows why the school didn’t call an ambulance or the cops. How fast would the cavalry be if the blonde homecoming queen got jumped 3 to 1? We can trace this to anti-trans laws, and the damaged bitch over at Libs of TikTok. But these deaths are so much older. Our school system has rarely been safe for Queers. I was nex’s age when my bully outed me in front of the entire class. “He’s a faggot and we all know it.” My teacher Just stood there in shock like it was my fault. Now I have to act shocked and outraged, call this a wake up so more straight people give a shit. What I am is numb. Another one. Another reminder that queer culture was built on concussions”

I get so used to the insane shit Trump says that I forget I should be putting them into the DJTSays quote machine. Well, I added this one today at least: djtsays.com/index.php?qu...

Trump Says: We're going to kill them!

I think we're just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country, OK? We're going to kill them, you know? They're going to be, like, dead, OK?

Ok, started writing today's blog post about how old devs will be more relevant when the AI bubble bursts, and I came up with a name for those of us who will (hopefully) survive:

The AI Survivalist Society.. or..

THE A.S.S.!

Obligatory artsy EDC & new cane pic.

Gonna add some bat grip tape to the handle of the new cane; it's a little slicker and thinner than I'd like, but easily fixed.

A 5.11 tactical bag and a cane leaning against a wall/bench. The cane features a colorful oil-slick appearance on the shft, and a black handle. The 5.11 tactical bag is black and features 2 patches on it: One with an opossum that reads "Pure of heart, dumb of ass", and another that has the US made out of bananas. Additionally, it has LGBTQ+ and bi pride pins, and a backup folding cane poking out of the side.

The problem with relying on rideshare/cab services in any place not a medium-sized city or above is that - if you're like me and enjoy routines - you're sometimes fucked.

Sitting here trying to call a Lyft so I can go have my damned Sat. AM breakfast & coffee shop routine, but nobody's on.

.. ok, now I feel it a bit, because I just banged the hand and finger (of course it's my most used one, the middle finger) into the doorway.
