Vintage Roadtrek interiors were apparently a rather vibrant shade of blue, similar to bluejeans. I don’t know how long it takes (for context, mine is from 2000), but they have all changed to a very uniform teal. I’ve actually been in a number of other 90s / early […] [Original post on m29.us]

It's okay, you can spoil it for me. Do the Mandalorian and Baby Yoda get married by the end of the movie?

"The time machine is ready. You may use it to cause the most good you can think of in the world." "Oh, that's easy. I'll go back and-" "Anything except that. Paradoxically, it's almost guaranteed to cause your own nonexistence." "Oh, okay. Then I'll go back to 1990, break into Nintendo […]

16 year old River hasn’t been well, and was in the hospital for three days this week. Here she is back home, trying to look nonchalant about having a shaved turkey leg. #Caturday #Cats

w/r/t https://xkcd.com/781/ I was just watching a trucking dashcam video in Ireland, and a lane had: ⬆ 30 LIMIT HGV & BUS ONLY TO M50 And I legitimately couldn't see the beginning of it. There's a reason why North American lane text is "backwards". It starts at the bottom because that's where […]

I just found a 3d-printed design of mine (CC-BY-SA) being sold on Amazon. I assume it would be futile trying to do anything about it...

Here is a high resolution picture of my house key. Story time! When I bought this house in 2022, I replaced all the entry locks with Kwikset SmartKey locks, the physical self-rekey system, so all could be keyed alike. In 2023, I installed a screen door in front of […] [Original post on m29.us]

pre-commit is your quintessential "do one thing and do it well" project. Add modules which trigger when certain files are staged to lint those files as a git pre-commit hook. Simple. You can probably guess what the next paragraph is. The pre-commit GHA action has been deprecated and will no […]

If you're just done with the day, can adults just... go to bed, if it's before midnight? And on a Friday night, even?

In my previous job, a group responsible for doing a round of AWS cost optimizations sent me a questionnaire for the service I owned, and one question was how many downstream users / services within the company are reliant on my service. I replied with this clip from Terminator 2: "How many?" […]

Ever since the United Kingdom left the European Union, it no longer needs to receive permission from faceless bureaucrats in Brussels to replace its prime minister. This has led to rapid iteration and true innovation in the prime minister segment.

Huh, Home Depot is now showing MERV in its air filter listings, next to its made-up proprietary rating. I'm curious to see if the actual packaging has this as well.

RE: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@NullTheFool/116718806533361306 Oh. Only took me a few decades to realize why the Python docs often have Monty Python references. I am not smart.

This evening is an "unfocused anxiety" evening, which itself can be worse than an anxiety attack brought on by something specific.

People who love YAML often have problems with boundaries and consent. They simply don't know the difference between Yes and Norway.

I swear, I had never heard "trespass" be used as a verb for legally banning someone until maybe a year or so ago, but now I see it often. Like, you can trespass on someone else's property, and if you're caught you can be arrested for trespassing, but "the owner can trespass you" just doesn't […]

RE: https://m29.us/@jucika/116947727266565394 When I went dishwasher shopping a few years ago, I actually took my commonly-used pots and pans to Home Depot to see how they would fit in the floor models.
