Terriforming Mars is a pretty great #boardgame and the app is solid as well.

Holidays is a good time to ween myself off social media. More time IRL and projects.

The worst part of getting an #EV is sharing your new experiences on social media and running into the overwhelmingly negative and toxic community of EV-dudes. Like tying to enjoy food around a vegan, or a drink around sobriety junkies. I own an EV but I'll never consider myself part of that group.

I don't actually read many news articles and live in headlines due to paywals. News needs to embrace micro transactions so I can pay to read an article with my phone wally for $0.25 each. No account required.

my new toxic trait is using AI to reformat personal emails when I don't like you.

My #ev has a mode I'm calling "golfcart mode" that breaks when you let off the gas. it's kinda goofy, and herky-jerky at first, but i think it might be the new normal in a few years.

Charged my #EV for the first time today. Took me a while to figure out how to unlock the plug. pretty funny!

The shit I say at work sometines that are so absurd I don't get a reaction: "We'll leverage the strength of the dyad to enhance our reminder channels."

Shutting Down CodeChops Eugene LLC today after 13(ish) years as a coworking space. It's being replaced with CodeChops ORG with a focus on training in 2025.

Free business idea: LinkTree but for your dating profile called KinkTree. Your welcome.

I was searching YouTube for #3dprinting videos last night for diagnosing filiment feeder issues. Noticed an odd trend of folks posting thier frustration as shorts without a fix. I prefer the long form where you learn something.

Only plan half your day. Your day will fill in the rest.

Demoing our first AI Chatbot tomorrow that can hold a conversation based on videos we published concerning Chemo induced Peripheral Neuropathy. It will also provide direct links to video segments where they can review the details.

Based on how Louisiana reacted to covid, I have zero confidence that they are going to contain bird flu. Buckle up buttercup.

Autism rates increasing? Or defining it as a spectrum, and looking for it in common screenings? I would have likely been diagnosed as a kid under modern guidelines.

I was able to disassemble, fix and reassemble the hot-end assembly on my X1C. Although it's 'easy' by #3dprinting standards, I felt really empowered to do that level of detailed work with little parts (and thermal paste?) and it felt like things could have gone wrong. But they didn't. Yay!

Turned on ChatGPT+ when Sora was announced, played with Sora for a few days. hot garbage. Turned Off ChatGTP+

The sales technique of sending you a letter in a package envelope, and then calling a week later to "verify I got thier package" is so slimy and expensive. "hey, I hacked your mail distribution to get your attention! Let's do business!" Sorry, no.

Some fun holiday exclamations and when to use them:
