My landlord sent me an email passive-aggressively reminding us to conserve power because their heat and water bills went up, so I sent one back more-aggressively-than-passively reminding them that the power for my unit has been in my name for 10 years and if I won't tolerate that sort of tone from my parents, she's got no chance.

I see once again that there is no technological solution to many of y'all's childish allergy to nuance.

Brain just fails to engage.

But the bunnies got their cage cleaned, and the trash made it to the curb.

I'm glad to have done that much.

The situation of their cage is making me sad so we're gonna rework that right away.

Sometimes I wonder if denial-of-service patents are a thing, like if there's a living to be made patenting the dumb shit techbros might do before they do it, thus preventing them from legally doing it without paying for the right (which you will of course then refuse to sell them).

I have no idea how to get from where I am to where I want to be, but for the first time in like 6 years at least the "where I want to be" is clear.

Oh, right! Grids.

I'm having the kind of day where I'm deliberately stalling on development requests as a kind of petty revenge for them taking six months to triage our defects into their workflows.

It's been like two months since server icons or profile pictures would load for me in discord, for example. CSRF fuckery.

People complain a lot about the poor performance of firefox by comparison to chrome, but I've never had Firefox choke and die on my work machine just being asked to reload ~18 tabs at boot time.

I think I might revive the idea of scheduled livestreams.

I have been trying to schedule my evenings to get more done in a spread out fashion but it turns out that without an external commitment I will invariably wind up on my couch.

I am very closed to finished on what has been my largest project in the game to date: a 32-gang coal plant.

I would really like to finish so that I can go build something more technically interesting and get back to pretending we are running this stripmine operation on good vibes.

I can't believe it but I am down to the last two of the Revision C boards ever made.

Don't fret though; if they sell out we'll restock in short order with the Revision D, which are fully compatable.

I should do more practical things, but a part of me wants to just boot up satisfactory.

Suddenly my wife's phone utters the phrase "Drink the water. Eat the bran. Take a mighty shit whenever possible"

This man has got my marrow.

I should make a little wearable "battery level" indicator.

I really need more folks to understand that the robot model//spoons model does not entitle someone to someone else's surplus charge/spoons/etc.

I get that you're fried and I am slightly less fried but I assure you I am still fuckin fried.

C'mon boss it's the friday before a long weekend and it's like 4:30. Send me home chief. I'm tits on a bull.
