The problem with timing my only 2 weeks of PTO at the end of the year, is the rain kills my chances for therapy on the motorcycles

Watched 3 movies this week: The Carpenter's Son, Sisu: Road to Revenge, and Corey Feldman vs. the World.
Honestly I was bored, and Nick Cage is a fun gamble. This was no Pig.
Sisu 2 was more old men beating the shit out of each other!
Corey: Good look at later stages of celebrity and character.

FMT2 facility is forever meme'd now.
Also that looks like between rows 1 and 2 in Suite/Hallway 1200.
Can't believe we retrofit that datacenter from an old Apple-II manufacturing facility, then random auction shipping site at the time back in 2005.

"You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down..."
"What desert?"
"It doesn't make any difference what desert, it's completely hypothetical... Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you want to be by yourself. Who knows? You look down and see a Tesla-"

The more I see the FLOCK unsecured stuff come out, the more I'm reminded of unsecured AXIS cameras in the wild, and my old cam-eater project to develop and test an in-house security DVR by pulling down hundreds of them in real-time and archiving.

Maybe its 30 years of touching connectors, but this seems odd:
"asked for the fiber TX/RX connectors be rotated; The connector is clipped in. I risk breaking this connector if I do it"
Your fingers? A flat screwdriver? You remove the plastic clip... Even twisting LC either direction opens it up.

Watching a Twitch streamer struggle to get their camera working at the same time as Zoom to interview a candidate, is why we tell customers to ALWAYS PROVIDE A DIAL-IN

Gonna be honest, I'm surprised to hear they licensed Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint as an upcoming anime. Figured we'd be delving into sillier titles like Greatest Estate Developer.

Diet of white rice, bag salad and 2 roast thighs has been going pretty well for daily meal, but it does get monotonous. But dropped some fat, so that's a goal.
