Queer middle-aged guy. I work on radars. Opinions are my own but I'm trying to make them everyone else's problem also.
In my spare time I fence and make music.

The engineer’s credo:
We chose to do this and the other things, not because they are easy, but because we thought they would be easy.

Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

every time I explain to my coworkers that a social media influencer from out of town has convinced the Trump administration that the Portland police are antifa, they look at me like I've sprouted a second head www.theverge.com/policy/81340...

It's always annoyed me that the Windows DirectX diagnosis tool is called dxdiag when dx is a common abbreviation for diagnosis, so it should clearly be called dxdx.

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution.
The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

You can’t script it. The Mariners are willed to victory by Humpy the fish finally winning his first race in the middle of the 15th inning. The crowd chants “Humpy Humpy” as the trident crosses off the ALDS win.
