Crazy day for us. My youngest had to go to the ER because my older tipped the shopping cart (both kids are fine) and when we get home the power was out. I cooked some food on the grill in storm and we called it a day.

Power is still out this morning.

November is a premier month for bomb cyclones in the Pacific Ocean, and this week will be no different.

But what exactly is a bomb cyclone?
A bomb cyclone is driving an atmospheric river to California. Here's what that means
A rapidly intensifying low-pressure system off the Washington coast is predicted to reach “bomb cyclone” criteria Tuesday and bring rain and snow to California.

I have similar thoughts when something says "Family Size".

"Yeah, I've got a family" says the man who knows he will be the only one consuming the bag of potato chips.
the bag says sʜᴀʀᴇ sɪᴢᴇ

but my heart says sɪɴɢʟᴇ sᴇʀᴠɪɴɢ

I mix a lot of these with other juices, to make less sweet, very refreshing non-alcoholic drinks. idk why but my wife and I call them "dreamy drinks"
very hot tip: if you see this shit in the store buy it. it’s peak refreshment. mixes perfectly with gin if you’re into that kind of thing. i get it at aldi but imagine it’s elsewhere

this isnt a sponsored post but it was made out of personal self interest, because if they stop making it i will kms

Drones are the scariest thing about future warfare imo
North Korea is testing exploding drones designed to crash into targets and Kim Jong Un has called for accelerating mass production of the weapons.

North Korean state media didn’t mention South Korea, which the drones are apparently designed to target.

I want to create an incubator that funds atproto/bluesky experimental projects to the tune of $5k-$10k dev grants.

I am sorely tempted to call it “Chemtrails”, because it seeds the ATmosphere

Hit me with your best ideas!

Also sharing what is probably my favorite blog post of all time today (authored by @apenwarr.bsky.social) because it's something I constantly find myself referring back to and is a great read for anyone who builds systems for a living.
