@techconnectify.bsky.social FYI, I may have convinced my boomer, technology adverse FIL to replace his electric water heater with a heat pump unit. Between the federal and electric company, rebates and it, including an extended warranty, it came out cheaper than the equivalent traditional unit.

Based on previous occurrences, as well as the reported extensive training on redaction, I can’t help but wonder if the reported leaks that are occurring in the Epstein files are a malicious compliance protest from the FBI agents paid overtime to do it. @muellershewrote.com

A person can do a terrible thing but that doesn’t make them a terrible person. It’s how they act when held to account that defines ones’ character.

Ugggggghhhh! I’m getting so close to dropping Makita for Milwaukee. Mi tools have such a variety from high->low power (and cost) than compared with Ma. Small and super handy 12v drill/driver for stuff like furniture assembly? Several options. Ma? 🦗🦗🦗(They killed that line years ago)

Me to my CS interested son: the most important but least flashy thing in CS is version control.
You won’t appreciate it until you NEED to go back in time and figure out why your code is fucked.
I wish I learned it in CS101 class instead of years later.
A missing ; ruined so much sleep.

Son: Dad, I want to preview IOS 18. I’m gonna sign up for a Beta account.
Me: Don’t. It’s for app developers and they’re for prototyping. It’ll be buggy and not good. It isn’t ready for general use.
S: <does it anyway>

Dear @techconnectify.bsky.social, or “Alec” if you please.
Consider doing an episode on the “Scantron” system. I just pulled the terror of standardized testing out of a memory hole, and remembered how crazy they were as a kid in the 80s and 90s.
Number 2 pencils only kids!!

So a politician is convicted of a serious crime, and then can't run for the presidency. Weird idea, but worth a try.

K1: cool

K1: That does not MATCH my sense of humor

In the grand scheme of things, I’m not THAT worried about what damage Musk can do at Treasury with his glorified interns. When I worked at a previous gig, we worked at the USDA National Finance Center. THEY wrote most of the checks to Americans.

I’m replaying (restarting because I never finished it) Half Life:Alyx. On chapter 3. Watched a video for the “Jeff” level coming up and the player OPENED THE YELLOW CRATES!
THEY OPEN?!!
I’ve been playing on normal and having ammo and resin problems. I must have walked past hundreds of rounds!
