Meanwhile, Eastbound I-90 at Exit 27 remains closed due to a mudslide across the freeway. If your travel plans involved this part of I-90, I suggest making new ones.

Be safe out there everyone. Travel if you must, stay home if you can.

Mt. Si Market, the Chevron station at the end of 202 at the Exit 31 I-90 junction where I work, closed as of 4pm tonight so that evening crew will not have to contend with road conditions overnight. Fueling pumps remain available with Debit/Credit transaction at the pump.

I screwed up and missed my booster. As I understand it, that means I gotta start over 😓

1st time wasn't fun, but I needed this reminder.

Wow . . . Gary Oldman's scene with the aeroplane . . .

Thank you, Tom.

Outside Tour: David Bowie w/ Nine Inch Nails - Tacoma October 1995*
Rhythm Nation Tour - Tacoma June 1990

*I fell asleep at this show from staying up too long the night before. Was asleep the moment my butt hit the seat and missed most of NIN. Woke up the second Bowie hit the stage.

Well, 3rd playthrough is now completed.

I maxed out my Dispatcher ability and unlocked the final decision point. I will say I was surprised by the result, which ultimately convinces me that Dispatch will have a Season 2, if it makes its budget for one.

Something tells me it will.

I should slow down and proofread before hitting post. And also, it keeps people honest about the subject matter they post.

But, dammit, I love me an edit feature.

I get it. That's really on me. And maybe the compute needed to run post-version control and data table injection isn't worth the trade-off in feature robustness.

A close approximation, certainly ; Eddie’s replies were consistently more accurate and clearly more sincere.

As I await the A.I. bubble to burst (directly unrelated, I know), I can't help but wonder if Bot propagation is nearing critical mass, to the point where the swarm is stinging itself.

Once again, the humans are collateral damage in the A.I. wars . . .

Possibly related, as I scan my feeds, I see X and Open AI suffered outages within the last 24 hours, which each have Cloudflare connected assets.

I noticed the new implementation of the Cloudflare Anti-bot verification layer when I revisited the site.

Even after getting all my votes in, I still got a 404 at the end instead of being returned to home.
