Working on running Ethernet through the crawl space and remembering what a pain it is 😅 Finally got the data end fished up to where it needs to be. Then keystone, drilling and fish the other end, another keystone 😆

DIY project day: find tools, scour the crawl space portion, go to hardware store, spend too much money, drive home, do part of the project while waiting for new drill battery to charge for another part (and watching the Giro)

Made the choice to drive to a closer trailhead for a road ride, so I was able to enjoy climbing with probably 20 less miles… and it was rather nice. Since there is about 4-5 ways to start a ride from my house, those get old fast 😆

Glad I was able to get in a walk between rounds of rain tonight. Was pleasant, albeit grey out.

Just watched Man on Fire (2004) and the thing that stood to me is both Ridley and Tony Scott had Lisa Gerrard on soundtracks in about 4 years of one another 😆

I still love the idea they keep trying to sell that once a factory exists here, there won’t be any tariffs … like the raw materials all exist magically

This comment period ends today, 5/23, at 11:59 pm ET. Please do comment asap if you believe the government should allow us to get COVID vaccinations. I can't believe we even have to petition them about this, but here we are.

Has Polis signed anything lately? Seems like he’s on a tear of rejecting bills. Articles state that he is at 7 this year with 10 as his record in 2023

Im a little unclear who all was talking in a segment on immigration (one was Ross something, a NYT columnist) but whoever was talking was at lunch in the face levels of wrong about the topic and I wish them a car that never starts.

It’s not surprising, but the media doing PR for EM is disgusting. He doesn’t change, his team spins new stories.

Also completed the both-seasons-of-Andor-and-then-Rogue-One path and that is certainly well done. I only caught one thing that was really odd with the story done this way, which is honestly amazing to pull off

So far the most damaging thing to come from time off work has been one block of lying down, disassociating, followed by an actual nap. Not sure how I will survive without it

Was just catching up with recruiter emails and noticed one that sounded good until: "We're leveraging LLMs and AI technology in all parts of our application". It's apparently insurance underwriting software. So, that's gonna go well.

Spent last week in Moab, mostly to mountain bike, but did get an afternoon to drive around Arches. Every time I’ve been has been fun and magical. This time was pronounced by afternoon storms.

Not saying what Biden is or is not dealing with, but anybody celebrating some “gotcha” moment: I hope you never have family members with dementia or other medical conditions. You absolutely would not be able to handle it.

After every John Oliver episode, (HBO Go|HBO Now|HBO|HBO Max|Max|HBO Max) is really like “do you want to the BM show” and it’s really a no, friend. Never.
