I beg to differ: canned peaches, in fact, exist *specifically* to substitute for fresh cut peaches. That is really the only reason they exist as a concept.

I'm about to roll out a significant release on a rush because of medical reasons (not mine). It is easy to fall into bullet points. It's worth keeping in mind that technical constraints are not the only things that drive development of software--or anything else made by humans.

Why can I not find a release schedule anywhere for Kubuntu 25.04?

Reacher Season 3 justified its existence by reminding/introducing people to the fact that Ethel Merman released a disco album.

No one expects the for loop that says 'ni'!

Zero days since I startled myself awake to tell Sarah something. And it has been nearly two years since I've slept in our bed. #widowerlife

Watching police cam videos has improved my ability to run combat encounters and violent scenes in tabletop RPGs and parlor LARPs. Things are either way slower or way faster than "initiative/turn order" would imply, and I now add jarring pauses and unexpected explosive force.

If you are getting good code out of an AI, you are either lucky, or your ability to recognize good code needs more years of experience and effort. Count me among the many people who are paying for high end models and find they do not save time for actual longform code generation.

Age does not grant wisdom. But it does increase the surface area for the opportunity for wisdom. So do other, often more miserable events in your life. May you get your wisdom via age.

The most bitter words are, "There's nothing I can do. There's nothing anybody can do." When you would literally sacrifice everything you are--everything you would or could be in the future--you receive a wound that grants perspective for too terrible a cost.

A local gamer broke both legs and I have a bad flu (I jokingly say I caught from a friend who is an epidemiologist for the Department of Health, but the timing is off). As I host three game nights a week in my house, the cancelling has caused waves... and spawned this in the Nashville Gamer Chat:

Not even a `p build &&` there. That's what happens when you're updating production while you have a terrible flu. (Okay, it's also a personal site I can have down for awhile, and I just changed around some config stuff, but don't do this otherwise).

Death is likely a concept held only by the living.

I wrote a small c program to calculate the nuke's damage in @run-dmg.bsky.social 's skit. gist.github.com/EvanEdwards/...

I seem to be in the "foodie" corner of this BS, so: boneless, skinless chicken thigh on five seed one carb toast with chipotle salsa, a slice of cheese, and smoked brisket seasoning. Yolks, melted cheese, and salsa make it sloppy. Broccoli and radish with salt, pepper, and a touch of curry.

Day 618, and also zero days since I last called out, "Hey Honey?" to tell her something. #LaVidaWidower

I travel by polyhedron.

There are only two options, and I suppose winding up living with dead people is generally seen as the better of the two.

Just spent some time broken down. I made my last turkey sandwich before going back on diet. I realized what was missing, went and pulled a hair from Sarah's brush and put it in the sandwich. There. Now it is perfect... if only she was here, smiling and proud of her wifesandwich.
