"we didn't start the fire" is literally a song about boomers refusing to take responsibility for the state of the world
Working remote or remotely working, amirite?
Perfectly sunny day yesterday. Got 65 kWh out of the solar array. Previous days, not so much.
258 EB in the last 24 hours? That's almost 24 million Gbps! I mean, my fiber is fast but...
@agw started saying "s" sounds at the ends of words today. He can count to at least 13 and recognizes most of the alphabet with difficulty deciphering "E", "W", and 'X". Though he does scream and cry for hours on end, especially after naps.
But he's only 21 months old so I'll cut him some slack.

Making yogurt is like using a git repo. Each new item is based on the last and there's always some kind of evolution going on.
@agw is in hour four of his afternoon nap....
I just spent way too long troubleshooting an HDMI connection only to finally notice that the cable was directional. Sheesh.
I had to manually encode the recipient delimiter "+" to "%2B" in a password reset email link because my hunch was the server didn't know how to parse it correctly. I was right. Sigh.
The president needs to answer for treason.
Commit a crime in the service of the president? No problem! He'll pardon you on his way out. Worried about being convicted in the future? He's got you covered. Make sure to stay on his good side and you'll be in the good ol' corrupt boys club forever.
This administration shows its true holiday spirit by rushing to execute prisoners before the new administration comes in.
Very funny. Intel's PCI ID is 0x8086.

People who pull down their mask in public to cough... you do know why you're wearing it right? 🙄
It sucks when someone types their password into chat in an all-hands staff meeting with 160+ people in it.
There's no redact/delete function in Zoom chat.
Great. Now that that's over, can we please stop electing old white men? He will be the oldest *by far*. If he gets a 2nd term, he will leave office at the age of 86!
