The Bluetooth visualization caught my eye, but I’m here for the Alexa integration.

My most amusing automation is telling my teens to goto bed, at midnight on weekends, maybe I can spice it up a bit

• looks around * …… now

The can. Because it’s the smallest serving size and I’m otherwise poor at moderation

Although opening it like that looks dangerous.

Wait til you read that second-last sentence about taking it off at seminary

Sort of like hot dogs. I’ll eat them, but try not to know, how they’re made

Imitation crab tastes great, and isn’t really all that similar to crab. It’s a fish product good enough to stand up for itself, does not need to hide

Just yesterday, my teen was asking about all the bollards on bicycle and paved walk entrances. People suck, or are idiots all too often

For those of us plugging in at home, ads can never happen.

First M3 I see on auto trader is $73k. That’s where I get off the bus

edit: Ooooohh, “Z3”. That’s very different

It is a society thing. There were many ways I never got along with my ex mother in law …… but one of them was that if I forgot my soap or shampoo and used my wife’s she made a big deal of it. I mean I would thank her for (passive aggressively) complimenting my scent but that’s annoying.

It’s just soap and shampoo. I generally prefer unscented and strongly prefer something that doesn’t trigger my psoriasis but the bottom line is getting clean

Can older ones be had in reasonable condition for reasonable price? I never looked into those on the assumption they cost more and are not very common.

While I liked mg’s when I was younger, more recently I was a fan of Miata’s.

I came really close to doing that as a younger adult. At one point it was almost a club, so many co-workers had an older mg. Unfortunately they are no longer as plentiful or cheap.

Now I’m tempted from time to time but would never spend the time to care for it myself, which is one of the reasons to get an older vehicle.

At the moment I have the practical needs that both my kids are driving but sharing one car and can’t yet afford their own. This is the first summer that coordination will be a challenge. I took a Quick Look into long term rentals and short term leases and they’re just too expensive. I don’t want to buy them a car that will just sit and rot for 10 months they’re in college. I am so tempted to get myself another fun car. Maybe a project or classic. For the summer I’d have one more vehicle to share for the family. If there was an issue with my main car, I’d have an option. And if it’s a fun car for me I don’t mind having it the ten months of the year they’re in school

That Slate is so promising, but obviously more expensive than an older used car. I’d be tempted to get the open air configuration despite living in the northeast where it’s not practical most of the year

True, true, this is me too. I’ve got to admit to having to hold myself back from a full on outdoor kitchen. But I have a nice grill and a huge smoker, and I’ll be here every weekend wondering how to find people who want to share 15# of pulled pork or something.

I’ve actually gone overboard with cooking in general. Replaced teflon with cast iron and stainless steel, and a griddle top , and learned how to cook so many different foods from so many cuisines.

What about the stereotype of buying a flashy car? Arguably that’s the one I fell into: spending far more on a car than I ever have to get something flashy and different, and purely thinking of me for what felt like the first time in my life.

I’m actually planning to do an evaluation of a n ai code review tool to see what it can do. I’m actually somewhat optimistic that it could do this better than it can code

I really want to sic it on this one junior programmer who doesn’t understand that you can’t just commit ai generated slop and expect it to work. This last code review after over 60 pieces of feedback I gave up on the rest and left it as he needs to understand when ai generated slop needs help

Ai is usually pretty good at unit tests but it was so bad. Randomly started using a different mocking framework, it actually mocked entire classes and somehow thought that was valid to test them. Wasting tests on non-existent constructors no negative tests, tests without verifying anything. Most of all there were so many compile errors, yet he thought that was fine

My company only allows downloads from official sources, verified publishers, signed where we can. This is enforced by only allowing the repo server to download stuff and only from places we’ve configured. In general those go through a process to reduce the chances of problems and mitigate them quickly.

We also feed everything through a scanner to flag known vulnerabilities, unacceptable licenses

If it’s fully packaged installable software, we have security guys that take a look at I have no idea what they do and whether it’s an audit

I’m actually going round in circles with this one developer. He needs an open source package and we already cache it on the repo server in several form factors, from reputable sources …… but he wants to run a random GitHub component which downloads an unsigned tar file from an untrusted source

Then forget all that and just use

cd ~ or cd /

2, 6, 9. Health, happiness, comfortable life.

How. Two is just don’t gain weight. It doesn’t say anything about losing weight or about healthy nutrition. For those of us with a tendency to gain, this is all positive.

My most pressing health concern under my control is my weight. As an adult already overweight, I would be very happy to at least never weigh more than I do now

Plus if you let us know where your hide-a-key is, we’ll bring the pizza in for you
