Finished 3rd place out of 108 at the @BcdLegacy win a Mox Jet open. On 3 hours of sleep pretty happy with my performance. Shout out to @ecobaronen for the list and notes. Good for 2 really clean tropical islands.

The biggest endorsement I can make for Bluesky is that replacing Twitter with this app on my phone probably improved my general mood when I’m on my phone by 20-25%. I know there are better reasons but it is what it is!

It's half past midnight and I'm currently waiting on a git bisect run for binutils. How's your night going?

4Chan was hacked, its source code was leaked, admin emails were leaked, AND a lot of registered users used their real names and .edu email addresses. Lotta CHUDs getting exposed to sunlight today.

I feel like a financial genius for having believed trump and liquidated all of my stocks in January

The current state of my Legacy Doomsday deck. Next up, signatures for the foils.

Split the finals of @themanavault.bsky.social's anniversary Legacy tournament playing Doomsday. Finished 6-0-3 beating Stiflenaught, DnT, Nadu Breakfast, Oops, Esper Tempo, and Necrodom. Upgraded my ITA Tabernacle into EN and bought a UNL Time Vault with my winnings. Also met @boshnroll.bsky.social

Rainbow Tinker Oath for Premodern today

You ever forget `do {} while ()` exists while writing c++? Happened to me. Used goto instead and...it was fine I guess. Same with std::bitset, I forgot about it. I should spend more time actually writing c++ so I don't make silly mistakes and then I won't have to explain bit twiddling during review.

It was a sad day today. I deleted my tweets, likes, and friends on the app formerly known as Twitter. Oh I saved an archive first, but I manually deleted the few hundred accounts I had followed and have tried to migrate the follows to mastodon or bsky. Like finding an old diary, the bad and the good

My vintage maindeck is completely borderless now. Might start working on getting those factory borderless cards replaced with painted copies.

Preprocessor embed is in C++26. You can go bother your vendors to put it in. The offset parameter may make it through as well, meaning it will go in fully complete and not need a second standards revision to patch the offset(3) parameter in.

It's finally, truly, over.

Look I agree that Elon Musk appears to be on a lot of drugs every time he appears in public. That's not very interesting to me. I'm more interested in how many drugs he can do at once. I think he could probably do more than anyone ever. I bet he could take way more than the doctors say is safe.

I've been writing a lot of Clojure lately, for the first time in 7 years. It's amazing to the speed of retit+mali, but I miss the aesthetics of compojure-api and schema. 1/2

Premodern 1K is coming up this weekend in Milwaukee at Mana Vault and I'm trying to figure out if I'm playing Survival Elves with lots of Elvish Champion or Doomsday (which is bad, but hilarious). Do I want to win or do I want to play Dark Ritual? I believe these are mutually exclusive.
