balding man yells at clouds by day, loves cats and loud riffs by night. ✶✶✶✶ Chicago by way of lots of the world. Software by way of academia, beer and accidents. And by software I mean my last gig was devops shizz but if you hire me I'll do whatever.
Possibly hot take: I have a feeling a lot of people feel they don't like cooking because they have dogshit dull knives.
I just got my set sharpened and even though I'd kind of kept up with maintenance, the pleasure is on another level now.

Ooh Chicago, you're gloriously sunny and warm today. I'm out here walking and had to take my light jacket off because even just a hoodie feels warm in this sun.

Have just witnessed an extremely polite Korean tourist on the blue line ask a lady sitting near him if it was ok for him to open the diet coke he had in his bag.
Her face was the epitome of "oh sweetie, don't worry about that"

(It's called the ti' punch)

If a university student group had celebrated Charlie Kirk being killed, complete with a graphic made from an actual picture of the killing, the whole lot of them would have been expelled before the ink on the digital story was dry.
