Harvie the Honda mower has sipped his last glass of petrol for the season!

Our lad did good this year, >26 hours on his new blades, and just shy of 57 miles of trotting behind him as he chomped through much grass and leaf.

He’s now eight, and still as sprightly as ever!

Oh yeah so it was.

Must be $INTC in talks to manufacture then. 🤣. This month looks like an Intel graph.

Same story as per DOE, just with different TLA players.

Yeah. It’s “a dynamic story”. Hehe.

Now I’m reading about pistorm, new to me and searching ebay, they seem to be about $50.

Wile searching, some of this I think should be on antiques roadshow! Like how on earth did new old stock like this even still exist? Unwrapped. Amazing.

The *WAY* bigger story to me here is it appears one can land a super senior vice president gig at Intel (who have recently laid off 10’s of 1,000’s) after being retired — at aged 75! 😱

⚠️ Turkey update for our new internet friend @mostlybree.kitrocha.com

15lbs, sold as “fresh not frozen” still had a plug of ice in the cavity after ‘defrosting’ for 3 days in fridge.

Yield: 5lbs of ground turkey + breasts for curry!

Basically 2/3’s bone and non edibles.

This bad boy is epic! 👇

For the record this “win a Lego set”, while waiting for NFS booth stunt is a winner.

Kudos to @sarom.bsky.social for the photo.

went to see the running man at the local imax last night. 10/10.

@micheleclamp.com and I had the whole furniture store cinema to ourselves.

(spoiler - 12 channel audio when he blows up the veteran’s hostel in Boston? Epic!)

For @thedeadline.bsky.social.

Behold.

A *successful* transatlantic Linux kernel and network debug. Beats fixing printers back at Harvard.

I’ve immortalized this truly one of a kind, remarkable achievement in my bluesky avatar.

Truly forbidden unix! 🤣
