Every time I see a neighbor, they got their face up against the glass with an expression that can only be described as “dafuq?”

me talking to an intern: "Please review our activity thus far and I want you to think ultra hard on this next step. Then create a plan and write it in a markdown file for me to review before you proceed."

Great insider info about airports. Worth the read if you fly even once a year.

A life update: this wound up paying off. I'm still applying to several jobs that are hopefully careers, but I've got my survival needs covered by a job at the airport that I'm apparently pretty good at.

And instead of being in an office alone, which was driving me mad, I see 20k people a day.

There is a line around this building to get to the line entrance to wait to get into this job fair.

At the airport. For airport jobs.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Feels good to be back on my bullshit again.

I did a quick search online to see if other folks are doing this mod. Surprisingly almost none. Reading Reddit you’d think pellet smokers and egg cookers were matter and antimatter. They’re just primitive ovens, y’all.

I found a Char-Griller Akorn on FB Marketplace for cheap. It’s a Green egg knock off. Charcoal fueled. But it wasn’t rednecked up to my standards. Kinda suburban bougie, actually. But an ammo barrel and a pellet smoker attachment later, and things are escalating nicely.

I'm still pretty sure I was right. I hope he got right with god before he died. Otherwise St. Peter's going to be like, "bro, JD tried to 'splain it to you in 1985: WD40 is solvent af. Why did you reject the truth?"

JD Long @jdlong.cerebralmastication.com · 2d

when I was in 6th grade I remember arguing with my natural science teacher about what the "universal solvent" is. He was confident that it was water and I was like, "bro, have you not met WD40? It's not even close. Water is a shitty solvent."

I manage this with multiple copies of a git repo and each is working on a different branch. Like having multiple developers.
