Reached into the oven once and didn’t realize the top of my forearm was touching the rack until I smelled burning skin. That was 20 years ago and I still have the scar!

Did this for funsies yesterday - dekcuf.net/countdown/
It only looks at whole number time zones and the cities are based on winter time. Time zones are a PITA to work with, so it’s pretty hacky, but primarily using it to countdown on new years. Needs a lot of fun styling tho

The “finish the Costco eggnog half gallon before the expiration date” challenge. It’s like the milk gallon challenge but slower and with more saturated fat

As an alternative to rubber ducking as an engineer, I have two stone pyramids and a stone ball to talk to. But I generally end up talking to a cat.

I’ve become one of those engineers who puts a coding agent on brave mode and lifts weights at my desk while it’s going.
Now I’m practicing getting better at giving agent prompts so I can exercise longer 😅
