That's probably an actual quote? It's so bad, I find it hard to tell.

This could genuinely be actual dialogue from True Blood.

I drunkenly hate watched a season and change of that ages ago and can still hear the vampire guy grunting "Sookeh."

I'm definitely aware now. We're global and that means even more overhead with multiple regulatory bodies. Our products are several years to their first market, and at least another year for the global rollout.

And I'm just over here writing software and trying to reduce toil for these insane people who hand-roll excel files like they're databases and applications.

I left the tech world and now work for a medical device company. All I can say is I'm extremely happy to be working from home with the 3 hours of meetings and 1-2 hours of work I have each week. And the director wants to get me a junior because I'm managing so many projects. Hell, I'm actively drumming up work and it takes weeks for anything to happen.

Sure I took a bit of a pay cut, but I'm not on call 1 week a month and I'm not being run ragged everyday either.

Nah, I'll stick to known brands.

Working with Southern Specialty Spirits, Girl Dad Bourbon honors the traditions that made Kentucky the home of the world's finest bourbon — while celebrating the fathers and daughters who make it all worthwhile.

I'm not sure they offer anything other than feels with a mark up.

For the Americans, that's 3.84 football fields per minute; or a football field every 15⅝ seconds.

 

Installed a 40amp circuit for the EVs after charging a PHEV for 5 years and a BEV truck for almost a year on a single 15amp circuit.

50ft x 8 AWG x 4 wires isn't cheap ($1.32/ft with tax), plus conduit, straps, breaker, wet location boxes and outlet cover and the extra cost for an EV rated outlet.

Wasn't room between the post and the garage door king stud for a flush mount box, oh well.

I'll pay the electrician for a proper hard-wired charger when we upgrade service and run it from the main panel instead.

You might want to check out distrobox. Nice way to access apps for other distros or package managers like they're native.

I'm also on Garuda for my main box (Bazzite on the framework 13), and I have an Ubuntu distrobox for dev work with one dev project, another for general tools that are only released as .debs, one running fedora for things that "only support RHEL", etc.

And everything old is new again.

Congratulations to any of today's lucky 10k.

My kid would have to be 36 for this to ring true, and I'm a millennial.

Windows was just the boat you already knew.

Now you have a new (more adaptable) one and don't know all it's squeaks and rattles. You're neither dumb nor is something wrong. You just aren't familiar with what it needs from you.

Give it some time (a week compared to how long in windows?) and attention and soon you'll wonder why you ever second guessed it.

 
 

I don't really have anyone else to shout at about this, but it's an amazing way to host services in rootless containers entirely in user space using systemd (systemctl --user).

Anyone else spending their weekend with the Sonoma action?

I've been jumping between the feeds for all the races/qualifying today. The Toyota GR Cup was particularly fun to watch. The new McLaren series seems like it could shape up pretty well too!

Got the uppers painted and installed.

Time to find some MDF for the face frame, drawer fronts, and shelves. Which reminds me, I need a router bit for the integrated drawer pulls she wants.

 

My first project is really coming together!

Built a set of drawers cabinets to my wife's specs for the closet. Still have uppers, face frame and overlay fronts to do, but the garage was too full to keep going.

4ft (122cm) tall bank of drawers with full extension soft close undermount slides. 88in.(222cm) wide.

Feel free to make fun of the 2x4 toe kick! Rest assured I've learned my lesson.

All cuts made with my portable DeWalt table saw after breaking down sheets with my Ryobi circular saw and a harbor freight clamp as an edge guide.

 

I applied some paste wax to the table saw and was pleasantly surprised that it made a difference.

I think I'll have to use this on the wood runners on the old dresser I have too.

In case you're concerned, it's just a little DeWalt contractor's table saw. No sawstop or powermatic here. That's for the cool guys on youtube.
