With you. Love beer, cocktails, whisk(e)y, amaro, etc. And I really don't like getting drunk (I do sometimes, but always regret it).

2-3/night is my usual. Usually a beer after work then another 1 or two throughout the evening. Add an afternoon beer or cocktail on the weekends. Well-spaced. Almost never more than 5 drinks in an entire day.

Not if you're lactose intolerant! But then it's also a shit post. A violent and painful one.

I'd guess this is a mustang and that would make it the "small" engine (~305hp) for that car, the other option being a 5.0L.

Inspired by 1975 F1 cars.

Looks like Volvo to me.

I spent an hour today on a webinar about how to optimize token usage with more than 500 other participants from the company I work for. Because billing is about to have its come-to-Jesus moment.

I still miss my T-Mobile G1 and G2 with their slide out keyboards. ... And the replaceable screens and batteries.

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.

 

I took the toaster apart and cleaned the contacts for the lever that signal the hold down while toasting. Now we don't have to stand there and hold it (that was 3 morning routines slightly out of order).

I had to buy a set of special bits because someone decided they needed to use security torx bolts in the corners hidden under the feet. This was of course in addition to the 14 regular old #2 Phillips screws. But it's always nice to have a reason to get new tools.

In other news, the clean signal started flashing on on the espresso machine today, so I have another little project for tomorrow too.

 

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).

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.
