Toots are ephemeral, subject to deletion on a whim.

Born at 323 ppm. Living at the crossroads of the Butlerian Jihad and Idiocracy.

I've been terminally online for ~40 years, long before the big endless scroll. I've seen things some people wouldn't believe. 1200 baud modems on fire from Usenet flame wars. I watched c-news servers stutter at the mere mention of Kibo. All those moments will be lost in AI slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.

@GeePawHill It's also one of the funniest things to see as an audience member. For me anyways. Reminds me of how many times Tim Conway gave Harvey Korman choking fits.

Timeline brothers from another mother.
Two screen shot memes. First "The Dude" from The Big Lebowsky says "Well, I could do that." Second from Office Space, Peter says "Yeah, but Samir does." They are both slacker characters, and yet mirrors of each other.

@ZenHeathen I had minor burn on my arms and head but that resolved quickly. My untanned bit where the watch usually is got toasty. No sunscreen involved.

Back from camping, during which I decided to not wear my watch (who needs exact time when camping) and of course sunburned my wrist.

@jake4480 use the sim as training ground to understand sociopaths in management and out sociopath them by manipulating them to get your desires without needing to dirty your hands going into management yourself.

Aka managing upwards.

Iā€™m beginning to suspect all slick looking websites as being AI generated and more likely being used for nefarious purposes. Hand crafted 90s style would be less suspicious :p

@ZenHeathen I never saw either of those until after I retired. Well sorta, I knew I was going to put my notice in just before I watched Office Space during a rainy night out camping. Both are classics, and I was aware of them, but never got around to seeing until decades later.

Timeline Juxtaposition FTW
two movie screen shot posts next to each other in my timeline. Top, The Dude (from The Big Lebowski) looking puzzled towards you. Bottom: Character from Office Space lamenting "It'd be nice to have that kind of job security"

Door Inception
Very tall wooden door with metal reinforcement straps and pins etc. There is a door in the bottom half, maybe it is like a barn door that opens top and bottom separately, an a smaller door inside that lower one again.

@GeePawHill ... but not so hard to believe that there's people who believe it was staged. So many flat earth and other willfully ignorant nutters out there.

Input choices. The one on the right is new to me today. I dig the scroller ring.

First mow of the season completed. Some really dormant bits of grass under/near the evergreens as they really suck the water up.

Sprinklers running for the first time, no busted heads or valves this time, yay. (Yes, the sprinkler system gets isolated and air purged in the fall, but sometimes things still go awry during winter

Dogs are out in the yard, and will be getting wet. Hope they stay out of the flower beds. (muddy paws in 3, 2, 1 ....)

The pens are still sitting in the drying-out mug with the paper towel in the bottom. I should get round-tuit and reassemble them, put them away,
