After watching how much her condition deteriorated over the weekend, earlier today TheWife and I made the decision to let Sammy go …and now she's gone.
Sammy was a good dog. Hug your loved ones, folks.

For all the folks upset about the way the entire rest of the world is reacting to the USMNT losing, I got bad news for you: this is the relationship we’re going to have with the rest of the world for the rest of the lives of everybody reading this.

That special pain that is seeing World Cup tourists gush about how nice our national parks are, while knowing the current regime is working tirelessly to fuck them up.

Hill I will die on: Claude didn’t “write” anything. “Write” implies agency and a mind; Claude has neither.
That said, OP is correct: you didn’t write it either. You generated it, or produced it, or maybe extruded it, using Claude. And you’re still responsible for it, and for making sure it’s correct, fit for purpose, and not utter shite.

I’m currently in Austin (for work) and there is a bird here with a cry that sounds almost exactly like a car alarm going off.
Anybody know what that bird is?

Seeking #gardening / #hugelkulture advice: I have some dead/rotting branches from a dying tree I'm planning on using as a base layer for some raised beds. They're pretty moss-covered -- should I leave that on, or try to remove it?
Bonus question: for the lawn waste layer above the logs, is it okay if the grass clippings are damp or do they need to dry out?

Tonight’s hotel room junk TV is some show about Canadian tow truck operators, and NGL it is strangely compelling.

A couple weeks ago, I added some stuff to my #Nginx config to multiplex SSH and TLS on port 443. Turns out, this FUBARs the downstream TLS logging pretty badly.
Anybody have a working config for this use case? #lazyWeb

not really feeling old, just kinda tired. The majority of my brain still thinks I’m in my mid 20s and is wondering what the fuck happened and why it went so fast.

Well, _that's_ weird and not at all distressing: three probable Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease — aka "mad cow" disease — cases in Hood River…

I’ve had a rotator cuff tear since December, still waiting for the surgery to get scheduled. It sucks, and I’m sorry you’re going through it too.

the awesome thing about this is I think MOST of the coastal breweries I’ve been to have had “family-style” inclusive bathrooms — they’re just more effective for the types of patrons those places have, it’s not even political, just practical

there’s actually a fascinating amount of standardization around what constitutes a “standard” amount of waste and what it’s composition is like.

Hey, #sysadmin #lazyweb, if you were previously using MAC address-based host reservations with Apple devices, how are you dealing with MAC address randomization? I've tried using `option dhcp-client-identifier' and I'm having zero luck making that work, and I can't seem to find any examples to crib from…

Also, maybe consider how it comes off to post smug condescension when you're (as far as I can tell from your online presence) not even in this fucked country. Really, just not a good look. Be better.

I made a beef pot roast for dinner tonight. It was _fine_ but not great and I’m not sure why. Some of it was I cooked it too long, so it was too done — not quite dry, but headed in that direction.
What are your best tips for awesome beef roasts?

Ummm in case ya needed to hear this: the uspol / #uspol CWs are gonna stop now.
If you absolutely need those warnings (no judgement!), this is your unfollow point, it was nice knowing you but shit bout to get real, see you later, maybe. (Probably not.)

Current cooking pet peeve: “quantitative” ingredients — for example, “4 chicken breasts”.
My sibling in Christ that is anywhere from 1 to 3+ pounds of chicken, depending on season and exactly where you get your meat from. “4” is a quantity but not a useful one…
Really need to get my cooking/recipe blog running at full tilt, there’s so many chances to go these things better.

I live in Oregon, so I COULD vote by mail, but I’ve found it satisfying in the past to drop my ballot off at the courthouse on Election Day.
Especially with the recent ballot box arson in the area, I’m gonna stuck with that tradition…

Look, CenturyLink/Quantum, just because I put my address into your “do we serve that address” thingy, that didn’t mean I wanted a salesperson knocking on my fucking door, ignoring the fucking “no solicting” sign, at 7 fucking pm on a fucking Friday.
Fuck completely off with that shit.
