Yesterday, I ordered a new pair of hemp shoes from 8000kicks.
UPS says they had in in Leiria, Portugal 2 hours ago - and plan to deliver it to me BY END OF DAY. That's about 2000km in less than 12 hours.
I'm not sure if that means I have to clear the field outside our house for landing of a freight plane or a helicopter - or if I just should expect a giant crater.

Happy 5th birthday to #Wordle!
According to Wordle’s stats, I’ve played 1601 times. And because I first started playing on 5 January 2022, I missed playing 26 times.

Bit into a chocolate truffle from a local candy shop that was a kind of hemispherical shape, perhaps made from a flat chocolate base that had a blob of filling put on it and then encapsulated in more chocolate.
And as I'm looking at the seam between the two segments the first thing that comes to mind is... Wouldn't it be cool to freeze one of these in LN2, cross section, polish, maybe ion mill, then do like SEM/EBSD to look at the cocoa butter grain structure around the weld li…

Gee, Bluesky devs ... am I, the user, really supposed to be seeing stuff like this? Am I somehow failing to vibe along with you? #FailWhale

For some reason, I’m really not feeling excited by the prospect of Norway’s national holiday tomorrow. Probably the least excited I’ve felt ever.

Grand-dog has gone home after an 8 day sojourn and I have a 24 hour window until the wee one arrives tomorrow.
Side note: The house is deliciously quiet, no one followed me to the toilet, and I ate chocolate without feeling guilty.

Since falling in love with soccer during Euro 2000, I've never been so physically close to the World Cup (the first match in Toronto is later today). But I've never felt so distant from the competition. Few organizations are as good at finding new ways to disgust as FIFA and the US regime's actions - not just those focused on the World Cup, but those are bad enough - fill me with rage. In the past, I've plugged my nose and enjoyed the matches (I'm not proud). I can't …

When I got in to tech, things felt fragile. After years of trying to fix things, I spent more years feeling as though the information apocalypse was immanent. Everywhere I turned, something was broken horribly. I can't even count the number of times I've just had to be like, "oh fuck. That's really bad. I knew it was bad, but like... oh fuck."
We have *all* had our identity stolen. I don't even know how many times my social security number has been in a data breach. How many of my medical records are on the market? But yeah, sure, let's accelerate that.
The problem was never that we couldn't find problems. The problem has always been "leadership" being unwilling to invest in fixing them. The problem has always been this mind-set of growth-at-any-cost.
I tuck these things away in my brain, and they sit there gnawing on my sanity, like little RFK worms.
