I'm watching Abbott Elementary 2x01 "Development Day" #AbbottElementary
Saturday Morning. 7.25 am. Been awake for almost an hour. Can’t lie around in bed. So, at the computer with a large mug of black coffee, as is my usual start to the day. First day off in seven. Nothing specific planned for today, but maybe some gardening later.
An employee of a company that runs an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Colorado is under arrest
after shooting and injuring a woman on Thursday evening.
The incident happened after the woman participated in a protest in front of the facility earlier that day,
according to the Aurora police department.
When officers arrived on the scene, they said they found the woman with a gunshot wound in her lower body.
She had a friend with her, who was …

What We Learned From Day 1 of Cowboys Training Camp: Caleb Downs the Wunderkind https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/onsi/what-we-learned-day-1-dallas-cowboys-training-camp-caleb-downs-wunderkind
The first U.S. Labor Day celebration took place in New York City on Sept. 5, 1882,
with 10,000 marchers.
In 1894, President Cleveland signed a congressional act establishing the first Monday of September as a legal holiday,
which has become known for promotional sales as well as a day off for many.
The holiday has particular resonance in Southern California,
where the labor movement remains large in numbers and powerful in political influence.

To start off our ten day heatwave, I’m having a very Iceland day:
• Siggi Gunnars was in my neighborhood last night
• Listening to GusGus (so good)
• Neighbor left me a note addressed to Reykjavík-guru. Putting that on my business cards.
Not very Icelandic: sweating through my clothes.
Really hope my day off on Friday gets approved so I don't need to go to the office, thrice, this week 🤞🏻
I appreciate that content creators need to crank out slop daily to keep Lord Algo from consuming the Earth in fire, but this meme of building washing machines to clean your skunk striped jorts in the Boogaloo has to die. Wind ups, old gas engines, a regular washer with the drum run by a stationary bike, and now this bucket? Just use your fucking hands, dude. Think of all the hours you got back from dumping your shitty commute and your day job. Gotta do something with the time.
Being under the weather has meant no alcohol these past few days. I simply cannot enjoy a drink when I’m not feeling well - a hot toddy is not for me. In any case, even when work patterns allow, I don’t drink every day. 3-4 days off is good, and I usually only drink beer or wine anyway.
Some more BBC B screen shots - I put my beeb on a TV via UHF and os now I've got screenshots here from Acornsoft {Snooker, Monsters and Snapper}, and as a Bonus, PMS Multifont - which I think was part of a 64k external 1MHz bus RAM box; which I must look at some day.
(Was UHF always this bad but our TVs were small enough not to notice?)
(My Beeb only started some stuff after I took it's lid off - is it's got some heat problems!)
Happy Independence Day, everyone

In addition to the tours, she fondly remembers the impressive exhibitions she has seen over the years. One exhibition that particularly stood out to her was “Samurai: The Way of the Warrior,” which featured a collection of objects related to legendary samurai warriors, including full helmets, calligraphy boxes and swords. She especially loved the suits of armor featured in the exhibition, and she remembers starting off each day by walking through the galleries and seeing them standing tall.
I just spent a couple hours tracing some code that worked just fine literally 2 days ago.
Why did it fail? Because the code indexes off the current day, so it's now looking for August month-end data, which isn't available yet. 😩 It's a simple fix, just have to manually override the date so I can continue testing/development.
To save myself this grief in the future, I'm going to add some code to throw an exception when zero records are returned.

Great start to the day. I decided to trim my beard, somewhat bleary-eyed. It turns out I didn't quite put the spacer on the beard trimmer correctly, so carved a swathe out of my beard down to stubble, before I realised. Then I was left with the option of a goatee (doesn't suit my face), shaving it all off, or doing the Paddington method of sticking it back on with marmalade.
So now I don't have a beard.

There's a suggestion to add a 15mph speed limit to the multi-use path/trails here, and some cyclist complain that 15mph is too slow.
Why don't they just do what car drivers do? When it's 25mph car drivers do 30mph or even 35mph.
So for a 15mph bike speed limit just go 20mph, or maybe up to 22mph and call it day.
(I'm only half serious here. I did go 20mph on my ebike on a trail this weekend but the motor was off and I was going down a huge hill. Otherwise I pretty much keep it 15 or lower.)
