Relative to many, my life is very good,
-- in that I am alive and housed, fed, sometimes employed.
I am healthy and loved.
Still, I am about to lose my entire mind over the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) website,
and the fact that someone,
probably a bot farmer,
has already used my 16-year-old son’s identity to establish a fraudulent account.
This is a common scam,
one that was fortunately detected before any money changed …

FAFSA Is Breaking Me
I think I have been holding it together in the face of everything we can’t stop talking about—the killing and the dying, the explosions and the terror, the eggs and the bird flu and the shameless ghouls ruining the good parts of our country, the weapons and the

Question for car people about regenerative braking (which occurs when the vehicle is either coasting, OR I am applying the brakes). Is regenerative charging binary (ON or OFF) or analog (regenerative braking intensity along a scale)?
Scenario: I drive a Toyota hybrid. I am coasting or going downhill, and I am getting regenerative braking (battery charging). Now I feel the need to apply my brakes to slow down even further. Does physically applying the brakes boost the amount of regenerative braking I am getting, or not? 🧐

Those who follow me may be feeling overwhelmed by the number of appeals for help from people in #Gaza that I'm reposting.

Wow, it's cold out there. Thankfully, I am WFH today as I am waiting for parcels, and have a lunchtime meeting. Definitely not shorts and tshirt weather.
Guess what I'm wearing though 😅

#today I have made arrangements to return my uni loan laptop since I think that one part of my planned research will not happen, I am fixing a couple of historical data glitches in my solar PV generation gathering, and I may start work publishing an independent set of temp/RH% measurements for my home for last year.

I've discovered around 4 PM that the heat pump driver froze around 11 AM, and I suspect it hasn't been heating through these hours. It was hard to notice because the water pump just kept pumping. so the boiler room sounded normal. I noticed when I looked at the thermostat and noticed "AL".
Damned technology.

Today was pure hell. I was in extreme pain for almost 12 hours. About 5 more hours of discomfort and now the pain has subsided to a tolerable level. I am hoping for a much better tomorrow. (Yesterday was a really good day, so it seems one day can be fine and the next unbearable. I hate it.)

I assume it is time to learn how to file bugs for Apple. My recent experience synchronizing Apple Notes, Journal, Reminders, and now Calendar across devices seems to get worse.
I could imagine some extra complexity handling Notes and Journal.
I cannot imagine how Apple hasn’t figured out a fast, reliable, and consistent sync for Reminders and Calendar.
It’s an extremely frustrating experience. I am wondering why there isn’t an AppleSynchGate yet.

My eyes are suggesting that El Cheato may not have long before either a stroke or other disabling failure.

But should Cheato die in office, I am wondering what would be an appropriate way to honor his passage into the underworld.

It’s lost in the noise now, but I felt very clearly on that first day of real violence in 2020 — and still maintain now — that the Minneapolis Police turned the protests violent to send a signal to the city that charging police with a crime was unacceptable.
“You hurt us? We hurt your city.” That was the message, clear as day. That’s why police instigated and fomented violence. That’s why they stopped firefighters from putting out fires.
Yes, I am still angry.

I don't think I'm ever going to enjoy gifts.
I can get why people would give them to children. After all, children don't have their own budget. However, I'm talking about occasional gifts, not a new toy every second week, because "we must outcompete the other grandparents". But to adults?
Once I've heard that you should gift people with what they won't buy themselves. Well, that's won't work for me. I'm a minimalist. If I don't need something, I don't want to have it. Unnecessary junk is only emotional burden to me.
I can get why you'd enjoy something handmade. But something people bought? If I need something, I can buy it myself, when I need it. And I definitely don't need people to prove to me that they never cared to learn who I am, and just buy whatever they like or whatever is "fashionable"; which usually means exactly the opposite of what I'd prefer (i.e. something minimalistic). Or even worse, I don't need people manipulating me through gifts.
Sweets? Besides my diabetes, I don't really enjoy expensive shit that people generally buy because it's what's advertised. For the money they waste on it, I'd buy three times as much sweets I'd actually enjoy.
Gift cards? Oh yes, "you aren't supposed to give money, so let's just give the equivalent of money that's actually worth less than money". Actual money? And here we reach the true nonsense; we exchange the same amount of money, so it's just pointless gesture. Unless one of us gives less money…
What I'd really like, as a gift? Maybe that people would finally bother accepting me as who I am. The absolute minimum of caring that I hate consumerism, and not fueling it "for me".

From various rumors and sources it appears that Open AI - a company organized under Delaware law but with HQ in California - is the cause of the tripling of computer memory prices and shortages.
Word is that Open AI bought up all of the large wafers from Samsung and Hynix that are used to make memory. The intention seems to be to corner the market in order to hobble Open AI's competition.

As one who studied the development and growth of cities, the passage of this measure has caused me to wonder how short sighted are some programs to increase housing stocks.
Like rent control, which over decades can erase rental property availability, this measure will slowly nudge builders to locate new single family home construction outside of our city limits. (The average single family home price in our area is among the highest in the US.)

I live in California.
California was extorted from Mexico by the so-called "Mexican War" or 1846.
President, US Grant - yes that Grant from the Civil War - said that the 1846 Mexican War was the most unjust war he had ever seen. And Grant was right, it was a pretext war to take land from Mexico.
So I am wondering when Mexico will do a snatch and grab on El Cheato and take over the running of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and parts of Nevada and Utah.
