BOFH excuse #249:
Unfortunately we have run out of bits/bytes/whatever. Don't worry, the next supply will be coming next week.
I am I got a slide rule the first week of the ninth grade because I would need it for math and science classes over the next few years in high school years old. But then we moved and I went to a different high school after that year and never needed it after that. And then computers happened and I have no idea if anyone still uses #slipsticks anymore. Never did understand how/why they worked.

It's okay to take a social media break today. Or until next week, or until the next, or maybe I'll never go back?
The amount of chaos and hate is reaching a fever pitch again.

We are having some building work done next week so we've ordered a skip to be delivered today. Also today our next door neighbours are moving out.
Skip wagon arrives about 11-ish, knocks next door who tell him that no they haven't ordered a skip but they know that next door (i.e. us) is waiting for one. Skippy rings my doorbell, delivers the skip and drives off.
90 minutes later another skip wagon turns up, rings my doorbell and says "there's no room for your skip because you've already got one". Which obviously I do.
Meanwhile the new next door neighbours are starting to move in and say "is that our skip?"
Given they're both 8 yard skips you'd think they could just deliver ours next door but apparently not as it's a different skip company. So he spent 30 minutes shuffling skips between our driveway & next door.

And when I'm talking about understanding the drives to violence, I did write about something similar recently.
https://write.as/hexmhell/algorithmic-violence
The drives behind this and the shooting last week are pretty radically different, but there's some overlap. People like Kirk are part a huge political machine slowly crushing people all over the world. There's a hopeless rage that would naturally drive even the most calm person to the edge of violence. You can't look at the world honestly and be OK. We want to do something. We want to react. But everything we do is silenced or must rmain silent. So it's easy to understand why someone might choose violence. Very different situation, but everyone is subject to the same national and international influences.
I don't promote violence, not because I disagree with it but because I think it's expensive. It takes time to plan, especially for those trying to get away. Guns are not cheap, nor are bullets, nor is the range time you need to get somewhat good under pressure. It's not cheap for the person doing it, and it's not cheap for the community that has to clean up. The community will face police repression (which, if we're honest, was gonna come anyway). The community will have to post bail, will lose a person for a while, will need to support the family, will go to hearings, will write reports, will do interviews.
Sun Tzu said that deploying one soldier to the front takes 7 in the field. Logistics are a huge invisible cost. Some of that time and energy could be reused. It's never bad to be armed and able to defend if needed. But a lot of that energy and time would be better spent planning a community pantry, a tool library, organizing a union, etc. We are living in a disaster, and we need to invest in thriving through the next crumble.
Kirk is replacable. They're almost all replacable, because they don't really care about human life. We do, so none of us are. It's not really a worth while trade, IMHO.

Final day of having the carpenter here. A lot of sawing. Built the dresser desk drawers, cut all the perspex into shape for the windowed doors that fit together now but still need gluing.
The dresser drawers are just about big enough to put the hairdryer in, so that's nice.
Still quite a bit for the other workers to do. Detailing for panels on the doors, gluing and hanging the window doors, handles and painting and touch ups. They reckon another 5 days work still, only two of which can be next week because I have stuff to do.
Must be weird being a builder and finishing your part of the job then never seeing it completed. He's done all this great work on it but will only see the completed work if he has to come back for something else. And he doesn't want to come back coz he's fed up of driving across London 😆

Will CeeDee Lamb return next week? Latest injury update on Dallas Cowboys superstar https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/dallas-cowboys/news/will-ceedee-lamb-return-next-week-injury-update-dall…
I think today's worker is the owner of the company, he certainly is the assessor.
He worked a lot later than those without the vested interest there. 😆 I finished work at my job before he did! 🤭
All the wood was sanded down and remaining nude wood given some paint. We have a test plank in the foreground of the first picture here which is painted with a second coat of paint. Seems likely we lose all the wood grain when doing that, and so will prefer the paler look where it's obviously made of wood not paint.
Won't really know for sure till it's dry. Prefer the colour a bit darker like that but if we're hiding the wood grain we might as well have used MDF instead of pine. We're after something clearly made of wood.
Another area is test-painted with just the clearcoat top varnish as a second layer. That's likely to be right, just a bit more shiny and protected.
The carpenter proper is back from holiday and starts tomorrow. He has a lot of drawers and doors to build and edging to attach to make the door panels. Still hoping at least the carpentry will be pretty much all done by the end of the week but likely some painting and touching up still to do next week. Hopefully by the end of Tuesday because I'm not really able to be here all day each day for most of the two weeks after that.
