How spicy do I like my food? Well...

I've been playing some Starfield, just routinely picking up books when I see them.
So then I bought an apartment in Akila, researched "Decorating", and built a bookcase.
And then I discover that, unlike the data pad holders, the bookcases don't have the ability to store books.
So I just have an empty bookcase and a pile of books on the floor next it.

I wrote about my not so amazing experience with a QMK macro pad…

Megalodon (No) Macro Pad
I blame the hardware... probably the EEPROM?

Due to weather, NASA now is targeting early Wednesday, Feb. 25, to roll the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft for #ArtemisII off the launch pad and back to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida: https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/2026/02/23/nasa-targets-artemis-ii-rollback-on-wednesday/ - cold temperatures and high winds are expected Tuesday, and rolling on Feb. 25, gives teams enough time to complete preparations at the launch pad that were limited today by high winds in the area.

Look what the intern did to this poor SOIC!
First they forgot to put a soldermask aperture on one of the pads (challenge 6). While trying to rework it, they lifted the adjacent pad (challenge 07).

For caturday here is an elderly kitty who thinks she owns the sofa. Periodically I need to go out and show her the heating pad is on so she stops howling. If I just click it and do not show her the green light she will begin to howl again shortly after I leave the room. Her main goal in life appears to be sleeping on a warm heating pad.
I want to teach her what a squirt gun is for but the wife will not allow it. Says she is to old to train. OK at 20 she is technically older than m…

The #ArtemisII stack arrived back at the pad today, with a launch on April 1st (Europe: April 2nd) still a possibility: https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/2026/03/20/nasas-artemis-ii-rocket-arrives-at-launch-pad-39b/ and https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2026/03/Artemis_II_rolls_again and many more roll-out pictures in https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasahqphoto/albums/72177720332614865/

I got a Megalodon Triple Knob Macro Pad running QMK last year, mainly for a potential project for a client which didn't pan out so I decided to start using it.
Sadly, it's a piece of shit that bricked itself for macros, so I have a macro pad that cannot macro.
I have a way to make it work (hack!) but it's a pain in the ass.
I want to blame the hardware and not the firmware for this. Seems like it might be an EEPROM issue since even reflashing does not fix it.

POL-DEL: Landkreis Oldenburg, 2 Diebstähle aus Pkw in Wildeshausen Delmenhorst (ots) - In der Zeit vom 17. auf den 18.04.2026 wurde aus einem in der Straße Am Rapsacker in Wildeshausen abgestellten Pkw ein Rucksack mit Unterlagen und ein I-Pad entwendet.

FUCK YES
I finally managed to open my Steelseries Arctis Pro headset (fuck you, product manager who signed off to use the softest security torx screws known to man. Luckily a drill will solve that problem permanently...)
Headset wouldn't turn on anymore.
Because a hair thin wire broke and the power button press didn't pass through to the main PCB anymore.
Annoyingly, BT still doesn't work, because a tiny capacitor broke off at some point and took its pad wi…

Changing NOTHING ELSE, here's what happens if I try to pad to:
- 10 mm
- 2.1 mm
- 2 mm
I must stress to you that the ONLY change I am making between these three outputs is to open the Pad editor and change the number of mm of extrusion. The solver is absolutely schizo.
Mind you that I already built a partner shape for this elsewhere in the model, which is dimensionally identical, and it went fine!

Guess the cat is proud of herself. Wife was in the other room so I placed a fried egg and small piece of ham on a plate by her chair Cat was asleep on the sofa on her heating pad. Figured she would not notice and had never seen her express interest in eggs before.
Went into the other room and a few minutes later heard the wife yelling at the cat. Came out and found the cat had taken her egg and ran behind the sofa with it.
Kitty will be 20 in May and apparently still has some ki…

Open Banking VRP (variable recurring payments), the API expected to supplant Direct Debit, is now being referred to as "Bank on File".
(I think I experienced a moment of metaphoric reversal when I pictured this as a series of physical filing cabinets a la Gilliam's Brazil.)

Hoe kun je in vredesnaam eem team van -1- in zo'n situatie op pad sturen?

I read someone's post about their job where Agentic AI use is tracked for performance reviews, so they’re now dumping every question they can into the LLM just to pad their metrics and burn as many tokens as they can in the process.
All I can say is... I think maybe a lot of people have had the same idea. 😇

There's something about the new radiator bed that drives these two into a squidging frenzy. They don't do it on the other one. Sparky in particular slobbers all over it. Sound up if you want to hear slobbering purring cats 😄

Here’s another behind-the-scenes look into remote camera setups for launches like Artemis-II. I set this camera up days before launch about 1,200 feet from the rocket. Locked the composition, dialed in my settings, walked away, and hoped for the best. That's how pad remotes work.

🎶I probed my board today
To see why it went bust
I focus on the clock
The only thing I trust
The needle on the pad
The old familiar wave
Try to make things work again
But the noise will not budge or give

So the #ArtemisII FRR went "go" on all counts, they hope to roll out the stack to the pad again on 19 March and be ready to launch on 1 April at 22:24 UTC - the table of possible launch dates in April https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/artemis-ii-mission-availability.pdf just had another one added for 2 April.

I've been in pain (of various states) for over a month now, and I'm trying different techniques to deal with it.
Since it's not an injury I am now trying to "push through the pain" and by that I mean instead of lying on a heating pad trying to relieve the pain I get up, get moving, and do things.
And... it hurts like hell. But yesterday it only hurt like hell for like 90 minutes, so I could deal with that.
Contrast to 6 hours lying in bed the day befor…

The #Artemis stack on the pad in a good image from the ISS: https://x.com/Astro_ChrisW/status/2018365716181705015 - processed with IrfanView, using AutoAdjustColors and contrast adjustment. Meanwhile the Wet Dress Rehearsal is in trouble because of - you guessed it - a hydrogen leak. Since the updates on https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/missions/ have become super-sparse it's hard to tell how serious the problem is.
