No tag in my recordkeeping, but I’ll have you know you’re at +19

I’m betting they’re fawning over someone dating someone older.

We’re officially friends now. Yay!

How many times are you gonna ask variations on this question?

Same, except it’s a 0.5L glass bottle. I didn’t know people needed to spray olive oil.

Title character from the Dexter (+sequels and spinoffs) TV series. It’s seen a revival lately.

But at least he’s not dating someone much younger than him. I am OK with serial killers, but age gaps is where I draw the line.

Triceratops. The only thing wrong with rhinos are that they have too few horns and not enough armor plating.

Yeah, pretty close. I don’t have my PC available so I don’t know exactly, I just picked those values from a color picker website.

Ambiguous headline. Is he dead or not?

My 20y.o self cringed at my 15 y.o. self.
At 30 I cringed at how I was at 20.
Now at early 40s I cringe at the thought of 30 y.o. me.

In conclusion: I’m probably still cringeworthy to my future self. But at least my younger self can feel comfort in knowing that it gets better.

Solid color: Light-ish dull-ish green. Been using it since I concluded that I didn’t like the Win98 default, and it has carried over to other OSes after that.

I got back into hobby electronics after life getting in my way for 20ish years. And wow things are a lot more available and out of the box than before.

Lately I’ve been getting into I²C peripherals. They’re pretty cheap too. Wanna build an X that does Y? Adafruit probably has some breakout board for you that does what you need. Hook it up to your platform of choice (Raspberry pi, arduino, etc etc) via four wires (well, 2… I just run power from a raspberry pi as well) and you’re good to go.

Optional: Combine it with a 3D printer to make chassis and mounting platforms.

I now have a raspberry pi that knows its absolute orientation, altitude, and position. I’m currently working on PWM input for receiving inputs from an RC radio I happened to have. After that it’s PWM output to control servos. I might build it into a semi autonomous RC plane/drone or similar. We’ll see where this project takes me.

Model trains, stamps, and books.

Unless your name was Henry Cavendish - Then you’d be making amazing scientific breakthroughs and not tell anyone, only to get credit posthumously after someone reads your lab notes.

He conversed little, always dressed in an old-fashioned suit, and developed no known deep personal attachments outside his family. Cavendish was taciturn and solitary and regarded by many as eccentric. He communicated with his female servants only by notes. By one account, Cavendish had a back staircase added to his house to avoid encountering his housekeeper, because he was especially shy of women.

Stop trying so hard. And be a better version of yourself instead of someone you’re not.

Various I²C compatible chips from Adafruit + a raspberry pi zero. Endless possibilities.

Learned this shortly after our first kid. Baby wipes have a million uses. For generic cleaning, cheaper is better, as they won’t cover your car in lotion.

Just make sure they’re disposed of properly.

Day of the Tentacle

Yup. She’s an awful human and way too into 4chan-tier conspiracies, but she is at least (at last) seeing part of what the actual problem is for the average person.
