I can't believe anyone that isn't a professional boxer would want to get into a ring with Mike Tyson.

Even at Tyson's age.

The 4 shots of espresso are hitting hard

what I hate about some distros...they take some core things out of a language and make it a separate package.

In this case it is the Perl module FindBin. It's core perl but for some reason it is not installed by default since it is a separate package....

I've had significantly worse starts to a day

This old body really isn't up to running cat6 around the attic

So the oldest has a wired connection now.

I had thought about running a line to our bedroom where the spouse had an office.

Reader, I was fuck all tired and noped the fuck out.

Instead I terminated the run, half assed getting the "network" area into about 50% less tire fire and then soaked in the tub

This ancient Honda crv in front of me is buying an atrocious amount of oil

I bet it's burning more carbon per minute than my 2018 Rav4 hybrid burns in an hour.

Especially idling in line waiting to pick up Rx

So, I watched an ESPN show that was basically dedicated to analyzing what the Dallas Cowboys should do after getting crushed by the Green Bay Packers

Some thoughts.

I haven't watched the NFL in at least 15, maybe 20 years. I still could form an opinion about this

On reflection I think it breaks down to labor versus management.

At the very least the coach has to go. Dallas did very well in the regular season and crumbles in the playoffs

JFC this can get in the bin.

I decided to do the travel into the frozen wastes today instead of tomorrow since the weather and roads looked good.

I made a stop along the way to pick up a necklace my spouse left at the hotel we stayed at last week.

Got it, got back in the car and then my phone decided to lock up. Like...black screen and I can't tell when it reboots and such.

Making some caramelized onions

Going into a 400F oven for an hour. Well, longer than that but stage 1 is covered for at least an hour.

An infrequent reminder to look at and clean your beverage making and drinking things

I suggest denture cleanser for the metal, ceramic, and glass bits that look stained

Acids for your heat up water stuff. Either distilled vinegar or citrus acid powder

A weak bleach solution for the plastic or silicone bits. Then a good rinse and soak in water

Soap and water and scrubbing go along ways too but I'm a lazy person and don't do that regularly enough. Even so, you will need to descale kettles

It just occurred to me that I probably should do "wear leveling" on my build plates.

That is, don't always print things in the center of the plate. As much for the plates as the movement mechanisms

Just sweeping the roof as you do.

This is about 3-5 years of neglect

The trick is to not slip and slide off.

The gutters also have been neglected and are next.

Well, I have some branches to lop off on the other side. Kinda hard to sweep with branches in the way

Any other ideas?
