In the line to Rise of the Resistance with my son now and I'm not sure which of us is more excited to go on it.

vwbusguy, 1 day ago to guitar

I did something today I never thought I would do. I got my first #Gretsch #guitar. I traded the Stagemaster for it. I would describe both the visuals and tone as "shiny".

I might put a pic or two of it on my Pixelfed in a couple of days.

The #Kubernetes #Python library is over here making lists not iterable and harming my sanity this morning.

TypeError: 'V1NamespaceList' object is not iterable

Pound for pound, the whammy system on a #Fender Stratocaster is as good as it gets. I'm obviously not saying it's better than everything else in every way, but I'd take it over a Bigsby or Floyd Rose for any #guitar that I'm also in charge of tuning and changing strings on.

Another thing that's different from my childhood:

How ubiquitous the #ReadersDigest was. It was in every doctor's office and in as many homes.

I don't remember the last time I saw a Readers Digest.

Selling on Craigslist so far is a lot of people texting if it's still available, then never replying again when you say yes, except the ones that do reply after that are scammers with a pitch for some convoluted payment scheme.

Imagine if the stock market disappeared tomorrow. Do you think we'd really be worse off? Surely, some would. But in general, would we really be worse off?

Welp, a plus side of this afternoon is that I got to learn a lot more about how to recover a corrupt postgresql database instance running on Kubernetes. It wasn't fun, but I eventually got something working again.

vwbusguy, 6 days ago to Samsung

Retrospective from a month with the #Zenfone 11 Ultra:

I'm now officially a fan of the Zenfone. It hits a certain sweet spot for me between the headphone jack, UI, camera, and battery life. It's the direction #Samsung should have gone.

I don't like the larger size more than the size of the 9/10, but it is roughly the same size of my previous Samsung Galaxy Plus, so I can definitely live with it.

Kids these days can't possibly appreciate what the internet was like before we had browser tabs.

Is there a waypipe for MacOS? Like, a way to run something like the geany IDE hosted on a networked Linux VM over ssh on a MacBook.

The Starbucks app no longer gives you prices on anything until you log in. You can start an order and add stuff to it, but have to create an account just to see how much it will cost now.
