When the US Army send its people, they’re not sending their best.

I too have tapioca pudding between my ears

drugs and/or technical literature. I like to geek out on manufacturers specs for stuff I work on/install.

communism schmomunism!

There’s a LOT of monies tied up in US AI.

Enough that folks are losing their asses over this. Of course the purse holders want their fucking coin. The fix isn’t in yet, but it’s OTW.

Of course there aren’t any reported illnesses. They need to be reading the fucking obits instead

imagine thinking I’ll have a chance to a) retire and 2) grow old.

Can’t wait for the endless arguments over whether California is a net negative or net positive.

I deleted Spotify December 2022 when it informed me I was the number 2 listener on Spotify for Sturgill Simpson for the year of our lord 2022.

I mean, I’m the one who listened that much but for some reason having it quantified made me want to boot the app.

Luckily ChatGPT and deepseek can’t plumb worth a fuck so I’m not too worried about it coming for my job.

Until robots develop the dexterity to crawl under a home, isolate broken plumbing, repair and test after, my job will be human only.

Been listening to my employer’s son holler about buying on the dip.

Where Is Mao when we need him?

I don’t want a large Farva I want a goddamned liter of cola.

Liter is French for give me some fucking cola.

Piece of shit got out on 50k bond.

Verduzco defense attorney Terry Shamsie argued the officer qualifies for bond because he has no criminal history, owns a house, and lives in Nueces County, saying his client is a law-abiding citizen. The bond includes restrictions: He is not allowed access to firearms, he must be employed or be actively looking for job, he must undergo mental-health treatment, he can’t have contact with the victim or her family, and he can’t drink to excess. Verduzco also is not allowed to be near areas with minors, such as schools or parks, and contact with anyone under the age of 18 must be pre-approved. He also will be under home detention when he’s not at work, church, or undergoing mental-health treatment. Verduzco agreed to the conditions in court. The next court date has not yet been set.

Great. More fascists in my neck of the woods.

I only use StumbleUpon thanx

Just the thought of looking over the edge of something like a building elicits a fear response in me.

Panic. Fear. Irrational, even.

ETA - I’ve flat out told my employers - if you send me on anything beyond two floors to chase roof drains/vents (I’m a plumber) Iwill turn in my keys and shove off. This is something I am firmly non negotiable on and have quit over, in the past.

Grist for the mill, comrade. That is our future, and our past.

I fell from a four story scaffolding when I was about 25 back when I used to do stucco work. I was the scaffold bitch, and was up on a single 2x10, across two scaffold frames when a fork operator bumped the scaffold and I fell.

My fault for not being clipped into fall protection, drunk operators fault for bumping the scaffolding. I’m the only one who had any repercussions, on top of a broken tibia. Six weeks in a cast.

I developed a healthy fear of heights after that. To the point where I won’t stay in high rise buildings unless there are no windows. I can’t ride rolly coasters any more, will never fly again.
