@RexfordGTugwell hey, I'm not the musical genius he is, so I have to assume he had a really good reason.

I learned today that Johann Strauss wrote a polka to commemorate the demolition of a wall in Austria.

The environmental services dudes brought the Vactor 2100 to career day. I was indeed jumping up and down like the kid I am. That is one fucking awesome piece of machinery.

Got to talk engineering to a class of special needs kids today and apparently really inspired them. They definitely inspired me. I think career day is at least half for the grownups.

Fucking hell y'all are the worst at times.
STOP THINKING ABOUT YOUR SELFISH ASS. IT'S A COMMUNITY. COMMUNICATE.

Got blocked (instance/user)? CHILL THE FUCK OUT. WAIT A FEW HOURS. Then either stop caring or try to solve it by discussing it calmly and defending your case. Can't do that? Ask me I'll help communicate if that's needed.

BUT DON'T JUST SPEND THE REST OF THE DAY TALKING SHIT PUBLICLY ABOUT THE ADMIN WHO BANNED YOU, YOU FUCKING IDIOT

My chose Flathead by the Fratellis for this morning's earworm.

When the world flips the bird, I watch Te Chronicles of Riddick. Melkor, you da bettah killah.

I would love a cookbook where recipes are explained through Gantt charts.

Here I am, a scientist running an engineering company, trying to eat spaghetti and meatballs with a soup spoon and a butter knife. or ?

@SuzanEraslan thanks...needed a next read too. I read Left Hand of Darkness a long time ago, maybe I should refresh too.

there are men on the fediverse terrified by the very presence of witches.town and that's the most fucking on-brand thing

sitting in a McDonalds in Silverlake and there are two guys at the next table singing along to Motown on a blue Bluetooth boombox. coffee is just the right temperature and all is right with the world for these precious minutes.

@evilscientistca guess so...funny thing is that I actually thought about it for a sec.
