I didn't realize how complicated the design of shovels were
I mean the stamped ridges have to be just so to avoid flexing, but not too much to compromise integrity of the steel
And the front angle has to be just so to make it easy to push through soil, but not too sharp to avoid breaking the tip
All of this even before getting into the complexity of "tri-folding" entrenching tools
Today is pretty good. Pretty darn good.
cottage cheese and spicy salami are amazing together.
Reading about how everyone to the east is melting and feeling damn grateful as I put on a light jacket and head out for a walk.

If someone with a disability or a chronic illness or a mental illness tells you something is too difficult for them to do, believe them. Maybe it's something they could do on another occasion. Maybe it's something you find, or even "everyone" finds, easy. Maybe it's something you found trivial to research or learn how to do. Believe them anyway. Maybe it's only three steps, maybe it's a piece of software, or a phone call. Believe them anyway.
Believe people when they tell you their experiences.
it's misty and cool outside and my walk this morning is going to be lovely.

Hi everybody! We're (Roblox) building a Site Reliability Operations team to take some of the operations load off Site Reliability Engineering to give us space to automate stuff, as well as to give us a way to bring people in with a diverse array of backgrounds who might be interested in a career path that leads to being a software engineer or site reliability engineer.
This is a contract role with the potential to go permanent, which is why it's not on our careers page. (Continued)
Honestly, the comparison of this St. George statue restoration to Ecce Homo Monkey Christ is unfair. Sure, they used the wrong type of paint and likely ruined the remaining original pigment, but it probably actually was that garish when it was made. What we think of as classic looking is really hundreds of years of yellowing and fading. People have always loved bright and sometimes tacky colours.
