As is always the way with cars, I took mine in for a scheduled oil change and discovered two tires need to be replaced, as it's torque vectoring AWD, that possibly means all 4 dependent on circumference spec. Cars, man. Might as well set fire to.a pile of money.
Enjoyed this video of the Mr Hewes gang getting a Czech T-72 running. Those things really hustle, as was the soviet style.
I thought this was a promotional nik nak at the dealership (which it is) but it's also a USB charge station which is kind of fun.

Went to the mall to get a small Ethernet switch from the local Best Buy, and drove into an ongoing active shooter situation. Everything on lockdown so had to leave. #America #MerryChristmas
I am increasingly convinced that the much healthier atmosphere on the Fedi is because there's no algorithmic fuck-fuck games like trends or 'popular', which is usually a codified way of increasing engagement, or as it is more commonly known, arguing with people you don't know, about things you don't care about.

Watchdog deep-sixes job ad that was actually pay-to-play training course
Misleading listing on a recruitment site? Whatever next? The UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has slapped IT Career Change Ltd on the wrist over a September 2024 ad promoting a career in Health & Safety.…

It's odd seeing all these headlines about federal advice to use encrypted messaging apps. They have been antsy about them for years, and now, because their back door into telcos got used to breach those telcos, which they were warned about for *years*...it's just such a clown show.

Someone is sticking googly eyes on sculptures in Bend, Oregon, and while residents love them, the city isn't happy. Here's more from @Smithsonianmag.
I had been doing 30-35mins and once you're at the right intensity they're not difficult. An hour is very different though. 90mins on Saturdays!
Stepped back up to the 60 minute interval sessions on the trainer. Want to shift some of this pandemic chonk and ride again in Spring. It feels good. Most of all when it's over... #cycling

#Introduction Hi #fediverse ! We’re the European Southern Observatory, and we design, build and operate ground-based telescopes.
One of them is our Extremely Large Telescope, currently under construction in #Chile. It will have a 39 m mirror, and its rotating enclosure will weigh 6100 tonnes, or about 700 mastodons!
We’re looking forward to chatting with all of you about #astronomy

I don't need a meeting to 'talk about it'. Talking about it does fuck all.
I get frustrated with this attitude that scheduling a Zoom meet actually achieves something, especially in technical matters. If I ask for a network topology, I don't need to have a meeting about it, I already know what I want, just send me the fucking thing already.

There's a post going around right now that is a long, thorough analysis of the failures of technology in the last decade, and its is very good.

It's full of zingers like "The average person’s experience with technology is one so aggressive and violative that I believe it leaves billions of people with a consistent low-grade trauma. We seem, as a society, capable of understanding that social media can hurt us, unsettle us, or make us feel crazed and angry, but I think it’s time to accept that the rest of the tech ecosystem undermines our wellbeing in an equally-insidious way. And most people don’t know it’s happening, because everybody has accepted deeply shitty conditions for the last ten years."
