Middle-aged, angry, and depressed. I used to mess with computers, like, for money, sometimes even with health insurance. Learning to munge PLCs, VFDs, and other DIN rail gizmos at a not-so-local local VocTec. OpenBSD and Plan 9 fan. Known to code in MurderPASCAL (Ada), Lisp and Scheme. Mainframe-curious.

A new study reveals that young men who support the so-called tradwife movement are driven more by hostile sexism and resentment toward women than by a chivalrous desire to protect and provide for them.
"France Becomes First Country to Ban Supermarket Food Waste"
"The French senate has unanimously passed a law that stops grocery stores from throwing away and intentionally spoiling food that approaches best-buy dates.

I will say this again: Science isn’t just something that nerds do, it’s the foundation of the modern world.
It’s why this app exists. It’s why child mortality rate isn’t 50% anymore. It’s how we’re able to launch people to the moon. It’s how we’re able to grow food that feeds half the world’s population.
Found bike - unlike the last one that got dumped, this one's someone's bike, for real. It's an old model but it's been taken care of.

Silver, gray or bare metal Peugeot Canyon Express?, serial: Hidden. This bike was abandoned in back of our house some weeks ago but while I think it's old it's been well maintained. It has lights (still charged!) fenders, schwalbe marathon plus tyres - this is someone's bike. . Found: 2026-03-07, in: Seattle, WA 98105
