Discovered that the attic access hatch isn’t insulated, which honestly isn’t surprising given when it was built. No ladder system. I’m working on cutting up some foam boards to glue to the backside. Hopefully it will reduce how much is radiated through this barrier.

The empty post it label thing was oddly shaped. I wasn't sure I would make the shot since it is a couple of meters away.

I made the shot.

I have a bit of a headache so I grabbed a couple acetaminophens in "easy to swallow caplet" form. then I grabbed my water bottle, but it was empty. fml. grabbed the empty bottle and prepared to head downstairs to fill it up. Bumped that fingernail that I keep meaning to cut. ow. ok, I'll cut it now while I remember. but I got these pills in my hand.

no problem, I'll hold the pills with my lips while I trim the fingernail, then head downstairs for the water. OK, find clipper, trim. pills still in lips. OK, downstairs, OK, fill waterbottle. pills still in lips. Prepare to swallow pills.

wtf the pills are stuck to my lip somehow. Kinda like how your tongue gets stuck to a lamp-post, I guess? but it's not even cold. probably just a little sticky or something. just force the pills off my lips, no problem. hurts a bit more than expected.

Look in the mirror: my lip is freakin' bleeding from where the pills were stuck on them! each pill took a small strip of skin with it! there are two little cuts, one each from each pill. wtf!? how is this even possible...

there was only one way to express my state of mind....

I told my cousin and showed them this meme and I was like: this is my life now. this is how I spend my saturday nights. and cuz was like: taking pills and making memes! living the life!

Since there will be less clearance between cabinet bottom and countertop, I feel like this is the suboptimal location in terms of prep and production workflow in the kitchen. It should go on the right, but I don’t feel like moving it.

Picked up a Treedix while they were on sale. Slowly going through my Big Box Of Cables™. Some of the high-spec cables I bought are duff.

I bought this pair of lightweight, plain canvas shoes for the gym a couple months ago. Functionally, I like them. I also like their very plain aesthetic, but the canvas material holds on to dirt like nothing else. It's not a smooth material; it's very porous, so it's not like you can brush dirt off of them, either. It gets trapped right in there.

Today I tried cleaning them with Fels-Naptha soap and a bristle brush. It worked pretty well.

I've been slacking for months, and figured today that I was done making excuses.

Started with the compounds and did some deadlift, bench and overhead press.

Back to the grind.

When I go camping or something I like to bring all my gear so when i'm sitting around I can try different stuff

But I never had a good safe way to bring everything, I always wanted a nice big hard case to be able to put everything and be able to easily open the car trunk and swap stuff out

I found this old luggage at a thrift store recently so I got some pluck foam and started shaping out the holes

Its still a work in progress I need to added a bit more foam to the gap and maybe glue some bags to the cover for small things like cables and stuff

yes this is what I do at night

One of my all time favorites, in the best quality available.

I've been on the hunt for the perfect bag for my daily use of carrying my laptop and camera to and from work.

I found this old rei bag this weekend with the 25% off goodwill sale for July 4 so it cost me 9 bucks

Took it home and washed it in the sink with a brush and soap

Then tossed it in with a load of laundry for a second wash

The laptop pouch doesnt fit my laptop but it fits in there next to my soft pouch for my camera and headphones so its alright

This is a follow up to a post from a little while ago about stopping the microwave at just the right time to stop the awful beeping when the time is up. Some gentlemen expressed concern with the ramifications of this depending on how exactly I did it. This is a demonstration of my technique.

Shading the condenser unit keeps it cooler and increases it's efficiency and helps keeps my electricity costs down. The sail is high enough and mesh like so that it doesn't trap the hot air. In fact it creates a slight wind tunnel effect. The shade it provides lasts during the hottest part of the day and a tree helpfully blocks the sun for the remainder. The unit is never in full sun this way. Keeping the weeds and other debris away from the unit so that it gets good airflow and cleaning the condenser every year also help with the units efficiency.

Thought I'd change things up a little. It's nice.

It's 400GB. I consider it my duty to perma-seed the data (as exposed by Unicorn Riot) to out nazis in the USA. I only find people downloading it on occassion, but it always makes me happy when it happens.

And getting enraged at the pervasive utter dearth of urgency I was seeing.

Also I’m recommending one dude get fired. It gives me no pleasure, he keeps doubling down on the terrible behavior to the point where he is actively impeding progress to an extent that finally outweighs the value of the his positive contributions. I’ve been workouts around him for two moths now. I’m at a loss. I just don’t see any other way.

I just wanna unmute my mic and ask, "Can we please be done?!"

We're usually done in about five to ten minutes. I hate today.

I know this isn't the typical content, but I checked the rules. I think this is allowed.

One person who is responsible for some of the stuff said they didn't have anything to discuss. The person who runs the meeting said the same. The meeting was called the shortest meeting we've ever had and I'm free to keep posting on Lemmy rather than having to listen half-heartedly in case anyone needed my input (they never do).

It sucks. At least it’s not scorchingly hot and humid today though.

Aliexpress having a summer sale, I might as well grab a couple cables to replace my bedside one and one that'll live in my bag.
