I'm gonna have to try to talk him out of this shit, ain't I? *that's* gonna be fun, he's never met a tech hype cycle he didn't jump on
…maybe I'll ask him how his crypto bag's looking these days - he brushed off my skepticism of that one too, *might* help make the case my judgement's worth heeding
at today's weekly team meeting, the boss was super excited to announce the launch of a new tool, 'cos one of our L2 support guys got an LLM to write it, and that means We're AI Now Yaaay!!!
so I looked under the hood
and immediately found an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability

this place has ruined me
every time I see a post that uses the word "gridlock" I end up having to back up and start over from the beginning
because in the first attempt, my brain invariably reads it as
*ahem*
"girldick"

having never watched Steamboat Willie, I figured I'd take the opportunity to finally see what all the fuss was about
main impression: dang, that's a lot of cruelty-to-animals-based comedy
kinda interesting as an object lesson in how far those mores have shifted

oh man I'd forgotten how much I enjoy Justice
I gotta dig out my copy of † now - I think I forgot my mp3s on a laptop I've since replaced the replacement of, but the CD I ripped em from gotta be around here somewhere
also of note, the centerpiece of said feast was stuffed turkey... thigh!
and that one I can recommend *without* reservation - *way* more flavorsome & less dry than the usual
got wine drunk & watched Rebel Moon while my christmas feast went down
verdict: I wouldn't say it's a "good movie", in particular the dialogue is uhhh... very Zach Snyder, but - I had fun! it's entertaining :)
and they get massive bonus points for doing something in a totally new setting for once

specifically - it's a front-loader, and it seems the drum somehow started rubbing against the rubber… seal? gasket? thing at the front, and the spin cycle caused enough friction for…
well, I got a faceful of rancid smoke when I opened the door, and there's little bits of rubber all over my clothes
ahhhh, that's *so* much better
oh I didn't tell y'all about the icing on the cake:
I was told to not let my incisions get too wet for 4 weeks after surgery, so I'd had to just wash at the gd sink for the last month, yesterday was the first time I was allowed a proper bath
and the bath broke!
man
faucet: repaired
main shutoff valve: was seized up (hence the furnace shenanigans), now also repaired
plumber: very friendly & professional (also a bit of a twunk ngl)
bath: running, rich with bubbles
we are, as they say, so back

• the bath faucet broke & wouldn't shut off
and it turns out to have no isolator valve
so I panicked & drained the tub
and the only way I eventually found to stop the flow was to shut down the whole damn furnace
so now I've had no bath, and have no hot water 'til I can get things fixed
AAAARGH
it's kinda wild how I had three things break one right after the other like that, each more annoying than the one before
like, it's a pretty funny sequence of events in principle, a solid bit of slapstick... if it wasn't totally ruining my day in practice
😕
god dammit, to hell with everything
I just wanted to have a nice soak in the bath, but then
• the handle fell off the bathroom door
which I fixed, but then
• the chain on the bath plug snapped
which I wasted a bunch of time failing to fix - but whatever, I can do without for now
aaaand then...

trying to catch up on 11 days' worth of bluesky by iterating thru beloved mutuals in no particular order & reading their entire profile til I hit a post I'd already liked prior to my absence
(so if you're wondering why I just dropped a ton of likes on your posts going back a week & ½, now you know)
anyway, I'm now the proud owner of one less abdominal cyst, "probably benign but might become malignant later" flavor, that was about the size of my fist(!) - and, less fortunately, the gallbladder it rode in on
god bless keyhole surgery tho, it got done on monday & apparently I'm going home today

also I should hasten to add that my unexplained absence since the daikon incident was not *entirely* spent in hospital, most of it I was just too busy/stressed getting ready to go in to post

to clarify, having now viewed my last post in the context of my profile: these two posts are not at all related, I did not hospitalize myself by eating too much raw daikon
tho, coincidentally, my tummy does hurt again

oh hey this is pretty good
got enough of that firey radish-y taste to keep things interesting, but not overpowering like some of the little red ones
texture's great too
this feels tragically underrated as a crudité option, I suspect entirely because crudités are a french thing and daikon is not

went shopping for (among other things) something healthy with a satisfying crunch, for snacking purposes
I usually go for celery, but this time they were out
so now I'm the proud owner of a whole ass 24 oz daikon
never had one of these before, let's see how it goes
