My "vacation" is a euphemism for war tourism in Ukraine for some "bloody work" to escape my boring techie job and family.

Ask me about my warcrimes.

I remember people used to say that Britons would vote for Brexit "just to get it over with" because they were so sick of never being able to talk about anything else

* Dirt Rally 2.0 - I'm too dumb and bad to really be competitive, but doing time trials and trying to knock off seconds off yourself is pretty satisfying

* Elder Scrolls: Arena - it's a very old game that's downright primitive by most standards, but the random dungeons and the open world just hits the sweet spot of my lizard brain

* Blood: Fresh Supply - this loving game is hard as hell and sucks and I have to save every 30 seconds but I think that's why I keep coming back to it

* John Tiller's First World War Campaigns - I'm playing a Play-By-Email game with another goon and we're sending thousands of virtual Serbs and Austro-Hungarians to their deaths in offensives that go nowhere

Yesterday I finished reading a biography of Napoleon

This afternoon I read a nice short story by Hilary Mantel about the assassination of Margaret Thatcher

Please remember a Ornicopter is supposed to be bird-like. It was a box on the David Lynch movie because artistic decisions and H.R. Giger influence.

It don't need to be a box on the next movies. It can be a box. But don't do Cargo Culting*.



* but doing Cargo Culting would made sense in a Dune movie, since Dune is about science and religion so much.

I've been fixing every broken or in need of small repair thing around my house along with yard work because I've been bored as hell. Yesterday I tried mowing the lawn and the deck belt broke so I had to order another one.

I try playing my Switch and I get a few hours in until I feel like I need to be doing something outside or something

Kind of anxious right now since we're supposed to get 30-50mph winds in my area. If the power is out for awhile all of the meat that I vacuum sealed and stocked in my 2 freezers will be gone and I have no generator. :(

I wouldn't expect long power cuts with winds of that speed, although ymmv depending on how poo poo the infrastructure is in your area.

A fully stocked freezer will last at least 2 days before the temperature drops enough to start thawing out. If it's not completely full it will thaw sooner, but you can pre-empt this by filling any spare space with containers of water while you still have power.

I'm legit going to ship my kid to live with my dad just because he has a farm, id rather be isolated in the country than constantly dodging other kids outside who aren't wearing masks

I’m in the country and I’m waiting on this to break my kid’s brain. She’s getting bored with Xbox and YouTube and streaming shows and movies, but rejects ideas like walk to the creek, cook a different meal or read a book on the back porch. She just can’t make the leap to the idea that being passively entertained isn’t all there is to actual enjoyment. She did as a kid, but her teenage years and too much screen time have her all messed up. I’m hoping she’ll have a realization during this and make some serious changes.
