US Citizens, go vote! Today is your primary means of influencing the next two years of the government!

Had an awful travel day yesterday. First flight was fine, but my layover in DFW turned from 3 hours to 8. Didn't get in until everything was closing, didn't get a rental in the class I normally get, got to the hotel past midnight local.. 18 hour travel day. Buh.

Finally heading home after the first business travel week. Bleh.

I am figuratively stuck between a rock and a hard place with software dev. AI is being pushed so insanely hard in software development, anyone not familiar and using it is basically being cut, or will be in the near future.

Cancelled stream last night due to not feeling it, and finally getting to spend time with some wonderful beans I rarely get to (schedules don't usually line up). Definitely was worth it, thank you <3

I swear it feels like things are going backwards. Remember when the mantra was "tech will make everything easier/faster?" Like, back in the 60s to 80s? Now we have devices that need your email to advertise at you, wifi access, app, updates, and likely credit card... to turn on a light. *sighs*

How I know engineering was the right choice for me: *Pours brown sugar from a bag* Hm, I guess I cut this opening too small. Wait, I wonder what the correct aperture size is to get enough flow rate while preventing excessive "all at once" output? ...yeah.

I tried Moss in VR the other day and I don't think I can describe how much more beautiful it is to be immersed in the world instead of staring at it on a flat screen. Even from a stationary viewpoint, you can look around, move closer or further.. it's wonderful. Highly recommend.

Ever have a day where you're at work and excited about a hobby, so you research a bunch of stuff for it in prep to work on said hobby that night... then by the time you're home you're so burnt out that you just want to crawl in bed and curl up under the blankets and hide? That was my day today.

Another week, another series of work grinds, life commitments, and being thankful for all the wonderful friends and relationships I have in my life. Thank you all even for just being here with me while the world burns around us. <3

Morning... https://static.klipy.com/ii/c3a19a0b747a76e98651f2b9a3cca5ff/aa/02/t5kMBXMI.gif?hh=234&ww=220&mp4=ovJvLAhsbF1XKnZ05nkZ&webm=gSBbuDEWCOcJ9ye0LS

Work's been taking a lot out of me. Constant customer assistance (I'm a Sr project engineer, not CS), and now two business trips that I got to miss the AO Picnic and work through Monday's holiday. Plus a timezone change and *nights* (6pm-6am). F...

Lise! Part of why my CPU has been running hotter lately. Also one fan on the radiator going bad - only about 2/3 of full speed.
