I smell like sweat, cutting oil, dog, and sawdust. It's been a good day.

@Matt_Pinner I suppose salaries could follow the same thoughts. No increase unless the position brings in increased revenue. Right?

Do you agree ? Yes or No

@otokyo__ I would support the child's decision. I would want them to get proper training such as community college.

Be honest because I’m trying to prove a point

@shenetworks Same. 2025 was busy and complicated.

My goal was 24 books this year and so far I’ve read 6. 😬 whoops

@BestinDogs Ganache

Give her a chocolate name🤎

I have more patience with the NC DMV after experiencing a few airport passport lines. It is still a mess though.

@WallStreetApes Nonsense, your interest on the principal is calculated each month. Make payments on the principal if you want to build more equity. The scam was when you borrowed more than you could really afford.

American bought a home for $138,000, she says she’d rather be renting because of interest - They’ve paid $9,286.32 in payments - $6,423.23 has gone to interest - $1,911 has gone to taxes and insurance - Only $952 of our actual mortgage paid off This is a scam

@tdhopper Requisite geezer comment: I remember trying to stuff as much as I could into 64kb.

Imagine explaining to my younger self that I’m struggling at work because my code editor, forked from an open source Microsoft editor written in typed JavaScript that can write code for me from text based prompts, is eating up the 64 GB of RAM on my Mac laptop.

@nathanstrutz Check out TRoy Cooks on YouTube

Wife wants me to try smoking a brisket for her birthday (this sunday)! I'm relying heavily on Gemini, even created a schedule for what to do and when to do it. I bought a bunch of stuff including a massive cutting board, butcher paper, etc. Hoping for success. 🤞

@RaleighGov Don't those trucks have air conditioning?

Solid Waste Services collections may be delayed due to the high heat index. We ask you to please keep garbage, recycling, and yard waste carts at the curb until serviced. We will not issue warnings or fines during this period. raleighnc.gov/alerts/solid-w…

Thanks @RaleighGov solid waste driver for the high velocity toss of my can this morning. It crushed my contractor's sign on the way to the ground and landed on its back.

@tdhopper The medical world does not operate within logical constraints.

In the dentist's waiting room, I had to fill out a long form about changes to my medical history. The first thing the hygienist asked when I was called back was if there are any changes to my medical history. Where did the form go???

@tdhopper At least, they could tell you what it is about without disclosing any PHI. I pretty much ignore all the messages now.

I could've sworn I had a great tweet about how annoying "You have a new message in MyChart" emails are, but I can't find it anywhere.

@ItsJustRaleigh Isn't the Charlotte paper and the N&O owned by the same company? The headline AI generator probably couldn't tell the difference.

Odd headline in the Raleigh paper. "Out of town team loses to local team". Wouldn't "local team wins" be better?

@ellieinspace Look at regions rather than states. In North Carolina, there are a number of very different areas with differing cultures. The areas are shared with adjacent states.

What’s the best state you’ve ever lived in and why? 🇺🇸

@ItsJustRaleigh I haven't got one yet since I am near my renewal. Everyone needs to get a passport and use it regularly if possible. See the world.

Breaking!?! This has been coming for years. No excuses not to have one by now

@ItsJustRaleigh Did the rent go up?

One last time at 42nd Street Oyster Bar. End of an era

@mcuban At one time, you could just go to a SS office to take care of things. Now, you make an appointment for a couple months in the future. They don't make it easy. I could tell you stories.

Got to give Doge credit for being the first to cut entitlements. End telephone support for Social Security, cut dozens of SS offices and make Grandma and Grandpa finally get online to confirm their payments. What an amazing back door way to cut payments! Gonna be some upset seniors at town halls !

@tdhopper Thanks a lot. Just had oatmeal. LOL

@ItsJustRaleigh Marching bands.

Time to bring back "Up With People"

@RodLacroix You must not have watched many.

I feel like we may be witnessing the worst Super Bowl halftime show in history.
