It is understandable that the average person thinks closing the "Department of Education" is a bad idea largely because of its name. If its name more accurately described its actual function, they'd be in favor of closing the "Department of Indoctrination".

The SOO locks open on the 25th. There are plenty of ships already in motion toward the locks.

The Great Lakes shipping season starts today. The Welland canal opened. The McKeil Spirit cement ship is operating on Lake Ontario too.

I use feeler gauges to measure precise things on guitars. Something was off today so I took a moment, got out the micrometer and actually measured the feeler gauges. Turns out quite a few were no where near the value printed on them. Into the garbage with them.

Does anyone else see the irony in that Iran is now doing the same 'figure head only' thing with their Supreme Leader that the Democrat Party did with Biden? Who is really running things?

The new 'dislike button' might be entertaining for a while. At least, it will give the bots something new to do for a while.

Just warmed a 'Mega-Chunk' chocolate chip cookie in the microwave. Then proceeded to drop the soft chocolate on my shirt, of course.

the only doomscrolling I do now is looking at cool planes on @flightradar24

Just sneezed so loud the guitar strings in the room vibrated.

An unexpected benefit of retirement... No one in my life now wishes me a happy pi day.

I am always amazed that people let themselves get to such of level of non-intellectual stimulation that they glom onto some objectively stupid position and defend it at all cost just to occupy their minds.

Turns out cosplaying as a Cabinet Secretary isn't the same as being a Cabinet Secretary. Who knew?

Dear guitar manufacturers: if you cannot make guitars with proper fretwork at least have the common decency to put tall frets on your guitars. It at least gives us trying to fix your messes a reasonable chance to correct your mistakes.

I think we are going to see the decline in popularity of some very prominent podcasters soon. They rise because they had content people wanted to watch. Once they are successful, they start chasing whatever content they think will keep them popular.

If you are letting an 'influencer' influence you, YOU are the problem, not the 'influencer'. Learn to think.

oh, I think she does

In these trouble times, please keep in mind all the difficult decisions that will need to be made in the near future. Do the youtubers/influencers/narcissists in front of Nancy Guthrie's house stay or pivot to the next click and eyeballs story?

No, your eyes don't deceive you. This is what an empty Poe Lock looks like at the Soo Locks during the off-season!

I wish @twitch had a mute option like X. There is no one I actually want to block/report but there a few streamers that I do not want constant recommendations to watch. Not bad streamers. I am just not interested.
