Used to be |the sys admin| at ieXbeta. This was a long time ago.
Every "Flock" camera should be destroyed.
We are a country of free people with rights.
Remember that.
It is a known universal constant: the low battery alarm on the smoke detectors will chirp at the most inconvenient time.
Status Quo No Mo''!
Two. Two birds have crashed, and died, into my windows so far this year.
Trust me, the window glass is not that clean...
What a great spring day for a hike!
An owl graced my yard this morning.
What an oddly specific fortune for today.
Therapy earlier today. Hot yoga just now. My brain and body are happy.
Is there really no better WYSIYG HTML editor in 2026 than the no-longer-maintained Bluegriffon?
Aww did one of my posts upset someone?
Look! Look at this happy dog!
"Safe Harbor" Statements crack me up. So you, the vendor, will tell me all about what you are thinking and wanting to do but we can't hold you accountable to it at all.
Got it.
I cooked some filet tonight for my wife and our doggos. It is Tressa's gotcha day today.
I find it hilarious that it is easier and smoother to have a one-on-one conference call over Signal as opposed to Microsoft Teams.
Half the time I try a Teams meeting either my audio, or video, or both will not function.
Meanwhile Signal is happy to work without an issue.
There is something wrong with President Trump.

Da’Quain Johnson is certainly not a perfect victim, yet he is still a victim of our police. The police are not supposed to be judge, jury, or executioner. Their job is to uphold the law and keep the peace. Every person deserves their day in court to answer for their accused crimes.
To date no call has been released. We live in an open carry state. Police are not supposed to respond to a civilian being armed.
An adult riding their bike home at night is not suspicious, nor should it be considered so.
There is no video that shows this. If this was on video then we would have seen it. The police are allowed to lie to you. Ergo if it is not on video then we have to assume that there was no gun in his hand.
From the video Mr. Johnson was on his stomach with a K9 officer attacking him. Please, replicate this in your home and see if you can grab an item from your waste and aim it at another person.
I’ve taken a CPL course and a renewal course. Do you know the one thing they drilled into us regarding a threat? If the threat is face down on the ground, or walking away from you, you may not fire. You will be charged with a crime. Once the threat passes it is no longer self-defense.
This is the standard for civilians with little to no training. Law enforcement must be held to a much higher standard.
Earlier this week the police shared a summary of 10 specific Officer Involved Shootings that were deemed justified. You can read the document yourself (https://www.grandrapidsmi.gov/media/3ozl51lt/20260331-grpd-officer-involved-shootings.pdf). I even agree that 9/10 of those were justified.
I respect and support police officers and law enforcement. I believe that they play an important role in our society. I also believe that they need to be held to high standards. Our police should reflect our community and they must uphold the mission statement that they themselves have written: “Safeguard the lives and the property of the people we serve to reduce and prevent crime, seek justice for victims, ensure all people feel safe and are safe at all times throughout our community, and foster trust and positive relationships with the community we serve.”
Mr. Johnson could have, and should have, been arrested safely and held accountable for his alleged crimes. Instead we have another bloody and dead victim of the police.
Everybody matters or nobody matters.

This fills me with some hope.
The clipboard history on Kubuntu is 100% a lifesaver.

It's drugs, right? This dude is on a lot of drugs and thinks God is speaking to him.
