They freeze in an exterior wall, in a crawl space, or ???

Yes. Branch from the crawlspace that splits and goes to an outside spigot, and the kitchen sink. Kind of a dumbass arrangement.

I just took a shower to pass a bunch of water through the system and the kitchen freed up after having a space heater in the cabinet beneath it for a few hours.

Routed some PVC. What a fuckin mess.

My kitchen sink sits against an exterior wall and I've had to initiate cold air mitigation processes this winter. Boo hiss

I had deleted an outdoor spigot but failed to plug the 3/4" hole in the wall. Stuffed a rag in the hole and 5 hours later we had water again.

Even a strategically placed Shop Vac FFS.

New 20A branch in the basement successfully tied into panel. All outlets work, no fires or fatalities.

Going to break in the Kickr tonight, see what that's all about.

P100 mask on. No way was I going trust holding my breath.

Nope, I was up on a ladder flush cutting trim. Trying to manage the vacuum hose was just too awkward.

Some day I'll get one of those fancy HEPA vacation, but today was not that day.

Probably not going to be a problem. Just don’t make a habit of it. Bad habits for craftsmen can cause issues later in life. Wish I wore hearing protection when I was in my 20s and 30s. Now I have to wear cans just to run a vacuum cleaner around the house.

Highlight of the day. Scored a nice Delta 14” bandsaw and two routers for $75 on an estate sale today.

Inplace upgrading my work laptop to Windows 11. What could go wrong?

About time...

I don’t think so, got called “sexy daddy” last week.

There are definitely some quirks.

So far I can't stand not being able to un-group items on the taskbar. For example if I have 4 Edge windows or 4 different Excel sheets open, I've always hated how the default action is to pile them into one grouped taskbar button. It gets so clustered and adds time switching back and forth..

There also seems to be some weird stuff when searching the start menu, some items are missing the run as admin option in the context menu. Others have it no problem. Try searching for gpedit or local group policy, seems to be no way to run it as admin from the start menu.

mmc.exe also seems borked.

 

[Sandwich]

oh hey bros!

Managed to get some sweet sweet zone2 in this morning before work, after having a good night's sleep, and after riding outside yesterday. Life is pretty good these past 24h.

Phone screened a couple of candidates, and have been reconning bike to work routes for the upcoming summer. Plus I got tacos for lunch.

 

[6thElement]

Nerfed my left knee somehow while clearing snow off the ///deck...FML

MRI on my right knee earlier in the week came back clear for meniscus issues, they think I've got bursitis in it...

Coworker asked me to co author a paper for an upcoming conference. His abstract is so poorly written that it will take me more time to help edit it than it would have been to write it myself. My objective is to a good enough job to be helpful but not good enough for it to get accepted. I don't want to spend a shit ton of time fixing someone else's garbage for their personal gain.

New permanent plates arrived. Got ‘em swapped for the DP plates. Boom.

Just put your name on it in the primary author's role


Maybe he won't notice.

I have zero interest in presenting. I neither need nor desire any further career advancement.

 

[kidwoo]

But you have significant interest in practical jokes.....

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Tell him you'd be glad to present for him so he doesn't have to attend. Then give the speech as him, in drag, wearing lederhosen or simply sans pants. Also make awkward comments to everyone you introduce yourself to. Leave a real good impression of your coworker. He'll surely appreciate the effort.

You'll also get this on occasion, just shouldn't happen:

To which I respond with
rem Restart Windows Explorer, use if icons on taskbar disappear.
rem ------------------------
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
start explorer.exe

maybe he could make the abstract have satanic messages if read backwards

I also have zero interest in shitting on my own projects, would just prefer to fly under the radar.

I like to do good work then shoot myself in the foot by insulting leadership. It is kind of a family tradition.

now we're talkin


key phrases: globalist cabal, the blacks, women's role in sammich construction, stolen election, pesky child labor laws, big tits on the one in front.....

It is a paper on one of the projects I am leading. One of the engineers on the team wants to do a paper on it. Being the author gets him brownie points.

Was checking Kickr/Zwift for setup and connectivity with my tablet and found myself in some baseline test unexpectedly in jeans and sneakers. Now I'm all sweaty and have to pick up my kids.

great ride; bad day for wheels. buddy's i9 broke a spoke at the bottom of our descent and it pushed back through his rim strip and tire. stupid i9 design. he had to hike it most of the way back up 2000' over 4 miles.

then i had to swerve to avoid a truck drifting into my lane on the highway on the way home, went off the edge of the road, and absolutely SHREDDED my front passenger tire. stupid hybrid = no spare b/c batteries, so waited on AAA for 1.5 hours to tow me to tire shop. UGH. Here's some hills seen from the way home before said incident to end on a happy note.

Y U NO CHAT GPT/AI?

It reads like bad AI generated text that was processed through multiple languages in google translate eventually back to English.

You never know, it might actually only be read by an AI program, so it could be pitch-perfect.
