218.7 protein cocoa, caf, vitamins load / run dishwasher * * * After high school I was manipulated into disconnecting from my D+D tribe for a couple of years. After I sorted that all out and got my friends back, a couple of them with a particular weed connection from our high-school social circle reminded me that I had told the guy I hated him. Literally as bluntly as, direct quote, "I hate you, [name]". I didn't remember the incident at all, and I can only assume it came from a place of f... (...more)

egg+chz sandwich seltzer, caf, vitamins unload / reload dishwasher * * * Last week I emailed my supe requesting a day swap so I could join the JCRA tour this afternoon, and busted my ass to get current on recon.

I could take a 6th level in Fighter to rush a Feat - Sharpshooter? Skulker? Aler... (...more)

217.9 update SQLyog, Filezilla, and Cobian Backup SQLyog is moot because my db backend doesn't seem to be accepting remote connections. * * * Recapping notes from 2024-04-01, we know that Batman's butler Alfred Pennyworth joined the RAF at 16 and served 10 years before the show starts in the late '60s. S3 skips ahead 5 years, taking place in the early 70s, making Alfie in his early-to-mid 30s. Showrunners say Gotham takes place "about 20 years" after the events of Pennyworth, i.e. early-mid 90s...
