I would have thought there’s some law against it, but they were up for over a month without any sign of coming down.

In Missouri opponents to Amendment 3 (which would add abortion rights to the constitution) are plastering billboards with bald faced lies like:

• It will prevent you from suing any doctors for malpractice
• It will give gender reassignment surgery to minors
• It will let children get said surgery without parental consent
• It will require tax payer funded gender reassignment surgery
• It will require tax payer funded abortions
• It will allow abortions for any reason up until the minute of birth (heavily implying it may go after birth)

None of those are in the actual amendment. None. Even the late term abortion shit is only carved out for life of the mother in the amendment.

Holy shit, I haven’t thought of Pirpshky Pirpshky in a long time. They were the best!

You’ll hear responses like general strikes or large scale protests. I’m cynical, but I have a hard time believing anything can be done aside from voting and hoping it works.

The US is too spread out, patches of humanity too separated to make a general strike work. (what are people in rural Montana going to think when their one grocery store clerk doesn’t show up for work?)

Almost half of Americans actually want a coup so that the “right” people will be punished in a righteous fury - they don’t give a shit about reality or democracy (or even the hope of democracy).

I’m so fed up and broken down by it all.

Not OP, but I think they’re referring to this.

I’ve read (not sure how true) that it’s not necessarily undecided between Harris and Trump - more undecided about even showing up to vote.

I honestly don’t know what’s worse.

Yeah, unfortunately I share this space with a KitchenAid Mixer and space is tight.

I have no clue - it was a gift from my wife. I’ll see if she remembers and I’ll post back.

Hah, that’s sitting underneath along with a Hario Switch, Chemex 6cup, and a MK Dripper.

I may have a problem/Coffee Prep ADHD.

Don’t you know? All those abortions you hear about are for evil hussies who can’t stop getting with men.

But if I have complications, I get to still have a medical procedure to terminate my pregnancy, right?

It’s even worse, because there’s not even a blowjob here. Clinton ultimately got into trouble for lying about the affair - unless Biden is getting something on the side and plans on lying about it this impeachment is even more of a fishing expedition.

I started back up again with Lidarr + Plexamp, with the noted exception that I’ve actually tried to buy music from Bandcamp.

1. Not everything I want is available on the high seas
2. I’m at a place financially where I can drop $40 on something like Lagwagon’s back catalog.

Honestly? It’s way better than Spotify - the Plexamp DJs work really well, I can offline download albums for runs/work (where I’m in the basement and have zero cell coverage).

Love me some Atomic Robo. I’ve been a fan of Brian Clevinger since the days of 8-Bit Theater.

One of my biggest scores was an original inked comic page from Savage Sword of Doctor Dinosaur.

You say that, but I was dismayed that the whole tamagotchi aspect wasn’t better implemented. Leveling up is somewhat hidden behind the various hardware capabilities, and there isn’t much by way of actually interacting with the flipper 🐬.

I’m working on a comprehensive Restic backup playbook for all my homelabs stuff - backing up to Wasabi S3 (encrypted of course).

So far, so good - the biggest challenge is figuring out what exactly needs to be backed up in order to completely recover.

PDNS and Proxmox are the big bugbears. Netbox/misc other servers are fairly straightforward.

I’ve had several burr grinders over the years - conical and flat - and the best thing I can recommend is disassembly followed by a stiff (non-metal) brush.

I’ve tried literal soap an water (on my early grinders before I knew better), but honestly just a brush is the best thing I’ve found. I have also in a pinch used a super small flat head screwdriver (think for delicate electronics) to scrape out coffee impacted at the Burr’s screws.

Keep in mind that burr grinders have imperfections - and the ground coffee can “fill in” those imperfections to give a more consistent grind. Unless you are experiencing rancid or other off flavors, I’d just let things be.

A day late and a dollar short as usual…

This week has been wrapping up some automation/deployments for two infosec educational events, an Interns CTF and a multi-regional WebGoat deployment for ~150 users.

All done with Terraform and Ansible, hosted in AWS.

I’m brewing some cxffeeblack Uwacu - it’s a 72 hour anaerobic fermentation processed coffee from Rwanda. Tasting notes are sweet tarts, fruity pebble ceral milk, and watermelon jolly rancher, but to me it’s just floral and fruity. I’ve been trying my hand at iced lattes lately - a doubleshot over ice with a healthy amount of whole milk, but this coffee goes well as a hot Caffè Americano, or straight latte. It’s perfect jet black as a pour over as well.

Really, anything from cxffeeblack is phenomenal - Once this bag goes, I’ll pick up their Guji Mane.

I also have some of the Onyx echelon subscription coffee - which was a bit of a splurge/reward for a promotion in December. So far it’s been great… but I’m getting a bit tired of only pour over coffee (thus the lattes above).
