Mom said get some Afrin and use it the day before you’re flying and the day of. Keeps the eustachian tubes from collapsing (I had that problem last time I traveled.) Two puffs in each nostril.

Well I did it. After 15 minutes I turned to my wife and said “my nostrils are so open I can smell God!”

A while back I made a "deconstructed sequencer" out of logic chips. Its funny to go back and read that post because the post says the sequencer is "awaiting repairs", and that is definitely still the case.

Fabrizio Ferri-Benedetti (@remoquete@hachyderm.io) posted on Mastodon about how similar the output of ChatGPT is to certain types of technical writing:

Heading home from a two day developer conference. I took a two day security workshop on application security that was very helpful. It was taught by Laura Bell Main from https://safestack.io/

I was not aware of how many free tools are available from OSWAP.

Anyway, this is me on the bus. I wish I could take the bus to work on a regular basis but it really doesn’t make sense with where the buses are compared to where my office is.

The other day I went to the State Fair, and mostly had a good time. I figured I'd pop into the Grandstand. My rule is, I'm going to mask when I go indoors for any extended length of time, but like, especially at the State Fair grandstand. 

I figure, if the grandstand gets too crowded for me, I'm going to turn around and go right back out again. 

Get a chuck roast, cut it up in 1 inch chunks. The acid in the marinade works on the proteins in the chuck, tenderizing it wonderfully. This is a modification of a recipe I found online.

• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• garlic powder: lots
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• ground pepper: some

Put marinade in ziplock bag with the meat, put bag in fridge overnight, 12-24 hours.
