Become overwhelmed and do nothing. This was not a problem prior to having children though. In the before time I'd go train in martial arts, video games with friends, etc.

Doing ok: in-laws took the kids yesterday. My wife and I were able to take some pretty sweet naps.

We have been very lucky and fortunate to acquire the American dream. My wife and I wouldn't have been able to do it without the help of her family though. Every time I look at the housing market it's only gotten crazier.

I didn't go, I didn't see the point in it. People always ask if I regret not going: not even a little bit. I don't like dancing and thought the entire idea of it dumb to begin with. Also, I'd rather not go broke over one night like that. I did have a few friends go and they said they had fun, good for them. It's just not my thing.

A microwave/mini oven combo (or at least ours is). Despite the name, it actually takes quite a while to preheat.

I hear thermite is good at destroying things.

My wife and I were lucky enough to be able to purchase a home at a decent rate and then refinance a few years later to an even better rate (around 3.5%). We bought in 2019, when the world was still somewhat sane. The thought of trying to sell and get a new home at the higher rate makes me sick to my stomach and I feel bad for my brother-in-law.

When we redid our kitchen I demanded induction. We had a shitty electric stove before, but I love my induction. It's be hard for me to go back to anything else.

I use Windows 11 for work...it was the last nail in the coffin to make my new personal rig use Linux.

Probably a good thing I never heard back from them for my interview.

Frankly, I thought he did an unexpected rocket punch.

Depends on my laziness. I just bought parts for my new rig on Newegg. I was going to do microcenter, but they didn't have everything I wanted.

 

I may have ate too much, but I am so happy with the results. Not bad for my first time and battling with rain messing with my temp.

Never smoked beef short ribs before. I'm looking forward to them. Here's to hoping I don't screw it up!

 

Ive been wanting to smoke short ribs for a while now. It's supposed to rain today, but that's not gonna stop me!
