I vaguely remember Trump briefly trying to be speaker of the house at some point, or at least talking about it.

Happy pi day!!

Yes!

I hope NATO does get involved. Not the same way Trump hopes though…

Not sure Walz would do that. Next governor… No idea.

The president can pardon him on federal charges. He still faces the 22.5 years on state charges. Basically, he was convicted of murder in Minnesota, and then civil rights violations in federal court.

Therapy.

I saw my need for therapy coming over a year ago, and wait was so long I didn’t get therapy started until October.

That and I am hoping to start writing. A blog of some sort. Help me think through everything in a way that might help the two or however many readers I manage to gather.

It’s not often I prefer the typo over the correct spelling…

Phone’s haunted.

Also… Google translate says hai is German for shark. So there’s that.

Oh, yup, thankfully not badly!

I went grocery shopping as well, but it’s locally owned, so… Yay?

Also, I reached a step in a project that involves a soldering iron for heat set inserts. Haven’t soldered in a few years. Hadn’t even started the first insert, and what do you think I managed to do?

Also changing the color of random pawns! That one was fun!

We do. I think it can depend on where you are. In my county, it most commonly is for tornadoes, but it can also sound for blizzards, other severe storms, hazardous chemical releases, and ‘civil emergency.’

I like this much better than just for tornadoes. You could check your county government website, see what it says.

I have an Asus router in my basement, which is mesh capable. The best way to do that is to get another identical router as a node, which I’ve done. I have not tried doing this, but being a router it has ethernet ports. I would think they would do what you’re hoping.

Send some here please?

I have been doing kiwix, thanks though!

Yes! OK that’s a start! Thanks!

All this is well and good, but I have an idea, with nowhere to go with it.

Anyone know where I can go and what data I can gather if I have a NAS and several terabytes of space that I’m doing nothing with?

Is there a project out there maybe torrenting or something scientific data so that it’s everywhere? I’ve been trying to search and I am at the point that I’m not sure I’m searching for the right thing…

Pretty sure there is. Went for a massage recently, and ‘this is not a sexual encounter’ is explicitly in the terms of service you have to sign when making an appointment.

I had an aunt and uncle who, when I was a kid maybe 12, were not well off. They got my brother and I each this toyset that was like make pretend welding. It had a hand tool that, if I remember, let you weld with this soft plastic to make things with the parts in the kit.

It also had a chamber near the nozzle that spun and contained something that made a bunch of sparks.

Well… The thing kept zapping and burning me. Kinda hurt. So, being 12, I complained about it.

And of course, I was an ingrate for not liking the toy they could afford instead of a Lego set or something. The worst of it was I got what my parents meant, my aunt and uncle were kind of ashamed. But it burned me.

Hell I thought it was really cool, and even said so, but I couldn’t keep playing with it due to, you know, my hand being red and kinda cut up.

Just bad times all around.

And no, no one suggested put a glove on, and it did not come with one.
