@jerzone If I'm wearing my programmer hat, I'd call that "minimizing technical debt."

@jerzone I used to tootle around on a mid-60s Honda CB160 when I was a teenager in the 90s. It was all rusted and seized when I got it.

After fixing it up, I had a cigar box of extra parts that I'd choose from – and re-add as needed.

It's a perfect system, really.

@clolsonus Right you are! Keep at it. It takes forever to get comfortable running hills; there's still quite a few in JC that'll make me walk. 😀

From yesterday's trail run at the state park – spitting distance from our house.

Pretty rad to be able to just go fart around in these woods on a whim.

Latest run video is live! This was a really fun and interesting location.

If you've never heard of a "moraine," it's where glaciers melt and drop their debris. It makes for a bunch of undulating terrain, often with a crap ton of lakes.

Also, there's some trail runner carnage a little over halfway through, if you're the sadistic type.

Incredible.

@pete The "you'll do it in the end" tagline seems just a bit ominous.

Let’s pick a new US capital. DC’s not even in one of the states.

@chad Darwin, MN. We shall build the new Capitol Rotunda around the World's Largest Ball of Twine.

@lehtimaeki I always write "NOT COCAINE" in sharpie on mine.

Authorities hate this one simple trick!

@Lundemo Haha! That's rad.

Today's visit from the 7-year-old neighbor ended with him saying, "Alright. You have a nice day."

This kid's going places.

@verge This couldn't possibly end with overwhelming embarrassment.

I made another silly beaver #trivia short.

You're welcome. 😜

Seven-year-old neighbor kid stopped by to show off the magnitude of his agate collection (that he's assembled from our road and assorted neighborhood driveways, especially ours).

The kids are alright.

Please do not use Facebook as your business website.

When MAGA leaders behave in a destructive or erratic way, resist the temptation to apply mental health–related labels to them. It is unethical to attempt to diagnose them from afar.

In fact, it's unethical to attempt to diagnose them up close, because their problem is fascism, not mental health.

The proper treatment protocol for fascism is, if anything, the opposite of the treatment protocols for mental health conditions.

@heinragas Life...uhhh...finds a way.
