I grew up hearing those stories from "old" people saying that the weather is making their arthritis worse.
A few years ago I was diagnosed with arthritis myself and this year I'm experiencing the fabled phenomenon myself. Immediately when the weather turned colder my hands got sore.
Today I spent a few hours cleaning up the front yard and now I'm paying the price. Ouch. 😫
How Often Should You Vacuum to Get Rid of Microplastics and Other Particulates? (2025)
https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.wired.com/story/how-often-should-you-vacuum/
In what is going to be exciting news for the rest of my day, I've gotten 3 hours of sleep. #insomnia #sleep #thissucks
One thing about the air constantly being filled with wildfire smoke is that a hazy sunset is kind of pretty. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #ThisSucks #ClimateCollapse
Hello Fedi,
I am an unemployed electronics technician, audio engineer, and generally adaptable and handy person with many bills to pay and feline mouths to feed.
Will solder and remix for food.

@Stomata I have two that don't even work on all major Android variants. And they also removed ChipTAN support of course, the one thing that would actually be secure, so I can't even work around it by using one of those clunky manual devices.
It's an f-ing joke.
NOOOO!!!!!
Brad Marchand to Florida? To the freakin’ Panthers? Noooo!!!! Say it ain’t so!!!!???
I knew the NHL trade deadline was going to completely suck ass today, as a Bruins fan, and I knew there was a good chance Marchand was going to go away, but to Florida? Within the effing division? The rumors all had him going out West somewhere. You know, to some team I could root for in place of my Bruins when they fail to make the playoffs for the first time in ages?
This SUCKS.
Add to that, Trent Frederick goes to Edmonton, which we knew about because it happened a couple of days ago, we lost Justin Brazeau to the Wild this morning which blows. At the last minute though we lost Marchand and Charlie Coyle to the Avalanche, and in another unbelievable kick in the nuts, Brandon Carlo to Toronto? The effin’ Leafs? In the division again? Are you kidding me?
I don’t even know what we’re getting back in any of these deals. We better be so heavily stocked with draft picks that we start cranking out hall of famers left and right. Oh, but then we have to look at Don Sweeney’s illustrious draft history and… well, let’s hope we got a ton of A list prospects rather than draft picks.
This sucks! A shitty hockey year gets even shittier. I wanted to root for Brad Marchand in the post season, but he’s going to play for fucking Florida and I hate the fucking Florida Panthers! I guess I could be an Avs fan, or an Oilers fan. I guess. Blah.

Urgh, shite night. Sore throat and bunged nose = 1 hour's dozing on the couch.
Thankfully, it's finally time for more paracetamol!
Hopefully I'll get some sleep later 🤞🤞🤞
I've been waiting for a box to be delivered for the past 3 days here in Mexico. Today, I decided to go visit the post office where it has been, hoping that it was just a broken item or something was funky with the box. Nope. Customs decided I needed to pay 804 pesos to get it out of jail. Now I have to decide if I want to pay the power bill or get the box. I have until the 3rd of February before they return to sender.
Today is going to be a long, depressing day. I didn't really come to terms with the reality of what's happening until this morning, and it'll probably take me quite a while to do so.
Know this though, you're safe with me, you're friends with me and you're loved by me. If you ever need a friend, someone to vent to, talk to, reach out to -- I'm here for you.
We've gotta stay committed to never letting this happen again and restoring sensibility in the future.
In my restless dreams...
I see pre-2016 America...
It wasn't by any means perfect,
But God I want to go back.
Hell, I'll go to Silent Hill and get murdered by leg monsters instead of trying to survive 4 more years...

Here is a little bit of cuteness to try to cheer up anyone. Meanwhile, I’m off to kill pixels in WoW since I’m not allowed to do it in real life. I guess it’s a less messier way to blow off some anger.

<heavy sigh>
I just got another automated job rejection, coupled with being asked to fill out a survey about the experience.
Potential employers of the world, PLEASE STOP DOING THIS.
Seriously. Being turned down for a job is fucking stressful enough, especially in the longest span of unemployment I've ever had in my life, without being asked to fill out a goddamned survey about the experience.
I tried to be as polite as possible on that survey, but didn't hold anything back, either. It's an extremely cold and impersonal thing to pull on somebody you're rejecting for a position. And I told them to ditch the survey entirely.
The Omnivore read-it-later app that I've been using for over a year now to save important information is abruptly shutting down, giving users about 30 days to export their data or lose it forever ('generously' extended from the original two weeks they had). The staff has been hired by ElevenLabs to work on more AI bullshit that nobody wants.
Complete with PR corpo-speak and self-reassurance that they're "doing the right thing."
"On a personal note, I’m excited to continue making reading and listening more accessible."
“This decision ensures that the broader development community can continue to build upon and improve Omnivore’s technology.”
I liked Omnivore a lot. It had a clean, fast interface and just worked with no hassle. There was work going on to get a self-hosted version available, but before I knew it I had been comfortably using their version because it worked so well. No ads, no features locked behind premium features...
This is why I self-host things. I have only my self to blame.

heres my 2 "art" that i feel atleast a little proud of! #fnf #fridaynightfunkin #thissucks
I saw an "AI-powered" vacuum cleaner today. Just a stick vac, like a Dyson. But "Powered by AI"
Getting old sucks. Sleep slightly wrong for a couple hours and wake up with massive back spasms.
Okay, I got this working in the end, but had to shift to a more expensive model and change the users default schema.
Then it spent ages (for software) analysing tables and working out which columns to use, but only after I reworked the prompt to basically tell it what to do. Eventually it wrote and executed a query that would have taken seconds to write.
Now I’m just angry with the day
