  4. I’m going to deploy my own mastodon instance on gravely.pizza where the only thing I change (initially, ha ha, he chuckled) will be to leave leading white space in posts alone.

  5. "Where would you like to meet?”, I asked someone I’m trying to buy something from on craigslist.

    “I only meet at home, in my garage."

  6. I was never able to suspend disbelief that “part of a balanced breakfast” pictured in 1990s cereal commercials with eggs, bacon, a green vegetable, tomatoes, a coffee, juice, glass of water and so on was in any way plausible.

    Well, every bowl of cereal I’ve had my entire life was three to six servings and four or five portions of milk. A balanced breakfast is good, actually (although I’ll pass on the bacon).

  7. Berlin, Hamburg, and Copenhagen with the family later this month. Never been and have no agenda, I just hear great things so off we go.

  8. I keep a screenshot of a post here saved in photos.app of @scott posting about the “bernal wiggle” so that one day I will remember I have it and type “wiggle” into the photos search box and find it and try it, and yesterday after work, I got on the bike and remembered it and finally tried it for the first time.

    The post is three years old (jeeze!) and not the first time he mentioned it, just the time I thought to save it.

    Anyway, it’s a thing! It works!

    screenshot of a strata post of an afternoon ride up about 2 miles and back, just over 455 ft of climbing in about 30 minutes taking a zig-zag route up the north-east corner of bernal heights kind of following the same ridges that cesar chavez (dolores huerta?) ave and 101 follow in order to avoid going straight up Folsom or any of the piles of other routes.

  9. Content warning: body weight

    I hit that next goal a few weeks ago and never thought to post about it.

    What I came here to post, as I approach dropping 5 more not on purpose but as just, whatever, was that while it was fun and cool to buy all new pants, none of my god damned belts fit anymore.

    I just took one, traced the end, stenciled that back on, and cut a few inches off with kitchen shears, then drilled three new holes in it with my cordless drill. Just fine.

    Anyway, -30 pounds, ish? It is weird as hell.

  10. BREAKING: There is a new thing out there that you don’t have yet.

    Fewer things, please and thank you.

Pizza Slow (high quality)
