      After a couple of initial attempts at soloing, I've decided to go back and spend some more time learning the scale. I spent today lowering the bpm and introducing triplets with alternate picking

      After six months of little to no alcohol, I had a blast catching up with friends and drinking into the early hours. 
      
      I was kindly reminded this morning why I stopped in the first place. Hangovers are no joke these days 😅

      Heads up: on 20 June, Salesforce will no longer be supporting the Kubernetes project with a free enterprise license. We will lose access to channel history older than 90 days, and will likely be forced to migrate to a new platform sometime later this year.

      Quiet as kept, while everyone is terrified of killer robots, the real threat is the egotistical billionaires obsessed with AGI. But y'all not ready for that conversation 😏

      American Chopper argument meme, where the images show an escalating argument between a mustachioed man and his cap wearing son, with the following dialog (all caps):

I want to acknowledge it's been rough for you.

I really feel like you're hearing me.

I love that we're talking about this.

Thank you for validating me.

You're welcome! I love you!

      #75DaysOfHobbies Day 46 - I have reached the point in Dragon Con planning where I'm pretty sure I'm already giving myself too many costuming tasks for the time I have ...but I really want to do one more costume... and I want it to light up.
