I can't even begin to describe my feelings right now. I have spent over 20 years learning various short row sock heel techniques, and haven't been quite happy with any of them. WHY didn't anyone TELL ME about afterthought heels?! If you can knit a sock toe, and do a basic graft, you can work this heel, and it looks exactly like a short row heel. I want to scream. #knitting #whining #rage #handmade No more short rows for this girl, dammit. https://youtu.be/bfIxrhqbeT0?si=QSb7lAWg6j5RTIIZ

"Elon Musk Whines That White House Made DOGE a ‘Whipping Boy for Everything’"

The man who helped put the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party in power expresses surprise when a leopard eats his face.

just gotta say, bowling against the Loud Brodudes (who to be fair, are nice - just LOUD) is not my favorite, especially when they CRUSH US by triple digit pins every game. #Bowling #Whining

Uch I don't *want* go back to work after a two week break, when I have too much time left in my 8th grade class and not enough for 6th and especially 7th grade. #teaching #whining

Insomnia. Haven't slept properly in a week. Have been trying to sleep for 5 hours. Up & taking a break from trying to sleep now. Was barely functional yesterday. I think I'll call in sick today. I can barely keep a coherent thought in my head. Concentrating for more than thirty seconds escapes me.

It would be nice if this crap were more predictable.

A few days ago I received a text from "Boston Dental" in downtown Boston, a "friendly reminder that you are due for your dental cleaning."
I haven't used Boston Dental since so long ago that I didn't remember _ever_ using them until I went and looked it up in my bookkeeping software. It's been at least a decade.
I texted back and told them that, and asked for an explanation of how this happened and how many other people they did this to.

Why is zooming and scrolling with pictures so bad with #Mastodon's official web interface on #mobile?

The only thing more annoying is the truly fucked up "assistance" when entering hashtags.

Again, urgent need of a time loop that can fit about two weeks between now and tomorrow 9am #academicChatter #workload #whining

I’m one of the true blue die hard no-search-function whingers of mastodon.

hashtags are corny / thirsty.

Ugh I don't know if I've pulled a muscle on the bottom of my right ribcage or cracked a rib with my forceful hacking cough. Even bending over is sharply painful and coughing is agony. It's in a funny place where I can't brace against the rib motion

That and bad sinus/ear congestion are what's left of my week-long illness. I guess I should be thankful

To be clear, any ability or intelligence I once wielded is now cut off at the roots by a very real pain in my lower back.

It's "would have", not "would of".

When contracted, it's spelled "would've", which is where the confusion about "would of" comes from.

You would have seen that bright light if you had looked up into the sky last week.

You would've seen that bright light if you'd have looked up into the sky last week.

Yeah - you can contract "you" and "would" as "you'd".

"which myself and another guy manage"

What freaking school did you people go to?

Why can't you use "I" when you're saying "[pronoun] and [someone else]"?

Would it hurt you so much to do it according to the pronoun rules?

Those of us who had our hands whacked in elementary school every time we said "me and joey" (or whatever) are suffering from this pronoun apocalypse.

It's like hearing 1,000,000 fingernails on a chalkboard.

Y'all know what a chalkboard is, right?

Jan. 6th I gave a 2 month notice that I was not going to re-sign a contract at my employer. Two weeks ago I was out 3 days with a cold or flu. Yesterday and today (when I was to fill in for someone,) I'm out with a cold. If I didn't feel so cruddy from being sick, I'd begin to feel rude. Sigh. And I can't sleep. #whining

I ate 4 extra grams of chocolate 14 hours ago, and now I can't sleep. #insomnia #ChonicIllness #whining

Okay, here's longer form post about my thoughts on Mass Effect: Andromeda:

I just can't write an engaging blog post about programming, even if my life depended on it.

At least my normal Homelab posts could be categorized as "useful" to someone, somewhere, if not exactly great prose.

But this thing I'm currently putting together on my backup operator is on the best way to become the first rm -rf'ed post in my blog's existence.

Or my blog might just be entering its "Sleep aid" phase?

You know what's sickening to me is when someone asks for my #honest and #professional advice, knowing that it is grounded in #experience and #knowledge just to knowingly disregard it and then come on #whining when precisely happens what I predicted!

• #ToldYaSo isn't even going to capture it.

It's just fucking disappointing to me, cuz there ain't any valid reason to spitefully disregard my word.

• Espechally when I'm willing to go over all the painpoints and address any issue.
