I rode my motorcycle to the beach where I helped a little girl build sand castles and capture mole crabs in a bucket. Then we released the mole crabs and I rode back home to hackernews.

Cleaned up my desk and started backing up my (recently passed) brother in law's Surface. It got an expanding battery and we're worried it'll break and we'll lose all of his logins and pictures and docs.

Sorry for your loss.

It should be possible to replace the battery with a good one, e.g. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Microsoft+Surface+Battery+Pack+...

The same thing we do every night, Pinky.

Right, Brain, but where are we going to get all that cream cheese?

But where will we ever find rubber pants our size?

I went and checked https://brutalist.report/ to see what the latest HN posts they had, read the headlines and then moved on. A few hours later I went to HN and they were back.

I wasn't worried about it, I figured dang and others were working on it and would have things back online.

I do depend on HN for taking a break from coding though and it was tough not getting my fix on demand :D

I was at the beach today and didn't realize it was down.

Thank you, we'll probably try this

I lived life and was able to escape my addictions of being on here talking about mostly useless stuff all day and worrying about the future. It was nice and I wish there were more outages.

And I thought most discussions on HN were helpful and high quality

Way to dangle that half-full glass of water in his face.

Finished mastering my latest EP and uploading it for release on Monday. Also did a bit of compiler warning cleanup on multiple UNiXes for next release new code work.
