Alright, I said I would post photos of my new raised garden.

I bought a 24' section of 48" diameter corrugated steel pipe. I've cut it into 35" (in length) sections.

Here's my boy on it:



Here's one of the cut sections:

I hit the cut edges with the grinder. They're rounded over and smooth.

I also washed the galvanized metal with acid so the paint would stick better.

I went to school for the first time in weeks for Stop the Bleeding® training and learned how to stuff wounds with gauze and use a tourniquet properly. There were only 7 people in the building and they had the large conference room set up so the 6 of us were all 10-15ft apart from each other and the presenter stayed up front.

Hopefully, I never have to stuff my students full of gauze or use a tourniquet on them. However, I've read this quarantine hasn't been good for people's mental health so I guess we should be prepped for fall if we go back in person.

I bought a new 'puter and a 3D printer, I'm gonna make a lot of stuff. Mostly excited to make a bunch of little monsters and fidget type gizmos for my son. If anyone wants some cool picture frames and junk, lemme know!

Also making stickers, fiddling on my Volca Keys and riding the weird waveeee. I hope every goon everywhere is okay, NOT BORED, and doing cool stuff or playing cool video games and relaxing.

so I’ve had no alcohol in a week, and I’ve worked and gone right home with no excursions besides jogging (with a mask) exactly like we are all supposed to, and got a hankering for a 7-11 cardboard pizza and some bud lite “clamato” one of my favorite ironic alcoholic beverages. 7-11 has a delivery app so I gave it a shot.

I just watched a guy drop my pizza into the street, panic, take the rest of my order back to his car and then peel out DRIVING OVER THE PIZZA lol



I’m not even mad, you couldn’t pay for this kind of entertainment. Poor guy, they’ll just refund my order he doesn’t have to run off

That's a perfectly delicious pizza sitting there out on the street. Why didn't you pick it up?

Walking the dog, we once came across an entire pie, abandoned in the middle of the sidewalk. Dog snarfed three slices before we could get her off it. She'd pull the leash toward that corner anytime we got close till we moved.

So to answer, you don't pick it up so that you can make some dog's LIFE

Spent my day this quarantine waiting on hold for a city council phone in meeting. 2.5 hours in all, to be the 3649th person to say gently caress the cops, black lives matter, defund the police. They're not done. Nine hours and counting. 117 people left in the queue to speak. I've been listening mostly uniterrupted since 11 and, two people have not spoken out against cops in all this time, and one was just calling to complain about them closing a duck hunting preserve in the city limits.

I've been to meetings in the beforetimes that had like 30 people total, including the six councilmembers and staff. I've never seen the goddamn like.

And heard LA's city council, after a similar speakout, just raised the LAPD's budget to either 1 billion or a billion and a half (50% increase during the Greater Depression, I don't know what the starting baseline was). Possibly the most ever paid for a riot?

Havested like 20# of fava beans last night. Most into the dehydrator, some for cooking with tonight, and the rest used last night to make vegan burgers (ish we added cheese because we aren't loving vegan) that were seriously the best drat garden burger I've ever had.

Every county in the nation is boosting their cop budgets cause of how many angry unemployed they're gonna have (this floyd thing inconveniently made everyone aware of this). What I'm saying is go be a cop and get that fat pay and then snitch them all out but try not to get shot by them for being honest and good.

Now with less breakage.

Working like normal. I have a cushy office job, but there is a sysadmin element to it, and the Oslo hospital system keeps forgetting that they employ researchers and that those researchers have their own network. So the "here's the full medical history of named people, click here to schedule them for a random organ swap" systems can now be used remotely from any random gaming PC at home, while the research net with its carefully de-identified and fairly dry data has nothing.

I'm absolutely not complaining, though - it's interesting enough work, my colleagues are nice, and the infection control measures both at work and on the way there are reasonable. It's just really ... odd that one of the most technologically competent corners of the organisation is the one that can't work from home.

I did take two weeks of doing minimal work over email and unstable SSH tunneling at the height of the spread here, and used it productively - by getting into Planetside 2 with my partner. His idea, even.

Petting my cat. Just gave my wife a back rub for over an hour due to sheer boredom and zoning out on drugs. Gonna have an ice cream cone in a few minutes.

My cat is so soft he belongs in an R&D lab for fabric softener and toilet paper companies as the reference specimen.

Dealing with a toothache. Even after a bunch of ibuprofen and oxycontin it still feels sore, but at least I’m fortunate enough to have drugs to take care of it. Nowadays if you go to the hospital for a toothache they’ll give you a prescription for Flinstones vitamins and the doctor would find a coronavirus victim to sneeze on the paper to just to spite a drug seeking junkie.

Dude be careful with that oxy poo poo. Real question, cause I've been lucky to have pretty good teeth:

Do hospitals do tooth extractions? A dentist is a tough call rn, a face right in yours and someone digging around in mucus membranes etc. To say nothing of the money.

But look out for that oxy poo poo.
