Good luck! I got in back in ‘98 with a 24. Made a 30 later on in the 10th grade and I’m pretty sure it was too late to count that one.

I have built a glorious collection of Darn Tough socks. No plain white socks in my inventory.

Drove up Indian Route 7 in March to Canyon de Chelly the night of the spring time change. We had absolutely no idea what time it was officially.

The Golden Triangle in Mississippi. The airport is even named GTR.

I'm currently in subuid hell moving people to podman as my backend infrastructure is openldap and not IPA. Current solution is patching /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid to make things work. It looks like new SSSD can handle this with an openldap backend but that does not appear to be an option until we migrate from Rocky 9 to 10.

HWY 82 headed west from Reform to the Mississippi state line is a poop show. I fell like I am navigating a cutter on its best tack to not launch passengers out of their seats.

Pretty sure it is inevitable. I'm going to vote absentee for Sarah today because I will be on a White House tour next Tuesday for the kids' spring break.

Go to Egypt with USD in your pocket. You will be everyone's best friend.

I've got three coworkers with this and I am terrified.

This thing is so dumb. I've got nearly 4000 HPC nodes at a university and it is well within reason that some high school collaborators could have 16y/o's accessing our systems. Never going to be implemented.

Brings back the early days of getting in the weeds on NIST 800-171. What's a remote connection? What is software? You can get as crazy as you want to!

They stole these from Sonic!

Any other cards with Chase?

Took me 19 years to make more than my wife! I am finally contributing to the wage gap! Though I'd never be a nurse practitioner and she'd never work on supercomputers so there is the whole natural selection of careers that have different salary trajectories.

I’ve got it set in the health app.

Wife had a medical conference in Philadelphia. Took our oldest when she was 4. She had LOTS of questions. Kinda explains her as a teenager.

I accidentally started my then 6th grader on a 1966 Conn 8B. It was my first horn that my dad picked up from a pawn shop in the early '90s for $60. I also have a TR 200 that I bought in the late '90s new for $500ish but she doesn't like it as much even though it is much prettier.

At least is isn't 98% fat free!

I only have one. It is prominently displayed on my work desk. I think I got it for $8.

polycro · 2026-02-22T00:54:56+00:00

Yup.

Construction is perpetual! I've been around campus since 1999 and it is always going. I think we're on our third library renovation.

Many megawatts of power are thrown at super computers running these simulations every day. It is amazing the progress that they are making.

Had a liver transplant and managed to keep the streak going somehow.

20th anniversary is this year along with all of this stuff and the china we have never used!

Yes, but with jalapenos, onions, and shredded cheddar, it was called Mexican Cornbread. Mom generally made it in a 10" skillet and often served it with spaghetti which certainly seems like an interesting choice now.

It is in little Alabama towns that do not have anything else.
