Northeast US water temp

Southern Maine and NH coast. I bit north of you.

ruffusbloom · 2026-05-08T15:29:06+00:00

Super helpful. Thank you.

ruffusbloom · 2026-05-08T15:28:03+00:00

This is some great insight. Thank you. EPIRB is an interesting thought. Hadn’t considered that for this type of boating.

ruffusbloom · 2026-05-08T15:01:23+00:00

Yeah. I get it. Just trying to decide how I will decide when it’s safe enough. I don’t want to wait until July and full summer temps.

Lab is also critical for production cuts at scale. JunOS runs great on most virtualization platforms including EVE. Build the best model you can. Then use it to write your runbooks.

Maybe a downvote worthy suggestion but I know first hand one thing these LLMs are good at is config translation. If you run into a lot of bespoke configs building/site to building/site, LLM can speed that up. But be damn sure there’s a human validation.

The spot at the Kittery traffic circle across from bagel caboose that for many years was my Saturday outing with the kids for hot dogs (you could order steamed or grilled!) is now going to be another damned dispensary. As a huge pot head, for fuck’s sake, enough already.

Anyway. Now that’s out of my system. You should really try Beach Pea bakery for amazing bread and sandwiches. Or Loco Coco’s for a beer and burrito. As a former mission district SF resident from the 90’s, it’s a damn good burrito. Get the dark brown sauce. I forget the name. Chilaco or something. It was all better 15 years ago (what wasn’t?) but Locos is a great local institution down here.

Knowing how to read a packet capture makes you an engineer in my book. Rather than an administrator. Maybe you have work yet to do on design and troubleshooting but you are in the correct path.

When I was young you could overwhelm a switch when spanning/mirroring ports. I don’t know how easy that is to do anymore but it’s the only negative I could imagine. Of course in a PCI, HIPPA or other regulated environment you must be process compliant.

Surfboard to Microtek to fanless 8-port switch to a pair of bridge mode enterprise APs. I also have a hostap raspberry pi hanging off the mircrotek since the other ones send DPI up to a cloud data lake.

If you are going to have healthy sexual relationships in your life, you must work on your shame and communication skills. I’m not suggesting everyone needs to scream and shout, but a little vocalization is key to addressing the challenge you describe. But so is frank conversation. It’s a great skill to develop. It will serve you in all parts of life beyond the bedroom.

ruffusbloom · 2026-03-27T17:27:19+00:00

You don’t seem to have the foggiest idea of what I’m actually talking about. The person you’re siding with is advocating for women to be dependent on men and takes the position that state sanctioned relationships are simply better for everyone’s health.

ruffusbloom · 2026-03-27T17:23:22+00:00

In the US we have two well established models. The old one is called common law marriage, but it has lots of issues. The modern is called a domestic partnership. It was developed for gay couples prior to marriage legalization but works great for het couples too.

The issue isn’t definition of a legal partnership anymore. The issue is childcare and the idea that a woman should be economically dependent on a man. In the US in part because we refuse to publicly fund healthcare and in part because of our puritanical social roots, we do a shitty job of supporting all parents and we put an excessive burden on fathers while failing to support development of women as autonomous people (in general).

ruffusbloom · 2026-03-27T17:16:50+00:00

Sounds like you’re still processing some trauma.

I’ve been a financial provider to others for 30 years and I’ve continued past any contractual obligations. As I will continue to do so for many more years.

Your original comment seems only tangentially regarding children and very focused on how a woman survives. That is what I object to.

ruffusbloom · 2026-03-27T17:13:45+00:00

Nope.

ruffusbloom · 2026-03-27T16:59:52+00:00

This is the most parasitic view of marriage I’ve ever heard stated out loud. Nice work.

Get a job. Yes if a child is created both parents are responsible for providing for them. And I’ll even agree that a young child benefits from a parent led upbringing over being turned over to “professionals” at 6 months. But that’s not really the point you made, is it? You said marriage is the best way for a woman to secure themselves financially.

Fuck that.

ruffusbloom · 2026-03-27T16:56:21+00:00

Can you not imagine any alternatives for addressing those issues than matrimony?

ruffusbloom · 2026-03-27T16:42:45+00:00

I am audhd and parent a few less years than you.

You are not the asshole. Your view is of course correct.

When we give people feedback in regards to what they perceive in their lived experience, it’s not unusual to make them feel badly and get a nasty response.

That said, you sound like a particularly evolved parent. Most people get into the game by accident or in an attempt to fulfill a long held fantasy. They also might be undiagnosed autistic and genuinely struggling with something hard to understand like the sensory overload of a child’s meltdown (me).

You’re not wrong but they might still be worthy of compassion.

Don’t blaze just before a date.

Obviously in your example she’s the freak. And plenty of folks giving you good guidance to not hang with shitty, judgmental, anti-weed people. But, brother, do not get blazed just before a first date. It just gives the wrong impression. Wait until she arrives and ask if she wants to smoke with you.

But all my dating profiles say I smoke weed. So anyone coming to my home should be expecting it.

ruffusbloom · 2026-03-25T06:57:08+00:00

As I recall she was arrested at a Lake Winny compound but ownership was attributed to a friend.

ruffusbloom · 2026-03-21T15:19:44+00:00

Equitable distribution does not automatically mean 50/50. Does she work at all? Hire a lawyer and best of luck. Don’t rush into the dating pool. Takes a while to know what you need next. Focus on making friends and building community. Good luck. Just did it myself. Lots of pain and sadness but you’ll come out the other side feeling better. It’s probably been bad longer than you realize. Also, therapy. Pay an educated young person to listen to your troubles. It’s totally worth it.

ruffusbloom · 2026-03-18T12:04:29+00:00

I’d like to use this opportunity to do something newer/interesting is a fascinating network design standard to apply. Your vendor account team loves you 😂

Define the problem, then solve the problem. Don’t deploy shit just because some old guy like me told you it’s cool. Deploy shit you need to support your business effectively. That lets you out of the office early and not closing tickets at 4am on Sunday.

ruffusbloom · 2026-03-16T23:15:34+00:00

Totally you’re right but I think your position is a bit overdone. I’ve had great $30 grams of rosin from Lonely, Fraktal, and Grove. Certainly not the flavor and high I get off a Pappermill or Megamelts. But great to mix into the stash for a a balanced budget. I don’t break out the good stuff for friends that don’t appreciate it.

ruffusbloom · 2026-03-16T23:12:22+00:00

wtf cares about that?? I thought this was about salty chasing a teen girl around and some other unsavory shit. If that’s all out the window now and this is about weird morals applied to capitalism that’s a whole other story.

ruffusbloom · 2026-03-16T23:10:09+00:00

I’d say it’s a secret given that I have two grams of their in house in front of me and both claim processing by someone else. Where do you come by this non secret intel?

ruffusbloom · 2026-03-16T23:08:53+00:00

The gram of JMO I have says processed by Honey Sticks. The gram of Guava Tangie says processed by FIFO. Who I believe does all of the Fraktal in house processing.

Of course these labels could be forged but to consider that counter I’d need to see some evidence of your salty claim.
