My favorite coffee mug. It was a wide mug good for cappuccinos. I got it from a previous job almost 10 years ago.

It might have been fixable, but I now have an excuse to actually buy a mug next time I see a fun one.

    I played a couple Illuminate missions today. It was fun. Both new enemies can be killed with light pen. The Bullet Storm helped a lot. The big guys provide a good use case for Lure Mines.

    I split off to take out a small base. I ended up crouch sneaking most of the way back to avoid the patrols. At one point I was sneaking down a street and saw a handful of Wretch were skulking down the opposite side. I tossed a turret their way. It distracted them long enough for me to rejoin the squad.

    Not sure how I feel about the extra SEAF troops. There are a lot now and new ones get dropped off every couple minutes. They were helping, but mostly as an enemy distraction.

    Then stop fighting Terminids /s

    It's a little glitchy at times, but I haven't noticed any major issues since the "terminal stuck in the ground" bug.

    My characters arm still occasionally goes stiff on the ship. Some enemies might spaghettify to 100 feet tall. But that's just the beauty of Super Earth engineering.

    I got my first EV about a month ago. I charge off a 120v 15a outlet at home and I've been fine. Yes, it would take 2 days to go from 0 to 100%, but that's not necessary. It only takes a few hours to charge the 6% I average per day.

    I saw it yesterday. It's a fun movie. I'm glad I watched the original Anaconda beforehand. Jack Black plays a similar role as his Be Kind Rewind character. I don't think the framing device can hold sequels, but I guess it works for the Scream movies.

    I can't remember a particularly weird one, but the most infuriating cable I've encountered is the power cable for my Acer Swift 3. It's a tiny barrel pin that plugs into a poorly secured port on the laptop. The laptop has a usb-c port, but it doesn't support charging.

    It's a great game. It's amazing how many problems you can solve by hijacking a nearby ship and ramming it into your target.

    Getting a time dilation device and blitzing across a dozen rooms to your target feels like an action movie scene.

    It feels like an immersive sim but you can finish a mission in 5 minutes.

    A few of our users occasionally spin up pods that do a lot of number crunching. The front end is a web app that queries the pod and waits for a response.

    Some of these queries exceed the default 30s timeout for the pod ingress. So, I added an annotation to the pod ingress to increase the timeout to 60s. Users still report occasional timeouts.

    I asked how long they need the timeout to be. They requested 1 hour.

    This seems excessive. My gut feeling is this will cause problems. However, I don't know enough about ingress timeouts to know what will break. So, what is the worst case scenario of 3-10 pods having 1 hour ingress timeouts?

     

    I have a 14lb weighted blanket, but it is too heavy. I only use it on my legs or not at all. I live in a hot climate so I want a light blanket, but the two I own are often not quite warm enough on their own, and they feel too light.

    I need something in the middle and I don't know what to look for.

    Current light blankets:
