TL;DR - Do Not Bring Fireworks To Cruz.

* Fines are steep, And They Triple in Cruz (proper) that week.
* San Lorenzo Valley Fire/Volunteer Fire will simply hide your body in Henry Cowell park and let the cougars deal with your remains.

Right. Oakland is "near Santa Cruz".

Sort of like "Redmond is 'East Seattle'".

Sometimes you read a book that changes your life forever, filled with epiphanies.

I have spent the last two days laughing my ass off and wiping away tears because...Off The Charts funny. It Does have some keen insight into the Human Condition (we're all bat-shit crazy). The second sanest character is The Crazy Lady, and the only actual sane character is the yellow lab.

Highly Recommend.

We forked it and MariaDB is Insanely better than MySQL. And PostgreSQL is about to eat everyone's lunch, so ... who gives a shit what oracle does with MySQL.

Tell me Oracle opening governance for Java (LOLOL, I crack me up) and you have my undivided attention.

My newest pet-peeve is when I'm CLEARLY a few pages from the end of the book and people want to get all chatty.

Yesterday at the beach I actually said; "Fuck off or I'm holding you under yonder water until the bubbles stop" while indicating pages.

So @juliewebgirl and I are bullshitting about the "Look, just fucking use Mastodon already" article (is excellent).

Julie insists that choosing an instance can, indeed, be difficult. I think Julie is right. I've tried a "Help Find An Instance with Questions", it left a lot to be desired (but it's a good start). These lists sucketh. A decent search+instance tags?

She says: "There's not an instance that is for people who freeze when faced with too many decisions. Lolol there SHOULD be though"

My friend is giving me directions to her place, and giving me fucking Directions ... I'm giving her shit.

You know there's Google Maps, right?

There's a dude with an Oculus VR Headset ... Meta Quest 3 if I'm not mistaken (I had a Developer version, I'm not mistaken).
