No, you don't escape this one Microsoft!

So anyway, the owners of the company I work for had a global call last week on Wednesday at 5am local time. I was ready with a 15minute alarm so I could have time to spare. Just find the item on my teams schedule and click the link thought.

So Wednesday comes, I wake up, run to the laptop, plug in my security dongle hit the on button... The thing takes a fucking 4 minutes to start for whatever the fuck reason. Hmm ok, I have a few more minutes, no problem! Click the.... Fuck! It's just a photo!!!! Ok find the original invite! Found it! Click the link! Surely this takes me directly to the meeting, right? Right? No! Its a fucking download! Oh ok where did that shit go? To the downloads folder! Ok click! Ok now getting into the meeting! Finally! Shit! No volume! Where's the un-mute! The fucking unmute! What's she saying? Fuck! There! Done!....

"So that's how you can enter information into our database... If you have any questions feel free to contact me directly blah blah thanks for joining, good bye!"

So I scrambled to the link to find a make-up session. Found it, signed up. Now for 38 minutes ago local time fucking midnight. Same fucking ordeal to get to the stupid fucking teams meeting for a fucking recording!!!!!!

Holy fucking donkey shit! They made me do all that for a recording that could have just been sent as a link for me to see at my leasure at any moment during a normal business hour???!!!!!!

I need two uncomfortable foldable chairs, duct tape and a bat. Not a corked bat. I need a 2X4 with a handle or a lead pipe. One chair is for the asshole who figured out a way to make computers so fucking useless at Microsoft. The other is for the total wackjob who thinks you need a midnight or 5 am meeting to watch a 10 minute video recording. You both should be very ashamed of being people. Heck, no, be ashamed of being animals at all. Things that are not inanimate. Holy jeezets you both are so stupid!

Ok, now I'm going to sleep. Goodbye! Have a wonderful day y'all!

Riding the link yesterday

I've never seen the link that full before. From South shoreline to the stadium exit it started as standing room only and it ended in sardines jam-packed.

It's both cool and also cool. As I contorted to see out the window towards the 5....under the tall guy's armpit hairs a couple of noses, several boobs and receding hairlines....the cars were barely slightly faster until they hit the usual traffic wall. There, that's when I felt like it was a good lol time. Screw cars.

I was only slightly afraid of falling through a safety door. But it's not manufactured by Boeing so, it was all good. We got out and the mass of people just walked together to the phone stadium. Motorola? Huawei? You know that pink stadium you usually see off the distance from the 5. It was a nice exercise for the riders. I felt like a little ant in the middle of an active attack. It was funny that we still obayed traffic signals.

It was worse on the way back home. But it totally beat having to park your car on a $50 per hour spot or whatever they charge for that now. I totally agree, cars need not drive there. 3,000lb of useless mass to carry a guy vs just hundreds and hundreds of people coating the street.

On the sides of the streets they setup tables selling water and snacks on the way in. On the way out they had the dinner tables... hotdogs and burgers and burritos and fries and a ton of other stuff like adobo chicken. No end of ad-hoc food stands. But unfortunately not a lot of people were stopping. Like me, they had one thing in their mind....GTFO! Sorry, but I just don't have extra income to spend. I also didn't want to go. My wife's family dragged us in. Neither my kids nor I follow baseball ⚾ or care one bit for it. But I still loved being in that one place at once with just a shit ton of other people. I even watched the Mariners win or lose or whatever. I was on the jumbotron and did the wave for like 10 times. I had a good time. Just don't have extra money to give out for anything. So getting home was the thing on my mind.

Email ownership, I give up.

I give up.

I tried left and right to try to install an email server so I could degoogle my life.

But therechnical barrier is thick and Google keeps adding more to it. Forget it. I can't even get thru the installation process much less trying to get my shit off Google.

I figure, I don't actually have any need for my email addresses. Just like my phone number. I never call anyone. I'm going to discourage my kids from using email at all. I'll remind everyone I know that I don't use email at every opportunity I get just like I remind people to not call me and that my phone number is not available.

Between spammers and Google, I just don't need this headache in my life. My mom is much less technically savvy than the average pet. So Google will just siphon her data and when the megabits are full then you just delete the old stuff.

You don't need it. No one will spend their life reading your emails when you're gone or watching your videos or listening to your recordings or viewing your photos. There's no need to worry about just deleting the pile of shit you've accumulated. I'm this done.

Seattle housing be like...

A house down the road. Sure it's nice but it has absolutely no yard and you can't have a pet or anything that makes noise or the neighbors will quickly complain.

So just almost 8000 a month! I used to pay $5000 a year in taxes in 2005, so it's like paying property taxes every month! Yey! So affordable!

Seriously, I don't know what sort of fool would be convinced to move into any of these hundreds of houses that are basically 1.5million dollars. They would need to tare them down and built into mini hotels. Problem is that there are literally no local tourists attractions. It would have to be a college dorm house or multi-family slumlord special.

The algorithm being helpful

If you want to know how to do something now, a year ago, 5 months ago, 9 years ago, you can!

That's normal now!

Your car making noises?
You'll want to adjust the carburetor!
No, the battery pack ESR is out of range!
No, the fuel injectors are clogged again!
No, the flux capacitors!
No, wheel rock wrong, wheel oak wood good! No, the pitch on your propellers is off!

Google meet ready set enshitify!

This fucking guy calls me mid meeting.

How do I block random assholes from calling me?

Google... I don't know, add them to your contacts and then block them?

How about you can't call me? How about I just select the name and the option appears for me to block the caller?

A phone is a fucking door to my life. I don't tolerate Jehovah's deepshits on Saturday mornings. Why would I allow a rando calling me mid meeting? That's why I don't give out my phone. Phone numbers are just even dumber than this. But if anyone who pays Google can just call me, that system is not usable to me.

Sorry Google, One fuck us is one too many for me, I'm out. I'll be removing that app now. Thanks!

I gotta say some shit

Done "some shit"

Now, I would like the opportunity, now that I have your shit post attention, to talk about race and culture.

As a poor immigrant from a Latin American country who grew up in the Chicano Park area of Sandy SanDiego California, I was absolutely delighted to move to Washington state. Here, a found welcoming arms and fuck ass never ending "kinda maybe it's gonna rain", "fuck you, its raining", "when does it fucking stop sort of kind of raining", sort of rain, and other groups of poor people too! Groups like the philipino community, black people, white people, korean people.

I know, you guys in Chicano park who like taking the bus port la Imperial and then the trolley to imperial and twelve are not gonna believed this, but here there are poor white people! Just like you and me! So get over it and explore this country (don't come to Seattle). Also don't go to Louisiana, Texas or Florida specially in the coming years since those places are going to get pounded by el niño and la niña weather. Everywhere you go, find community, and build community. Be American, help others like you.

Prius C DIY battery, 5 year update

5 Years ago, I designed and built a 12V battery based on cells sold at battery hookup. It's been running every day since October 17 2021. The cells are 3.2V 600mAh. I have a battery balancer attached to the cells which very rarely illuminates. The arrangement is 9 in parallel, 4 Series so 4S9P. It works great in winter and summer, no issues at all. If you are planning on doing something like this, you can definitely do it on your Prius. I cannot say the same for other cars. I would not jumper other cars from a battery like this either. But anyway, screw lead acid batteries, they never last 2 years in Washington State weather. Here I have proven that LifePo4 can do 5 years without any issues. The battery looks like new on the outside and on the inside. It changes fine and the car has not stalled or left me anywhere stranded since. Original post a the other place before I was banned for whatever stupid reason. https://www.reddit.com/r/prius/comments/qacx7w/im_testing_my_32650_12v_lifepo4_battery_after/
