We do a biweekly social time with our team on Friday morning, today the question was "what would you do if you won $100 million...
Everyone seemed taken aback when my answer was "you'd never see me or hear from me ever again" lol

From Sept - Nov I currently have 5 shows lined up, a bunch of bands I love and have seen a bunch and some bands I love and haven't seen (or at least in a while). A couple in Columbus or Pittsburgh I could potentially make it to as well...been a minute due to all these Ohio festivals

My oldest is roaming around The Netherlands with his buddy right now and I have to work :(

Had a tech out Friday, had one out last night. Every line and bit of hardware has been replaced or upgraded, might just call multiple times a day and waste their fucking time
My favorite part of the United State's robust anti-trust laws is that cable companies are completely exempt from competing with each other, so if I don't like my service, I can go fuck myself...
Someone casually referred to me as "jacked" the other day and it went straight to my head lol

@stevegrunwell@phpc.social nice! I imagine Pink Pony Club would kill at an open mic

@stevegrunwell@phpc.social very nice, what's your favorite style of music to play
November concert platter already filling up nicely: The Acacia Strain, Chelsea Grin, Whitechapel, Spite, Vomit Forth
Also when your behavior says "ethics aside" your mouth/keyboard doesn't have to, hope it helps!
Congrats to everyone using plagiarized materials and destroying the planet ethically, or whatever other lie you convinced yourself was true.
Yep you are doing right lol
My son's first Wrigley Field experience was an ultimate success! 11-2 win, 6 run first inning, and we got to sing!
I benched 300lbs (136kg) for the first time ever yesterday. It's one of those "relatively few people on the planet can do this" type of achievements and I'm really proud of myself.
I started going to the gym consistently a year ago, my bench press went from 185lbs to 300lbs in that span. Life's been hard the last few years, but achieving the weight goal and the consistency needed to achieve it helps me feel less lost...
I have a genuine appreciation for people who strive to be helpful, who are motivated by being helpful

@ralphschindler@phpc.social when you only have 9, no ejection is worthy lol
At a baseball tournament in Sandusky and my son's team only has 9 players (injuries and stuff), so it makes sense in the 5th inning of game 2 our catcher would get himself thrown out and automatically suspended for game 3 lol

Despite the findings of the scienticians, seeing my coworkers faces on Zoom is not something I need...

@bobmagicii@phpc.social i went to the bookstore last evening with my wife (who reads a lot) and it's just so overwhelming. I wish I had been an avid reader before and had a stack to go through. I'm 60 or so pages into a book that is basically just murder, gore, and fucking and it's been good despite not really getting into any of those things yet...
I have to figure out what I want to read that isn't a manual or programming documentation lol
In the spirit of continuous self improvement, I'm going to try reading for pleasure/enjoyment instead of staring at this glowing rectangle and getting mad all the time.
I actually started a book this morning too :)
Leg sleeve is coming along, but a 6 hour knee session isn't the most fun to sit through

@ian@phpc.social If someone told you the sky was red, you'd just move along. But someone says that a widely used programming language is dead despite facts to the contrary, and it requires dozens of "nuh-uh" blog posts and social media posts.
This easiest explanation is that it's rage bait and it's worked for 20 years with very few changes. Again, I been away since like 2019, but it's really weird that it continues to generate any attention at all...
It's really goofy...idk
What if I told you that the people responsible for genocide, the people responsible for decimating communities with data centers, and the people responsible for the explosion of fascism all said that "PHP is dead"

@Girgias@phpc.social I mean I said what I meant to say, glad for the confirmation that it's still gross here
If we have the same 5 white guys speak at every conference it'll make the conference so good that a more diverse group of people will be interested in speaking...

"I turn groundwater into poison in other people's communities so I can generate code I'm capable of writing myself"
Weird watching tech ppl be like ewww fascism over a VPN, and in the same breath deliver wheelbarrows of money to fascist tech billionaires to code for them lol
It's good to fix the one problem, don't get me wrong. But it doesn't seem like the main problem lol
