    Make sure you put brass spacers between the motherboard and the box frame. When I built my first computer, I neglected to do so and the board instantly fried when I applied power. Blew a lot of the traces clear off.

    You won't have any legal representation except for an overworked law student who simply tells you what you're charged with and how to plead guilty to everything in the correct manner. Then you get sent to New York State's notorious prison system. Guys like you get killed in a few weeks time. New...

    New York City law enforcement is the toughest, most sociopathic cops in the country. They'll pound your head into the concrete until it cracks open and your brain falls out. And then there's Rikers Island, easily the worst municipal jail in the US.

    Turns out that the generator started right up. By midday the smoke had thinned enough so that there was no problem.

    I hope the smoke doesn't activate the carbon monoxide shutoff circuitry in my generator. Generators can be hard to start in smoke due to companies trying to head off lawsuits by stupid people insisting on running them indoors.

    There is a huge wildfire in the far southwestern part of Siskiyou County, in mainly unpopulated forestlands. There is 20mph wind blowing the smoke towards Yreka and well beyond. I had my window open all night without knowing about the smoke. I woke up sick.

    Politicians seem to think that having the cops chase homeless people around the cities accomplishes something. It just makes it that much harder for the homeless to get jobs and stability.

    I do errands early to avoid people. I'm not really homeless but I don't like people, and I get to live where there are few people and no cops. Around here if you own your land and aren't growing weed and you keep your nose to yourself you are left alone.

    My genetics have betrayed me.

    I started to go bald at age 45 or so. Early male baldness isn't evident on either my mom's or dad's side. My dad died at 69 with a full head of white hair. My mom has no hair loss. Her father is the only one who went bald but he was very old and sick by then. I'm at the age where the internet...

    TikTok is far worse-filled with moronic microtrends in stuff like fashion interspersed with anorexia promotion and the occasional "challenge" designed to get kids killed.

    The acorns are still green but coming along. I'll go back out to where the oak trees are in two weeks and check them again.

    Problems with hoarding

    Ultimately, I found that the med I take for my OCD also stopped the hoarding. Compulsive hoarding is a really odd syndrome, with some people it's related to a larger diagnosis of OCD and sometimes ADHD, and meds help. As noted, some people have trouble moving on from a traumatic event or the...

    In Nazi Germany the disabled were considered "work averse" and at Dachau the developmentally disabled wore a black triangle labeled "blod" ("stupid"). In the camps the Aryan developmentally disabled were treated a little better than some other inmates, and were kept away from the bottom barrel...
