Love Guadalupe River State #Park! People don't think of this when they think of #Texas...

They think of gun violence and ridiculous laws about women's health.

@freemo I think the measures I outlined above do take rights concerns into consideration, and I'm aware of at least a couple attempts to implement some - that immediately were treated as non-starters.

I agree with "getting into the heads of both sides", but I think political gridlock on this is solidly due to the industry lobbies. They should have some say, but it outweighs the desires of the many by quite a bit, and that's undemocratic at the least.

@freemo "ban guns" is so polarizing, as is "stop the mass shootings". I'd like to see several other moderate, broadly popular and acceptable, measures be put in place at the federal level.

Unfortunately those things can't get traction due to the gun lobby. And the next stop on the argument train is "ban some guns".

@freemo the discussion around "gun control" in this country is so disappointing to me. There are a number of things we could do that would reduce gun deaths (improve background checks in multiple ways, purchase cool-down periods, require safety measures, require training - maybe provide training in High School). All short of, "ban guns".

I try to avoid energy drinks - I drink plenty of black coffee. This Alani Nu "cosmic stardust" stuff though... It's great.

Exercise, dehydration, and lack of sleep were conspiring to make me feel unproductive this afternoon. Now I'm feeling fantastic, and having fun being productive and rocking out to some music.

We're watching you, heheheh

#BSides SATX posted some videos from last year - very appreciative of their work. Here's mine - a "why and how to setup a log4shell range in the cloud".

Me before today: #k3d and #k3s are basically the same.

Today: let's add an external node to this on demand so I can do big things!

Me today: dang, k3s and k3d are different in important ways 😥

New baby: asleep. 3 yr old: asleep. Wife: asleep. Dog: asleep. Cat: I mean, you know he's asleep, it's a sunny afternoon and he's a cat.

Time to get some groceries I guess 😆

Everybody clutching their pearls about the balloons will be really shocked when they learn about satellites.

@feld when I was young I let myself spend time modifying everything on my Linux desktop and I thought it was fun. I was learning a ton because I was new. At some point I kept modifying things but I wasn't learning much anymore. Then I got to a point where I felt like I was wasting time by having to modify things.

I got a MBP and the hardware and software were great! I didn't have to modify stuff! Which was good because mostly I couldn't.

Almost a decade later the performance was terrible. OS X outgrew my laptop (which was my daily driver). I went back to Debian Testing.

And I had lost the desire to modify things. Debian matured a little, yes, but I had also lost that habit of modifying everything. I just setup the basics and go and it is exactly what I need. Linux was what I needed and I wasn't wasting time.

I agree that OS X is a pretty great user experience though.
