I am who I am.

I always knew I’d most likely grow to live in a world without James Earl Jones but it’s still weird to be here. An undeniable cinematic legend whose presence and gravitas elevated everything he was a part of.

You may have heard the term “Project 2025” floating around, and you may even have cracked open the 900+ page document yourself, only to see a lot of kind of bland, policy-wonk text. So let me crack through the policy-speak and tell you WTF is in this document.

@BreakfastSoul It's a load of codswallop.

as early 2000s nu-metal band Staind would say: hyAND IT’s BEEN A WHILE

since we’ve promoted our podcast, so check out the latest episode on the beginnings of Book II of the Two Towers with almost no mention of dune at all

Tonight I got to see stuff in live action I've wanted to see since I read about it in middle school! It was very exciting!

[Joshua O'Connor @NavyPilot1046]

Of course as soon as I have time and energy to start measuring stuff for a big project my measuring tape that I've had for over a decade breaks.

It took a full year, but Nova finally seems to have noticed and care that squirrels are in our yard.

Last day of mandatory overtime: complete!
Back to normal scheduling next week!

Liftoff of Starship!

[Joshua O'Connor @NavyPilot1046]

Good news! The $15 part has fixed the refrigerator (for now)!! I did have to buy a $25 crimping tool because the wire connectors didn't fit, but it's cold again!

[Joshua O'Connor @NavyPilot1046]

My fridge died over the weekend and I think the problem is just a $15 part, BUT...

[Joshua O'Connor @NavyPilot1046]

-No store carries the part, so I had to order it online.
-While waiting for the part to arrive, I had to buy coolers to preserve my food, making this a $150 fix so far.
-If this part isn't the problem this becomes a $1500 fix to get a new fridge.

[Joshua O'Connor @NavyPilot1046]

Thankfully I still had the extra freezer the previous owner left behind, so while stuff did thaw briefly I was able to refreeze it quickly. Gonna be careful with that food, though.

Power level to strong for the ball

[Joshua O'Connor @NavyPilot1046]

Walked in to find my brothers polishing the silverware, was reminded of a cool gif I saw online a couple years ago. Looked it up and the process was super easy (hot water and baking soda) and in a couple minutes set up the same thing on our table and it worked surprisingly well!

[Joshua O'Connor @NavyPilot1046]

@chapterchumps After you finish your reading!

[Joshua O'Connor @NavyPilot1046]

Throwing out everything and the kitchen sink.

I've been doing SO MUCH WRITING this week, for a bunch of different things, all unrelated to work.
Over three different word documents, all created since Sunday, I've written 48 pages, or over 18,000 words.
Thankfully at two of those are nearly done.
