    I am again amazed that people were able to feed their kids lunch every day before frozen chicken nuggets were widely available.

    So 1st son was waiting for his tax refund to fly me from #SoCal to #KCMO for a couple of weeks, but 2nd son's taxes arrived first. Now that I'm here in #MO, I intend to stay.

    Since I'm rearranging my life, I'll be quitting $EMPLOYER pretty quickly. I had intended to wait until I have a replacement, but I think it is better to change everything at once and walk away now.

    #GS3: Who is your friend?

    Me: (Names a few people who all work at $EMPLOYER.)

    Me: I guess I'll soon if they're still friends when I quit.

    !SoCal storm has arrived. Plenty of rain in the #Inland_Empire. The pass was both foggy and rainy, with lots of big rigs splashing water onto windshields.

    My nephew jokes “while you’re gone, I am stealing your monitor”.

    As though it wasn’t the cheapest monitor that Amazon had at the time.

    While #USAGov hints toward #Rust and similar languages, #NASA uses rules to make #C and #CPP code safer and more reliable. https://youtu.be/GWYhtksrmhE

      I've been told the worst thing that can happen to a developer is their code crashes in production? Well.... what happens if that production environment is ou...

    There's more to do than there is time (and resources) to do it, so I'm figuring out what to leave undone.

    1. Hilary was not a tropical storm when it entered SoCal, yet it had the same impact, study shows
      from ABC7 Los Angeles
      Former Hurricane Hilary was actually no longer a tropical storm but essentially had the same impact when its destructive remnants entered California last August, a new report says.

    I voted. I know I'm usually not here, but I had no idea who most of the candidates were for any office on the ballot. I still remember when a guy running for office came to my little league game to talk to the parents.

    That wouldn't work if you're running for a higher office, but I didn't even know the people running for state assemblyperson. (This is a primary election, so most of the local government offices weren't on it. They'll be on November's ballot.)

    Reading these candidate information statements and thinking that there’s nothing here that makes me want to vote for any of them.

    I am filling out my ballot now.

    #sonTwo will be at work on 2024-04-08. Hopefully, his wife will take a day off. I would like to take grandkids to see the total solar eclipse (passing through SE #MO) ... the next time it happens in the lower 48 US states will be something like 20 years later.

    In particular, I think #GS3 will enjoy it. #GS4 seems to be more interested in ocean life (penguins, dolphins, orcas, seals, etc) than space.

    Reading about the Odysseus lander on the Moon, I'm glad I did not have time to inform #sonTwo about it. #GS3 loves space stuff, and would have been looking for video.

    YouTube commercial: $TOOL_STORE is the place for quality tools for auto repair.

    Me: I'm not a mechanic and even I know that $TOOL_STORE tools tend to be made for low price, not for durability.

    (The store's initials are HF.)

    #sonTwo says that #GS3 and #GS4 know Grandpa is coming. #GS5 does not know why he got kicked out of his room.

    #sonOne has not said whether #GS1, #GD1, #GD2 know I'm coming. I'm not expecting to see #GS2, as he lives some distance (2-3 hours drive time in each direction), on top of him being 25.

    I expressed that it would be great if #Daddy_A could visit during this time. It has been something like 20 years since all three of them were present at the same place and time.

    Western recalcitrance continues to harm the people of #Ukraine as #Russia is able to move forward with its offensive.

    1. Ukrainian troops pull back again as Russia's onslaught pushes ahead in eastern Ukraine
      from ABC News
      A Ukrainian army spokesman says Kyiv's troops have withdrawn from a village in the east of the country, as Russian forces make their advantages in manpower and ammunition tell on the battlefield at the start of the war’s third year

    Naturally, #DataCamp's courses only cover the parts that are relevant to "data science / data analysis", so it feels like there are some holes. But I had forgotten how much fun #Python could be, and I'm enjoying #R-lang also. (The courses themselves are often frustrating as can be, but the parts of the languages themselves that I'm exposed to are mostly okay.)

    Their continuing practice exercises seem to emphasize the smallest tripping factors, but I guess that will be useful if I'm ever paid to use these languages for data analysis.
