So shameful how quickly Ukraine shared their anti drone tech. We should should be embarrassed as a country and don't deserve them as an ally.

YouTube has been really slow the last few days. Slow to populate thumbnails slow to start videos. Wonder if there are conflicts with custom DNS?

At least the WSJ comment section aren't impressed by Trump's war with Iran.

Under threat, Iraqi Kurds resist pressure to join Iran war "The Kurds must not be the tip of the spear in this conflict," an Iraqi Kurdish official told Axios.

Saw some people driving on the highway be like "I am pulling over so that I don't drive into that tornado a mile ahead." And others who were completely oblivious despite the electrical sparks, pouring rain and hail, and extreme winds.

Watched the weather coverage all night last night. Pretty active. And another deadly tornado. It's the beginning of March and feels a little early for me.

Just terrible news today. Trump needs to just focus on his ballroom the rest of his term. Just introducing a world of hurt for everyone.

Been going through a rough few weeks of flare symptoms one of which includes an inability to sleep. It takes a couple of weeks but it's taking a toll now.

Happy for Trump to take Mullin from the senate. It'll be another republican but maybe not such a Trumpy bitch.

Saying we're not doing regime change and then weighing in with assassination threats for any emerging leader is a bit of doublespeak.

Texas race still close. Moderates ahead in both primaries.

Trump shows a lack of imagination in envisioning the worst case in Iran. It's not a status quo; it's a destabilized Middle East with large players like Turkey, Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan involved. The IRGC stays involved and kills hundreds of thousands of their own people.

You go to Congress to share the blame not just to get approval.

If you run something in the background, and it then stops constantly to ask for approval: 1. you don't have the context to approve the request (especially for write operations), 2. it doesn't seem to use the previously approved list of commands in settings.json. 3. the agent isn't really background.

I use Claude Code for personal use with the Pro plan. For work, I have Copilot and Codex. I haven't used Codex in awhile, but Copilot, at least in VS Code chat, keeps changing its default behavior (now preferring background agents) or ignoring command approvals.

The Kurds should know better than to deal with the US. The US has betrayed them over and over, most recently in Syria.

Ok, did some paint correction on the WRX and she looks great. Got rid of the haze on the driver's side rear door panel and she looks slippery now. Good lord, my back is on fire. Thank goodness for the wife. Much tougher than me.

I really with the US and Iran weren't hostile. I feel that it's completely the US's fault.

I don't know why we would want a fractured Iran. Afghanistan and Pakistan are already at war. Iran already considers its eastern regions ungovernable. Do we want more Islamist movements or less? And what do we get out of any of it? Iran is about as neutered as can be. We don't need their oil.

So sick of them politicizing everything. Anthropic is not radical anything nor do I think it has a political agenda. Companies are not their CEOs.

Brother in Law came over yesterday. We got a hand me down patio table, a custom install of garage overhead lighting, and a little help with getting the new suspension installed on my Subie. What a lovely day.
