So disappointed - As I scrolled down and saw the title I expected a special chutney or jam:(













Alight folks. I've had enough. It's time to take a social network break until the US election mess passes, whatever that looks like.

Yes, I know it's important, but I need to take care of my mental health. I can tell the constant stream of news, etc., is taking its toll on me and I need out. (It also won't change how I vote.)

Feel free to contact me on XMPP ( tk@msg.kawa-kun.com ) if you need to reach me. 👋





At the moment, my #cycljng is mainly limited by my cardiovascular system and energy. All of that time sick from respiratory illness was not kind to my fitness. :'(

You know I'm getting serious when working on something in the physical world because I take my glasses off. This is because pretty much the same reasond why many people get contact lenses, plus I get sweaty when working. :(

Why don't I wear contacts? It's because I need prism for my misaligned eyes that contacts can't fix. :'(

I'm lucky enough that I can still mostly see my screen without my glasses though each day that gets a little more difficult. My contacts are strictly for outdoor activities.


Kind of wild how video cards are this big again, or even bigger! :P (Source)




Just realized that 知らん振り is short for 知らない振り. :P


Remember back when the state asked voters:

  • If they wanted a new viaduct to replace the old Alaskan Way Viaduct or not.
  • If they wanted a tunnel to replace the old Alaskan Way Viaduct or not.

And when both were voted down, they were all "Tunnel it is!" >:(

45-car pileup on southbound I-5 closes freeway for hours in Kent

Up to 45 cars were involved in a multi-car crash around 1:20 p.m., forcing the closure of southbound I-5 in Kent.

The Washington State Patrol (WSP) closed all southbound lanes to allow first responders and tow trucks to reach the crash site.

Trooper Rick Johnson with WSP said that there were only minor injuries.

Traffic was being diverted to SR 516 until all the cars could be taken off the road.

Several first responders and agencies answered the call including officials with the Washington State Patrol, Washington State Department of Transportation, local fire and paramedics.

The backup reached 5 miles, officials with WSP and WSDOT said.

The road was reopened at 4:15 p.m. but it is taking some time to clear the backup.

During the closure, people were told to plan for added travel time and seek alternative routes.

Real-time traffic information is available on the WSDOT mobile app and the Travel Center Map, or by signing up for email updates.

WSP is investigating the cause as a single crash.
