So, figure since it's a new year, should take a new photo of m'self. I don't think the glasses are a new sight, I've had them for a bit now, but look, hair!

Yeah,I've been bald by choice because hair requires too much effort to maintain frankly. Goatee isn't going anywhere, but it won't be joined by anything, nothing else feels right.

Ugh, ADHD day or something


Ugh, keeping bouncing from one thing to another. This weekend I need to get the usual stuff done, grocery shopping, clean kitchen, do laundry, and that's about it, but so far I've killed 3 hours online, not because I'm doom scrolling or something, but because I keep jumping to one thing to another, rather than zipping through a relatively quiet internet.

Going to be one of those days, isn't it?

"Microsoft and Google keep the energy consumption of their Dutch data centers secret, despite European reporting obligations. The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland, RVO) received blank forms or no data at all. The Dutch newspaper NRC reports that the government has no legal means to request the actual figures."

I never say this, but you want to watch this commercial, and I suggest you be somewhere that you can cry a bit without anybody caring. (Damn ninjas cutting onions somewhere in the house…)

Tesla revamped Semi spotted, insane 1.2 MW charging video releases


I doubt it'll hit this frequently, but I gotta admit to being impressed, I still don't think electric semi's are really going to work, at least for long haul work, but this is impressive and a step towards it.

Would be great if any standard truck cab could bolt onto the chassis.

But an ignorant billionaire dictated the absurd design

@diana πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈπŸ¦‹ I hear there is some good about it, but yeah, usual Tesla BS, but its not like they're the only show out there, Freightliner has been electrifying, and I don't think they're the only one.

This is my tradition to share this every year, the only New Year's song I know, though I can't imagine one better than this.

And now its 2026


And I expect it'll be a better one, I'll prolly jinx m'self if'n I claim it can't get worse, but after a year where my husband died less than a month after my birthday, and two or so months later the room mate had to put his cat down, the cat we took care of because she didn't like him..

Yeah, its been a hell of a year. Its not that there can't be other losses, there will be at some point in the future, but with older family members, its sorta expected that you'll outlive them, that's just life, but when they're only 5 or so years older? Yeah, I was starting to rough out plans for our retirement, with an expectation of at least another decade together, hopefully two.

So what's the plan this year?

As someone wisely said, do I look like I have a plan?
Ok, seriously, not much, clear this place out, fix it up (anyone know a good contractor in #stl ?) a little bit, and downsize, the latter likely resulting in me moving out of state, because Republican states suck, but not sure where I'm going, likely Illinois, but Maryland and Pennsylvania are also possibles. First step of clearing this place out was done yesterday, rented two tables at the Sunset Hills community center for the first three flea markets, March, April and May, and while I'll still be selling stuff before that, that'll be when I really get things going.

Speaking of selling, anyone need any clothing?

Any how, that's about all, other than maybe building an electric kei van, finally found an engine small enough. Yes, small enough, there's something you never here with an engine swap.

And now, onwards with #today , grocery shopping and... Pack a few more things up for shipping.

Sounds like your year was like mine. I'm struggling a bit with the cleaning out the house chore. Seems I balk when it comes to getting rid of my wife's clothes.
