During the worst of COVID, I spent time getting random certifications in an effort to kill time by learning new skills. Being in Houston shortly after Hurricane Harvey, I decided to get a ham radio license in case I ever need to connect with someone and the phone networks go down - as they seem to be doing a lot lately. It’s not something I do often but every once in a while I’ll check on the local repeaters.
This is the first character study doc that I’m legitimately worried I’m not mentally prepared to watch. Pee-wee was such a big part of my childhood, as he was for a lot of weird kids. Not sure I can handle seeing him as a tortured artist who was pushed back into the closet.
God, I love Nathan Fielder.

A six episode order isn’t screaming confidence in the new version
I’m concerned about my mental health based solely on the amount of Tony Robbins web ads target me each day.
I can’t imagine what it’s like to be a college student (or professor) right now

First week at the new job is now done 🙏 For those just tuning in, I work in tech and unfortunately got caught up in a “reduction in force” and was laid (lain?) off. I take some solace in the fact it had nothing to do with me but unfortunately this job market is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before - it was dreadful. Some “fun” facts and stats regarding my job search:
Amazing gift from my wife.
Starting a new job that I’m really excited about on Monday. After having been unemployed and employed, I can confidently say I prefer the latter.
Not certain Joann has a firm grip on supply and demand. I guess that should have been obvious as the store is closing…
Most days I can barely remember what I had for breakfast but damned if I will always remember that the plural is AttorneyS General.
I’ve tried for years to get Obsidian to work for me. People swear by it but I’m clearly missing something. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
A little quiet here as I interview for new roles in the most FUN (/s) job market since 2008!
I’m thinking I can see a faint light at the end of this tunnel! 🤞
What is a great discord server that people should know about?
I’m never going to judge someone for not having technical skills but the frontline AT&T Internet sales associate loses credibility when they keep telling me how many megapixels each plan includes.
Was there only one guy in the code over there?
Developer convicted for “kill switch” code activated upon his termination
Wow, how does a mess-up like this possibly happen? It should go without saying that I wouldn’t trust this company’s data storing policies.
One of the best explainers I’ve ever heard about how insanely difficult it will be to go to Mars.
Apparently it’s harder than wearing an ‘Occupy Mars’ t-shirt….
