I'm trying to wrap my head around setting up GitHub in VSCode, and damn... the whole thing could not be more complex in a world where it seems like setting up anything on a computer is incredibly easy these days. What a pain.

For about seven years there’s been a young homeless guy outside the supermarket I go to. His line was always the same - “excuse me sir, do you have any spare change?” I’d occasionally hand him something from inside, since I never carry cash.
I’ll admit it often grated on me – he’d ask on the way in and again on the way out. I’d sometimes remind myself “there but for the grace of God go I,” but truthfully I was more irritated than compassionate most days. Not exactly proud of that.
Other people would sometimes stop to chat with him.
Today I went past and saw flowers and a note in the spot he always sat. He’d died, apparently after a short illness.
It hit me harder than expected – maybe guilt, maybe the sudden finality of it – but it lingers more than I would have thought.

Today I found there are two 'blog' threads on QBN.

I've been so irritated w/having to move to eastern side of the USA these last 4 years that I've basically made fun of everything around me and middle-fingered every 'historical' spot as I drive through 'old' New England.
For a while I've seemed to find issue w/every restaurant, store, roadway, public park etc etc... I've just been a little bitch all butthurt w/having to relocate that I've become cliché in my ability to find fault with everything.
I was informed the other night over a beer that this dopey little mountain near me (if you can call it a 'mountain') of which the peak isn't even 20km from my home as the crow flies, is actually the 2nd most climbed / hiked mountain ...on the PLANET (behind Mt Fuji).
I called 'bullshit' while laughing / snorting my hazy IPA all over myself. Dude pulled up all sorts of tourist crap / wikipedia stuff / news articles etc etc showing it to be 'true' (I still call bullshit but there's some truth to its popularity).
For the last four years I've referred to the mountain as Mt 'My Nads Knock' as it's called Mt 'Monadnock'. The word is overused to name every other business in the region (eg-'Monadnock Towing'.)... I was bored of the word / idea of this mountain 15 minutes after moving here.
I'm suddenly intrigued... turns out people like Emerson, Thoreau... even Lovecraft loved the place, frequented and wrote about it.
There's also a number of fun conspiracy documentaries and New England historical 'stuff' out there that's actually interesting enough that I'm contemplating calling it by its actual name and MAYBE even going and hiking some it's trails.

- So beautiful up there. I toured the monadnock paper factory there once. Amazing b&bs too.monospaced

I love coding with Grok.
I needed a tool that shows a chord every x seconds. It even made arrays of progressions like I-IV-V-I, and gives me random progressions so I never get a loop.I describe what I want and get this back. Awesome.

- Chords filter added. For example: show only Minor 7 or Major 7 chords. Maybe I'll add sus chords and more later.stewart

I took the biggest shit at 9AM this morning here at the office. When I flushed, the toilet paper went down, but the shit stayed up. It's now almost quitting time and the big turd is still there.Did they ever resolve this issue? these are the questions that keep me awake at night.

@Nairn; I think Mr Dobolina was kicked off QBN by JazX during the Llyod years or shortly after.

Either way, we're now at the age where the deaths of peers seeming shocking and unexpected, becomes, over time, a steadily increasing trickle that feels inevitable.
The 5th decade is known as sniper's alley by some. The idea being if you get through your 5th decade intact you're not suffering from anything pressing and could expect another 20 years or so.
I'm 55.
I either have 5 years or up to 25 years. Neither sounds great to me, but I'm still riding BMX and wondering what I'm going to do with my life.
Unless I am struck by a radical epiphany before death comes, I cannot think of a strong reason why I would try to resist its invitation. Life is good but we go when we go and there's no negotiation to be had.
I'm okay with the knowledge of my inevitable demise. It doesn't trouble me. It never has.

My wife, for next year, prefers a vacation close to home. Honestly, we have everything close by: a pool, the sea, the mountains, and incredible cuisine.
But I need to get out of my surroundings; a change of scenery, climate, people...
That's why I'm planning a week alone for my vacations next year. My car, my bike, and my sketchbooks.
I'll probably end up doing nothing, but just planning it is fun.
- And no, it's not that I need to be alone, I work alone, I eat alone, I ride my bike alone... it's just getting out of a space ;)OBBTKN

Culinary vibes ;)
Continuing with my "reborn fixation" with fruit, it's the season for plums, nectarines, peaches, and pears.
Between that and the surplus fruit from the garden, which my father and a friend give us from time to time, there's no way I can eat fat for my body!
- Just destroyed two peachesgrafician
- Natural sugar is still sugar - moderation is good!mort_
- Two pears a day ;)
And yes @mort, true that.OBBTKN - Sugar in fruit is not a problem. Juices, yes but not if you're eating the whole thing.MrT
- Almost time to go apple pickingPonyBoy
- You want to eat fat so it absorbs all those natural sugars. I think a peach has twice the daily limit. Diabetes is real.canoe
- you don't get diabetes from eating fruit. Added sugars and natural sugars are entirely different.MrT
