We hauled up the ACs today, and I installed two out of three of them before running out of duct tape. (Yeah, that’s how I roll.) The next five days are ~90°F, so I’m getting in the game!Comments
This time, carrying the huge one up was way easier because we figured out the amazing trick of rotating it 90° so that it’s more compact horizontally.
Every once in a while, I think about my Evanston condo and how relieved I am that I don’t have to deal with the cruelly intermittent stream of problems that came from it. But one nice thing about it was that it had central AC, which I’ll probably never see in an attainable home in Massachusetts. -
Two sets of 8 deadlifts, again just barely gotten in before I had to leave for pickups. I did get a bug fixed in exchange for pushing out my workout time, though.Comments

I have never heard of Blue Gene Tyranny. I really like his synth work. Even though he preceded it by thirty years or so, it reminds me of dungeon synth.Comments

..................................::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: <- That's the name of the new Hathenter album. The song names are also that good. I'm only halfway through the first song, but it is also good. It's like Behold the Arctopus (their other band), except less in-your-face and looser.Comments

Welp, the tape deck in that gigantic old stereo that I lugged home a while ago doesn't work. It'll be a full two weeks since my vaccination tomorrow. Maybe I can find something in Goodwill.Comments

37-minute run. I went by the brook instead doing the hills run. Why? I guess I thought I should get a break? Maybe because I was pissed at spending more of my life on CORS. 12 pull-ups.Comments

I walked by some construction guy who was quitting. Another guy was saying, “You signed a contract. We sent it right to ya. You gotta talk to a lawyer.”Comments
The quitting guy replied, “I don’t care. I’m not coming back tomorrow.”
I don’t know the full story here, so the quitting guy could be in the wrong, but it’s always great to hear someone just say, no, actually, I don’t have to do this. -

In case you happened to think all was good with covid: The emergence of more virulent variants of the virus in countries like Brazil and India and the slowness of vaccination efforts in many places outside the West have contributed to deadly new waves.Comments
The column goes on to cite surges on every continent. If the vaccination rate stays this slow in the rest of the world, the development a vaccine-resistant variant is a real possibility. Then, what we’re experiencing now will be a respite, not the end of the pandemic. - Comments

20 burpees, 14 pull-ups barely squeezed in before I had to leave for pickup.Comments

Ergodicity, what's it meanComments
What we're seeing is that even though the expected value is positive, and the ensemble average is increasing, the time average for any single person is usually decreasing. The average of the entire "system" increases, but that doesn't mean that the average of a single unit is increasing. Large outliers skew the average, but the majority of people are losing.

Dag, I spent twenty minutes cutting up a pineapple, then Katt came back and reminded me we have a pineapple slicer.Comments

I made some changes to a programmatic piece I'm working on a few weeks ago which work well overall, but they also make it 16 hours long.Comments

Five-mile run, 13 pull-ups. Optimal running weather, which I’ll look back on fondly in the summer when I’m sweating a gallon per mile.Comments
