Just wandered in here to see what's happening. I like stuff. #Igo #scifi #F1 #cplusplus #psychrock #wilderness #mopar #history #sailing #dumbjokes
1. Wake up at 7am to the sound of a northern flicker drumming on the metal flashing on the roof
2. Go outside and chase the bird away
3. Wait until it starts drumming on a neighbour's house
4. Drum even louder on an aluminum ladder using fists and/or or a stick
5. Repeat from step 3 until (a) the bird goes away for good, or (b) neighbours form an angry mob.
This thing about 432 Hz is ridiculous and I can't believe people are still talking about it in 2018.
Everyone should know by now that the true frequency of the universe, which can unify the properties of time, space, gravity, spiced rum, magnetism and infinity with biology, the DNA code, and consciousness, is 427 Hz.
So today I have it parked at a different angle. Now the bird is stuck in a loop where it attacks the car only briefly, then gives up and flies to a nearby tree. Then it instantly sees its own reflection in the driver side window and attacks the car again. That's both sides of my car now covered in birdshit.
It doesn't seem capable of breaking the windsheild, but it's probably stressful for the bird and my car is covered in birdshit now.
There is a little bird, a femal cardinal to be specific, that attacks my car every morning. It sees its own reflection in the glass.

Here's a thing I made, if any TamperMonkey users have a use for it. https://openuserjs.org/scripts/jsd/Unfix_Everything
Changelog-driven development:
1. Write a changelog you aim.
2. Translate the changelog into a set of tests.
3. Write/modify the code so until it satisfies the tests.
This year's #formula1 cars do look a bit awkward with the halo, but then again they haven't looked like proper race cars since the 1960's according to my father.
I have repaired my old #PS3 by aiming a 1200-Watt heat gun at the biggest chips on the main board until little wisps of smoke came out.
"Reflowing" they call it, but it feels like the hardware equivalent of bloodletting with leeches, letting just a little of the magic smoke out. The balance of computing humours has been restored.
