"Fitter and firmer in four minutes a day" is what happens when copy editors fall in love with alliteration.

Not that anyone cares, but I am at @mfratto.bsky.social. No politics. No outrage. No social commentary. Just music, tech, astronomy, and whatever else piques my and your interest.

First cover leaf rolls of the year. It's a Parker House dough recipe shaped into balls and mushed together. Buttery goodness. Happy New Year!

Just watched Gudetama on Netflix. Weirdest thing I have seen in awhile.
Also, because we watched Midnight Diner and Amazing Attorney Woo, all of our suggestions are Asian TV. All of them.

Expect freezing temps later this week. Locate your water shutoff valve and know how to use it, seal drafty spaces to keep cold air out, insulate exposed pipes/water heaters and turn off all outside facets. More tips at austintexas.gov/department/c…

What I find *really* disturbing about the Twitter fiasco are the people, casuals, press, influencers, using language usually reserved for government actions. Twitter is not a hegemony.

Der @VerizonSupport @VerizonFios, just a note commending the technician in Syracuse, NY, that came out to replace a down line from yesterday. Showed up early. Friendly. Worked quickly. Cleaned up the pole. Excellent job.
1st outage in 15 years of being a Fios customer.

If you're simultaneously in the "private business can do what they want" and "er ma gerd, a private business banned people and the government should do something" then you should rethink both positions. What do you want?

We should be thankful Squirrels aren't motivated by anything other than food.
After years of successfully using baffles to keep them out of feeders, one discovered the snow on the baffle gave it enough grip to climb up. Then it made a 6ft leap to a tiny post to get the nuts.

I know Amazon has a method, but this big box (banana for scale) for this little back scratcher makes my eye twitch.

So let me get this straight.*
Doing good is a lefty thing and that's bad because it's lefty.
Being an engineer means you're an asshole and that's good because you're an engineer and have an excuse.
That right?
What a guy.
