I'm going to watch a local bike race tonight, because it only runs through August. When races start it is going to be 103.6°F
I am confused about this event's scheduling. Is it due to some logistical constraint? Do racers stop doing weeknight races in the "fall"? Or is this actually on purpose?
In any case, I don't really want to drive the 30-40 minutes to the location or stand around in the heat -- yet alone do anything more than stand around! -- but I really need to check it out for reasons.
I just looked at the schedule and am more confident that it's a daylight issue, and that's starting at 5:30 and only running four races. I'm going to time it to catch the second two. My cycling 9-year-old is now going to go with and he's psyched! He's never seen a race in real life before.
It's because of daylight. Sun was setting as the last race was finishing, and it's a rider safety issue, and there are no lights at the park, which also means the park also likely technically closes then. It's just unfortunate that it's still 100°F until after sunset here right now.
It was still fun to watch. There just aren't many bike races anymore. Based on my preliminary research it appears to be yet another victim of car culture.
I lose some sales and my boss won't be happy
But I can't stop listening to the sound
Of two soft voices blended in perfection
From the reels of this record that I found
Every day, there's a boy in the mirror
Asking me what are you doing here
Finding all my previous motives
Growing increasingly unclear
He was climbing up the back of my office chair, claws reaching through into my back. So I switched to standing desk position. 🙄 #catsofmastodon
Hey Lazyweb, I'm about to have to start pumping out words related to my upcoming venture. Some will be internet in scope, some will be specific to goings-on in DFW. Substack seems to be all the rage right now but I'm wary. Previous ventures used Convertkit, and it's just ok. I'd like to have more control over the content (i.e. on my own domain) without having to copy-paste it everywhere. What are my options?
I just today learned about the HTMLElement: dataset property. In my defense, I haven't written much JS in years, and have been almost exclusively in Ruby land for almost 2 years.

So. JS-bloated web pages have crashed my computer 3 times now. (I'm back on my small but plenty beefy Ubuntu desktop now.)
1. Notion running in Firefox
2. Notion running in Brave
I believe both of these were while trying to edit a metadata value on a page.
3. ADPList, just loading a page
I guess I will start by googling why it is crashing my entire computer and not just the browser(s). Both are installed through the snap store, so in theory are sandboxed (or whatever?)
I set Brave to not use GPU. I checked memory usage, which is mostly fine (have 16GB). Brave crashed again, and all non-Gnome apps crashed with it, but it did not kernel panic the entire OS. /cc @starbreaker @mcg
