> Tesla is no longer the world's largest EV producer... Chinese automaker BYD... sold 638,157 electric or plug-in hybrid passenger vehicles in the first six months of 2022... [while] Tesla, on the other hand, delivered a total of 564,743 vehicles.

attempt to connect to printers: "Connection attempt was successful!"

still says printer status is disconnected.

fuck off.

"i had a hard day"

just updated my tut install. looks like all the bugs i was annoyed by (like not being able to compose posts) have disappeared. nice.

the terminal-ification of my life continues.

I can't decide if using variables in my templates for my personal website is overkill or not.

config.title will always be FIGBERT. Should I just write FIGBERT instead of {{ config.title }}?

Hmmmm...

just used a keygen for the first time.
