300 pennies!

The cell walls are the walls of the cells :p

Right? That’s exactly why I give my business automations names like SupaWubbaDubbaHappyTimeAuthyWauthyTeeHeeSecurityWorkflow.

Protons. As in protons, How many. On a weird logarithmic scale with 7 in the middle, of course.

Ooh, do Harry S. Truman vs Harry R. Truman next!

My partner has been learning Norwegian and some of the reactions from native speakers lean toward the red.

It’s not about difficulty (it’s one of the easier languages for English speakers), but moreso that they believe it’s pretty useless outside of Norway lol

Just tried it on Ubuntu LTS (as a flatpak) and my first impression wasn’t great.

The sign-in experience was nice with a QR code and verification code. But then the first thing on the video browse list was as ad, and the first video I played started with the same ad. There’s no icon you can click to go fullscreen, but I have a wireless keyboard and eventually figured out F11 is a shortcut (F and Enter do nothing). But then about 3 minutes into the video, the whole app window went gray. Nothing clickable, just 100% gray. I was able to exit fullscreen and close out the app, but it was pretty obviously a Ui crash of some sort.

This was just the first impression so I’ll keep it installed and see if it improves with updates. Or maybe try it on Deck or my Endeavor machine.

I picked this instance basically on a whim but I’ve been so happy with it. The policies generally seemed very reasonable and welcoming. I thought it was doing fine because Sunaurus would periodically say the financials were in good shape, but I didn’t realize the admins were struggling. This is a sad surprise :(

The dev thought “I know exactly what you meant, but I still insist you to do it my way”.

History is rife with stories about some King/General/Warlord demanding that his princely sons lead their battalions to capture some town and then re-join his larger army. It was common to send a scout or courier to go find the sons for an update, essentially asking “where are you?”. If a long siege or other poor conditions delayed one of the princes, then by the time he arrived to the meeting location the father could already be dead, or worse, extremely disappointed.

Ok but was it a true penguin, or a false penguin like all the extant species today?

I’m mildly allergic so yeah they will fuck me up.

If I’m in an enclosed space with one (e.g. car) I’ll start a sneezing fit. And I assume if I eat one my mouth will itch or swell (not even gonna attempt it).

My sister in law recently quipped that “Trees are a social construct” and at first I thought she was just being glib but now I can’t get that statement out of my head.

Huh. So they put it in one of those foil trays, like where people put hotdogs after grilling them. Seems a bit wasteful to only have one lonely log per tray. Oh well, TIL.

I know, my friends won’t stop taking about Corsica and Northern Ireland.

Any detector, even another particle: observes

Quantum particle: Quit pointing that things at me!!

Some fiction exists to inspire.

Like, we’re on a direct path to the Star Trek: TNG post-scarcity civilization, right? With food replicators and transporters and holodecks and so forth.

My city (US) used to have one that was signed all wrong, so cars already inside the circle would have to yield to the ones entering. Naturally this led to congestion instead of flowing traffic. Also it was way too close to a tangential road so that made things even worse because the backed up traffic on that side then affected cars that weren’t even going to the circle.

Fortunately they ripped that shit out and redesigned the entire intersection.

It’s from Sky News, so it checks out. They know what’s happening above us.
