Beginning to think that the Information Security profession needs to start seriously advocating that everyone invest in some form of secure, recoverable password keeping in case of death or disability. (1/3)
At one time, everybody owned a horse and only rich people had cars. Today, everybody owns a car and only rich people have horses. The stables have turned.
@troublewithwords birds are lizard hipped (saurischian) dinosaurs, despite the fact that bird hipped dinosaurs (ornithischian) dinosaurs exist; crocodiles belong to the "false crocodiles" (pseudosuchia); arguably the most iconic spiders, tarantulas, do not belong to the "true spiders"; Zebra Sharks have leopard spots, and somehow their specific name is "tigrinis"...
scientists in all fields just can't be trusted with words, honestly.
"TV should brain wash us not read our minds" sure is a take.
(I actually like a lot of shows. 🙃)
Holy fuck bud did one of yous leave the fuckin gates of hell open or something?
Ok, new peeve about hot days... when I make a mistake with the dishes and the apartment stinks and I have to decide between foul air and hot air.
The scaffolding down and Andy Council is now standing in front of what he's painted on our back wall! My office is the room with the window open.

@ng similar thing with almonds in Andalusia. They flowered in Feb due to the temperature, then got frozen when the frosts came back => no almonds that year.
Happened every now and then, then most years, then every year (by the early 2010s)

@pvonhellermannn chestnuts and blackberries used to ripen in September in Basque country (900km south from your location) still in the 1990s. In the last years it was rather early August. This year there will be no blackberry, all have dried in June.
Being able to run your shoes through the clothes washer is one of the best innovations of this century.
Best thing about Highlander movies / series that I didn't know until this week...
It started out as some dude's university thesis.

Lodi State Office Staff On Edge After Legionella Shows Up In Icemaker

For the past few years, I’ve been working on a Hebrew font based on my handwriting. Partly this is because my handwritten Hebrew is 100% straight lines, but also because I have not had a lot of luck finding a Hebrew font that is actually legible for me at reasonable font sizes. Nikudimot are a particular problem, but unfortunately not one I can resolve.
That font, Amefist, is now available on my website.
EDIT: Apologies for not doing this in the first place; the Hebrew here is a nonbinary version of Modeh Ani. Hebrew:
מוֹדֶת אַנִי לְפָנֶיךָ
רוּחַ חַי וְקַיָּם
שֶׁהֶחֱזַרְתָּ בִּי נִשְׁמָתִי מְּחֶמְלָה\
רַבָּה אֱמוּנָתֶֽךָ
English Translation:
I give thanks to You,
O everlasting Spirit,
for you have renewed my soul with mercy.
Great is your faithfulness.
i wonder if anyone reading this is a sailing type that would answer a stupid question? i'm not a boat/ship person, but it looks as i need to buy some line and a couple of pulley blocks. a chandlery seems the best place to do that.
this is going to sound weird, but i want it to get stuff in and out of the attic. i can't carry boxes up a ladder any more; i'm getting old.
so, i bought a vehicle cargo net, some washing line, and a couple of shitty pulleys. it works! two pulley system makes it a doddle to lift a box, and beam in attic shows no signs of strain lifting ~30kg.
but it's all a bit crap. it jams, the cables foul. clearly i need better pulleys, at least.
any suggestions on how i stop the line fouling all the time? any ideas?
i'm thinking proper line would help. what do i need?
The people you see every day, the standards they accept, the problems they choose, the feedback they give, the opportunities that float by, the conversations that happen on the train or in the college corridor all of that slowly sculpts your hands, your eye, your ambition, your relationships,and the kind of life that feels “normal.”
Your daily affirmation:
Change is inevitable. Tacos are not exactly inevitable, but maybe they should be.
