Awesome! Glad you’re aware. It’s slowly taking over my neighborhood and I have a young puppy who loves to chew now so I’ve been overly vigilant.

Careful, that looks like Siberian Squill, somewhat toxic to animals and fairly invasive.

For the longest time I thought pressure-treated wood meant it was treated with pressure. Only just crossed my mind that it means they use pressure to get the treatment chemicals further in the wood.

Annoyingly, some of the censorship is baked into the model, it still won’t answer all question about china.

I can’t explain why but I find this really house of leaves coded

Lmao yes technically correct. The grapes aren’t doing anything new, they’re acting as a microwave resonator which makes some very interesting plasma physics you can do with a grape in the microwave. However, this is not a new phenomenon and there are much more convenient microwave resonators you can build out of metal.

Enjoy your stable systems while you can! Learning comes through solving problems as they come up. It’s a good sign if you don’t have to.

Need some new functionality? Figure out how to set it up. Encounter a bug or issue? Troubleshoot and fix it. Functionality that you want doesn’t exist? Time to program it yourself.

You can also start customizing (ricing) your system as you wish. Take a look at unixporn style communities for inspiration and advice.

that’s not how addition works

I can’t say I’m ever particularly aware of my gender when I’m dreaming

Fun thing is that in Montreal, ‘North’ is refereed to as the direction where streets go away from the river, which ends up being the WNW, further from north than “East”.

Ah of course, the bog blog log

maaaan I really wanted the Maryland flag to be official, but it was made by someone on /r/vexillology

I’ve got a print of this beauty framed, hanging on my wall.

As a visual learner I prefer the Finnster standard reference sample

English also has cases, we just don’t think of them much. It’s why pronouns are typically given as nominative/objective pairs: she/her, they/them, etc. So, similarly in German you’d probably only need to give one or two examples to make it clear which set to use. Or give all four.

ah nice, ads disguised as memes

Title now shows as “In 8 years, Stardew Valley never lost sight of its core philosophy” for me.

+1 For KeepassXC, I use it in combination with syncthing to have my passwords available on all devices.

I’m always amazed about the lack of conversation around nationalizing telecom. We have sasktel as a great example of how it can work, and hydroquebec as a great historical representation of the benefits of publicizing infrastructure. Seems about time to start recognizing internet as a necessary utility that the government directly provides to the people.

Actually we both screwed up by a factor of 1000, the article states 190 becquerels of tritium per litre, not cubic meter.

Seems like you have the right order of magnitude, but the sources I’ve seen gives the ocean close to 0.5-2 TU, or “Tritium Units” which correspond to 180 Bq/m^3. So I wouldn’t call the water being released as cleaner, just basically on average with the ocean already.
