I love it when code works one day, then decides to not work the following day when I hop back online.

fact: before clocks became widespread, each town had one guy who owned 24 dogs and fed one of them each hour.

that way everyone would know exactly what time it was.

What time is it? Oh, it's Captain Snuffles o'clock, they'd say

which was weird considering they didn't know what clocks were

I couldn't agree more.

Unfortunately this is also one of the biggest issues with the "Just put Linux on it" movement. It's great for power users and nerds, but the wild variation of Linux distributions makes troubleshooting for non power users very hard.

That’s some HP-level engineering right there.

I may or may not have gotten into the Halloween candy destined for trick-or-treaters. When you think about it, though, I’m preventing children from getting cavities. It’s an altruistic action. That’s what I’m telling myself as I open another packet of Trolli Crawlers.

Something whimsical was lost when we stopped making signs like this.

I unironically love getting notifications from the library that a book I put on hold months ago (and subsequently forgot about) is ready for pickup. It's like a gift from my past self!

Your post pushed me over the line toward purchasing an e-bike. I was already considering one but couldn’t quite convince myself to spend the money. I do miss the feeling I got from my Honda PCX, though, and I’m looking forward to chasing that feeling again!

Interesting, I just got an unprompted email requesting that I reset my MLB.com account "to keep [my] account secure." It's not an issue of password strength/reuse, and they haven't previously had a policy of timed password expiry. The email is legit.

Security incident?

Butterflies weren’t the only ones enjoying the butterfly garden at the Dillon Nature Center today; there were also lots of Common Eastern Bumble Bees! The number of pollinators we saw doing their thing was simply delightful.

Monarch butterflies were everywhere in Hutchinson, Kansas this weekend! We visited the Dillon Nature Center earlier today and were delighted at how many we saw enjoying the butterfly garden.

A yellow-shouldered drone fly, named because it resembles a honeybee drone, is landed on a beautiful pink flower and is busily pollinating it. Pink flowers just like it dot the background throughout.

I saw this little fella at the Hutchinson Zoo yesterday. A yellow-shouldered drone fly was busily pollinating this Lindheimer’s beeblossom.

I just found a tandem bike on Craigslist.

I am about to purchase said tandem bike on Craigslist.

My wife and I are going to look so dorky on our tandem bike and I CANNOT WAIT.
