For those curious, this pattern only continues once more, to 33333331 being prime, but the next iteration (with 8 3s) is composite.

Prior abortion or miscarriage not linked to increased risk of pre- or postmenopausal breast cancer A prior abortion or miscarriage was not linked with an increased risk of developing pre- or postmenopausal breast cancer in a study published in Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica.

A new study has shown that miscarriage or induced abortion is NOT a potential risk factor for breast cancer, contrary to continued anti-choice propaganda. Even several abortions or miscarriages does not increase risk. The study used high-quality Finnish registry data.

*popcorn* I'm intrigued and would read this story.

tmux just proved its utility without me even trying.

Terminal window gets closed somehow without you realizing it? No worries, just load up your session again and you're back where you were before. No muss, no fuss, no restarting all the things.

Sidenote: This line made me chuckle.

"Yeah, this is going to escape containment quickly."

And once again, @xeiaso.net has dropped an article that makes me fascinated and horrified all at the same time.

Yes, this is where it's going. Maybe not this exact address, but this is the zip code.

When chapter one starts by rescuing a squidgirl, you know it's going to be decent.

(Actually, no I don't. But it's a good start. Better than a face-to-face meeting with Truck-kun anyway.)

Design choices that suck:

Blinking power lights on the back of a monitor.

Like, this thing is in my bedroom. I turn off the screen at night. I shouldn't get a blinking light as a result. That serves no purpose.

Yay goth girl outfits!

My wife finally just had a work shift where she had time to do her makeup and get back to her old goth roots. Unfortunately, retail might be good with makeup and hair, but isn't as accepting of chains and corsets. Much sad.

It's also the ever-present smell of cow shit. Lights up the atmosphere.

...I'm only half joking.

Having lived in the Midwest my entire life, Nebraska having claimed ~4 years of that, this is accurate. Dust is omnipresent.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Nothing quite as mentally soothing as engaging in that timeless JRPG tradition: mindlessly grinding for hours.

Amongst other things, this again highlights the core point about due process. It’s bad enough to be in a “show me your papers” situation, but your precious citizen/non-citizen, “legal”/“illegal” distinctions are meaningless when you can’t prove anything to authorities because they don’t give a shit.

We had one years ago, and it was nice, but it really isn't viable for a household of 7+ people. We just couldn't cook enough food for everyone with it. It took too long.

Once the kids are grown, I suspect we'll get one again.

The "corporate needs you to find the difference between these two pictures" meme, showing Supernatural and Dragonball Z as the two images.

TFW you make your partner very uncomfortable by pointing out that Supernatural is actually just a live action shonen anime.

“The Obamas are competent, classy, loving, Harvard and Princeton graduates, loved by many, not in the Epstein files, got the Nobel Peace Prize, and gave us a steady economy to boot…”

Iron Man meme, edited, Obadiah Stane yelling, "Your ancestors made timeless art in a cave! With berries and ash!"

"I need AI to make art, human art is only for the rich and privileged-"

Giant. Fucking. Mood.

Absolutely. You're taking your listener on a journey, telling a story. Just like when writing, putting words together isn't enough.

Layoffs just hit their highest start-of-year total since January 2009 — the height of the Great Recession — according to data tracking firm Challenger.

Meanwhile, CEO pay and corporate profits continue to hit record highs.

Does anyone still believe that trickle-down tax cuts create jobs?

Happy birthday to the Pokémon Mewtwo

I suspect there's some heavy influence from Bohemian Rhapsody or The Devil Went Down to Georgia on what is "necessary" to make an engaging, emotionally-charged song.

I concur.

"To Far Away Times" uses no guitar at all, yet pulls your heartstrings anyway.

"The Impressario" is an amazing rock ballad, yet the (admittedly impressive) musical work doesn't need insanely technical guitar work to pull you into it's story.
