Mules Navigating North Carolina's Impassable Roads To Bring Supplies To Communities Cut Off By Hurricane Helene With hundreds of roads still impassable due to storm damage and flood debris, Mount Ulla-based Mountain Mule Packer Ranch is using their β€œbeloved” pack mules to bring supplies to areas not accessible ...

My grandfather, who maybe loved mules more than his own children, would feel extremely validated by this story

The curious case of the disappearing Polish S One keyboard bug three decades in the making

I've been talking with @jglypt.net recently about what keyboard layout I use on Macs and why (US English), and I remembered this cool story from a Medium developer about a strange bug, which goes through some history starting in the 1980s in Poland and several things that together led to this bug πŸ™‚

Maybe it’s just me but every time my flight is delayed due to a maintenance issue I think: I’m in the happy ending of the time travel story in which the hero went back to prevent a horrible tragedy

Same. To spell words I follow rules, some conscious (β€œi before e except after c”) but most unconscious. There are also a lot of words on a β€œcustom spelling” list. No visualization at all.

Anyone know what happened to the horse? SOP if they get loose generally doesn’t end well for the animal but getting loose requires multiple failures because they are contained in specialized cargo pods which would normally be kept closed. Images are from the last time we Fedexed a horse to Alaska

The β€˜sky app is way more usable on a tablet now that the phone app works in landscape. If I drop its font size way down I can almost fit a post on the screen. C’mon, it’s getting really close!

If you’re in the mood for some philosophy on the creative process I’d recommend watching this video from Adobe’s annual get together called MAX:

It’s long and there’s good stuff throughout but if you only have time for one speaker I’d watch Karen X Cheng

@perryclarke.bsky.social Well … here I am, another refugee. No iPad app is a disappointment but I’m sure that will be addressed in due course. So good, so far!
