Fell one meter.

It scratched easily. I’d rather have a durable plastic that scratched easily and could take a fall than what I had with this one.

That hand does not look like it belongs to that body.

We have a monkey paw situation going on.

Connected n8n to everything. Now I'm staring at a blank canvas wondering what to actually automate. What are you running workflows for that you couldn't live without?

I remember they moved to MLS which was better, but I didn’t know it wasn’t properly reviewed before mass public adoption. I think they’re relying on publicly stating it’s in “beta” differently than I originally assumed what that meant.

Germ Network Share what you want to, when you need to, on Germ DM. The only messenger with multiple profiles, no phone numbers, and end-to-end encryption.

You might be right to have some caution. As I’m digging deeper the implementation the team used hasn’t undergone an independent security audit. github.com/awslabs/mls-rs unlike signal that gets scrutinized often.

They have been taking away any form of ownership with our digital libraries.

The moon 🌙 and Mercury during sunset.

The moon 🌙 and Mercury during sunset.

Tonight we were able to see a crescent 🌙 waxing moon with Mercury just 0.8° away from each other.

If you look closely, you can see the entire moon. 🌕

Absolutely beautiful.

International Fixed Calendar - Wikipedia

It would be great to have a calendar that matched all this. Say the International Fixed Calendar. 13 months, all 28 days long. One “bonus” day a year. Two on a leap year.

I have used this on a fair amount of my projects for years. Free and crazy simple to set up.

Randomly remembered the #GRRCON years ago where @j0hnnyxm4s.johnnyxmas.net asked me to give @jaysonstreet.bsky.social a cabbage or a head of lettuce and I did with zero explanation required.

That cabbage became locally famous for two days. 🥬

They don’t view people as people.

When we can understand that, we know why things play out as they do.
