I've been terminally online for ~40 years, long before the big endless scroll. I've seen things some people wouldn't believe. 1200 baud modems on fire from Usenet flame wars. I watched c-news servers stutter at the mere mention of Kibo. All those moments will be lost in AI slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.
During the Sunday night D&D game someone casually mentions the grey cup game and everyone else goes ... that was today? Oh well, anyways... roll for initiative.
Started watching Plur1bus. Got through the third episode just now. Great set up so far, now let's see how long it takes Carol to figure out the hivemind bypass switch.
@kolev The more I read about handwriting scripts/hands (as a casual interest) the more I am amazed at the variety used historically and in modern times.
@TommyTorty10 Hi. Old Unix fart here. The dropped characters etc smells of serial flow control issues. You are using 115200 for the serial rate. Is this with a cable with hardware flow control on both ends? What happens if you try 9600?
The dogs had their grooming appointment earlier this week, so it was time for mine. That's how I remember that I need to get my hair cut on a semi-regular basis. Dogs go about ten weeks between cuts, as do I.
Decided to try the #0 buzz offerred by the barber today and now I feel like the hooks side of a velcro strip. Might try getting it actually shaved next time.
(Not that I was ever planning on setting foot in the USA again.)
"The State Department’s guidance also directs visa officers to consider applicants ineligible to enter the U.S. for several new reasons, including whether they are past retirement age, how many dependents - children or elderly parents - they have, and whether any dependents have “special needs” or disabilities, the cable said."

"A diplomat who received last week’s cable, and also spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media, said State Department leadership has been very active in finding new ways to deny foreigners entry into the U.S. or just slow down the system."
it's November in southern Alberta and I hear a neighbour mowing their lawn. I guess they could just be sucking up some leaves -- I've done that before.
