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.

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.

"The State Departmentโs 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 โspecial needsโ or disabilities, the cable said."

"A diplomat who received last weekโs 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.
Remember the days of crt monitors and being unable to stop yourself from taking over a coworker's machine briefly to fix their insane flickering refresh rate?
Maybe just a little on the spectrum here, but it sure bugged the crap outta me to see them living with the strobe effect from hell.
Giving PeakTo photo indexer another try. Last time, (I dunno was it last winter or fall?) it continually ground my hard disk to dust even after the week long first time indexing run. (May or may not be exaggerating here)
