We must be close to the sort of flexible eink display that will finally make Rorschach's mask a thing.

Imagine spending that much money specifically to not contribute to society. And not being willing to pay for the public resources you use more than your share of.

I get it. Its basically a heated waterbed.

I'm the VP who actually knows how the things work. So after I solve your problem I:

Write the instructions in an email for the 4th time and send it to everyone involved (your name was probably in CC list, sorry about that)

Double check the internal documentation and add a bit about windows update going rogue

Notice the logs say I'm the only person to ever look at this doc

Send a second email about reading our documentation (now you're also in the BCC list too somehow, sorry about that)

Get a text from my wife to see if I've left work yet

Email our Microsoft rep and CC IT to chastise them about the update but also to see if this violates our SLA so we can get some credits

Check on the status of the SSO epic, since none of this would have happened if that had gotten finished in Q1 '22 like it was supposed to

See no one has been assigned to any tickets in that epic since the last time something like this happened 15 months ago

Spend 10 minutes daydreaming about opening a bike rental shop in Amsterdam

Email the DoE about making sure the SSO epic ends up as an OKR in Q3

Sure, Jenny's around 70 by now. I'm sure cancer is something on her mind.

This is like 101 stuff. You quickly learn to keep your cyanide in a false tooth and leave your cold dead heart at home.

It's either pleurigloss (the color of a solider returning from war and seeing their dog for the first time) or hooloovoo (the super intelligent shade of blue).

France only stopped using the guillotine for capital punishment 50 years ago. I'm guessing there is some basement somewhere full of still maintained "prison equipment"

Japan is experiencing its first sustained inflationary period in many years. So these drives are seeing prices go up when they haven't done so for much of their careers, and now their pay is dropping too.

On January 14, 2026, global telnet traffic observed by GreyNoise sensors fell off a cliff. A 59% sustained reduction, eighteen ASNs going completely silent, five countries vanishing from our data entirely. Six days later, CVE-2026-24061 dropped. Coincidence is one explanation.

The pattern points toward one or more North American Tier 1 transit providers implementing port 23 filtering

I'm still updating. I never took the time to play PTU this go around because I've been busy coming in 4th or 5th every match in Arena Commander.

Thankfully there's already a Shadow Patch Notes video posted so I was able to catch up.

  • Now through August 12th :: nominate ships

  • Sept 2 :: Winners announced.

Vehicles that clinch a spot in the final Elite Eight will be available to test-fly for free from August 26, so don’t forget to upvote, like, and share your favorite fan-made creations.

The Final Four competitors will also receive a special in-game paint and poster, while the winner gets an in-game championship pennant commemorating their 2955 win.

I'm oddly excited about the posters for no real reason. I'm also wondering if the Resource Drive is going to make this the Raft's year to shine.

Two years ago, Oregon cherry growers hoped that above-average yield and creative marketing would end a string of damaging seasons largely caused by snow and heat devastating the fragile crop. But the cherry market crashed that year and was so harmful to Oregon cherry farmers that they received federal aid as a result.

This year may prove to be just as challenging for farms growing Oregon’s fourth most valuable fruit, after wine grapes, blueberries and pears.

“It’s going to be a disaster of a year,” Chandler said, “but not a natural one, a manmade disaster.”

Many cherry farmers started the summer harvest last month with a labor shortage, as farmworkers delayed traveling to Oregon out of fear of immigration crackdowns.

In 2023, cherry farmers sought a disaster declaration from Gov. Tina Kotek after the price retailers paid them per pound dropped to about 55 cents.

This year, cherry farmers are estimating they’ll make 30 or 40 cents per pound, said Ashley Thompson, an associate professor of horticulture at Oregon State and a cherry expert.

I'd usually don't log my crimes so I don't need to delete them. But I guess that's why I'll never be the Emissary.
