Conservative governments have spent 3 generations, the world over, convincing everyone that deregulation is always a good thing.

I've been thinking about putting a nice poster or painting on my ceiling, so when I die at my desk if I happen to slump backward at least a nice poster will be the last thing I see.

I always think of a teacher I had in the 90's who had very strong opinions on the matter and wanted us all to abide by them. He was very soft-spoken but he would raise his voice a bit if we pronounced it wrong: "Day-ta is a name, dah-ta is information!"

The other time he raised his voice was to yell at a student, "Fire is not an element!!!" (we were talking about the periodic table at the time)

I like to think Q and the Emissary are still having boxing matches. Rope-a-dope is a real challenge when you exist non-temporally.

Maybe that's where our timeline split. If Blue Oyster Cult had a lute in Don't Fear The Reaper...

I always said I'd consider having a kid when it didn't sound like an 18 year prison sentence without the possibility of parole. All that's changed for me in the decades that I've been saying that is that the odds of the kids moving out around age 18 has plummeted.

These days, at least once a month, either my wife or I will turn to the other and say, "I'm really glad we never had kids." Even my mother, who always wanted grandkids, has even said she's glad we didn't have any.

Is it weird that I hope David Warner was also puppeting/voicing The Count?

Pssh! Lefties always getting special treatment and righties always getting a handout, while us middles always miss out.

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

Every person on the internet that responded to an earnest tech question with "sudo rm -rf /" helped make this happen.

Good on you.

Alpha 4.3.2: Fractured Frontiers (robertsspaceindustries.com)

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.

  • 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.

Electronics / microcontrollers.

Took just a few months to go from, "I can make a wifi connected weather station for like $20 in components!?" to "oscilloscopes cost how much?"

Community Points are the first step towards a better future for online communities. In order to be truly independent from platforms like Reddit, communities need to be owned by their members in ways that platforms cannot take away. With the advent of blockchain technology, we now have a way to establish this freedom in a decentralized and secure way.

The way to be independent of Reddit is by having a token on a blockchain maintained by Reddit?
