No matter what you eat for the holidays, please never: - comment on how much someone is eating - comment on how little someone is eating - comment on someone eating This can be a major trigger for people with eating disorders. Plus it’s none of your business. Thanks!

I went back and re-processed my Milky Way/Mount Rainier image from this summer. Because with the #astrophotography hobby, you are never ever done. 😄 This summer’s version was a single exposure. For this newer version, I used Siril’s manual registration […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

RE: https://kind.social/@nat/115612013930582209 Can confirm. Our flu patient count currently is higher than our COVID patient count. That blows my mind a little.

At least 31 babies in 15 states became ill after being fed ByHeart formula, which has now been found to be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum Type A, according to the company. https://byheart.com/

This collection is SLAYING me. Especially @peripateticmeg.bsky.social 's pearl pieces, which I want ALL OF PLEASE, but the whole collection is just stunning. Set your clocks!

Question to the #fedivrse : Have you heard of a verified process where thieves are able to scan a vehicle with a "lithium detector" to find powered-off, cold, dead-to-the-world, electronics such as laptops that might be hidden somewhere in said vehicle? What I keep reading suggests that this […]

My cat has such a dire love affair with plastic, that she will, on nearly a daily basis, work her way through the house to check-in on every piece of plastic she knows about in the house. I call it plastic surfing. Like a dragon making sure every gold coin is properly in place.

Cold weather warnings yesterday. They recommend that in icy conditions you should always travel with a shovel, blankets, 24 hours worth of food and drinks, rock salt, de-icer spray, torch and batteries, first aid kit and a set of jump leads. I felt a right idiot on the bus.

Because of the way the room (and the whole floor) is shaped, my office has a comfort problem. It’s on the south end and has giant windows, and is as far, ductfully speaking, from the furnace as it’s possible to get in this house. In the morning, it’s too cold. In the afternoon, it’s often too […]

Heh. My morning started out by accidentally dropping one of my ibuprofen tablets into my coffee this morning. It was more than half dissolved by the time I was able to rush to the kitchen to shuffle the coffee into another cup. Guess that's one way to take them. Bottoms up!

On a whim I checked my local public library system website for fun upcoming events (because I finally have a bit of bandwidth for such things) and found a _ton_ of good stuff coming up! "Having fun isn't hard when you have a library card" indeed!

I've been a little hesitant to pick up more TWSBI Eco pens after having a grip crack catastrophically on me even though TWSBI was very gracious in replacing it for me. But I've been super happy with my AL versions like the Diamond 580 AL I have. I have it filled up with my favorite J.Herbin […]

Catching up on @desertbus and let me tell you about the sheer glee I experienced watching @Graham_LRR learn about the incredible show that is "Galavant." Graham, you are in for a TREAT. That show is unbelievably fun. https://youtu.be/-zMiI483KJg?si=C6S7ReEChOdV2n34

Looking at an older photo of myself... my profile photo here in fact.. and I'm realizing i'm missing my beard. 2-ish years ago, I started trimming it down to a very tight Van-Dyke in order to ensure tight skin contact with my N95 masks. This was about the time the hospital pulled its general […]

Tomorrow is the #transgender Day of Remembrance (don't forget #tdor! 🏳️‍⚧️) and your girl here will be taking that day off from boosting. In fact, I might be taking a few days off. Depends on my recovery. But hopefully I've already introduced you to enough fabulous people to follow that your […]

For those folks who are studying networking for their #ccna or other related networking certification and need practce questions for #subnetting, I always used to like subnettingquestions.com, and I'd say if you can solve them in your head in 10 seconds or less, you''re doing pretty good.

Happy Self-Hosting Quarter for those that continue to celebrate! 🥳

On behalf of my city i would like to wish Donald Trump a very heartfelt FUCK YOU. President Donald Trump has again dangled the prospect of moving the World Cup out of Seattle next year while calling Mayor-elect Katie Wilson “another beauty” and a “very, very liberal slash communist mayor.” […]

They laughed at me for still buying DVDs but now it's Saturday morning and I'm watching Bugs Bunny cartoons for as long as I want with no commercials WHO'S LAUGHING NOW

I don't play role playing games. Just not my jam. But I still have a deep attraction to pretty clacky math rocks. I'd collect them just to display them even though I wouldn't use them. I'll have to start finding alternative uses. 🙂

I did another test run with the waterjet at the maker space for the stained glass hemisphere project (no, I haven't given up on it!), and just foiled them to learn what could be learned. Scaling up the islands was the right call, they're no longer disappearing […] [Original post on clacks.link]

There are days I love Linux and others, I just want to give up and go back to Windows... I have a new PC with a Radeon card that I want to use to work with Handbrake to do hardware video encoding.. only... Handbrake needs the Pro drivers installed. and AMD doesn't provide Pro drivers that build […]

I know both that I love the weather of the PNW, and that I have inverted SADD when our flight descends through the clouds into a dark, rainy, and gloomy #seattle and my mood just lifts dramatically. Love it like crazy! 🥰

Took some selfies today

#threegoodthings 1. Getting time away from work and life, and while not restful, definitely productive in good ways 2. Reminded again why I love where I live and why I don't expect to move too far away in the future. 3. Grateful to have enough PTO to stay home while we quarantine.

If you struggle with "stuff", you might consider, for the benefit of those you may leave behind, to start chipping away at it. Clothes you don't ever wear.. Magazines you'll never cut the articles out of... Books you aren't reading anymore... Closets you avoid.... Garage storage shelves packed […]

The Trump administration refusing to pay SNAP benefits given how much money gets wasted on so many other things is driving me crazy. I can't do it alone, but I can help a little. You can too! Will you join me in donating to your local food pantry? I just donated to North Helpline here in […]
