I am currently at 185 species out of 1000 for the year, which is good, but I am behind schedule by 78. The year is still long, and I am yet to get any dragonflies, or do moth trapping. I have been focusing on ground beetles which means lots of log flipping!

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. Thatās it.

You don't start an illegal war and then ask NATO to help finish it. NATO is there to protect fellow members who are attacked. If you can't grok that you shouldn't be a leader.

Trump is being a hostile toddler-like idiot towards the UK, it's time to call it quits on the "special relationship" and cancel all state visits for US presidents to the UK until things improve.

In 1980, Intel released the 8087 floating-point chip, making math much faster. I'm reverse-engineering this chip, 46 years later. Most of its instructions are implemented in microcode, but some are implemented in hardware. Let's look at the circuitry that decodes instructions and decides what to do.

Trump's policies make the US look ridiculous from the standpoint of the rest of the world. It's going to take many years for the US to regain it's lost reputation. Sorry, but that's the reality we're now in.

I'm retiring at the end of February, I've been fighting various illnesses and I need to slow down and focus on my health. It's been a fun career, I've been programming in C and assembler for ~40 years and a lot has changed in that time. I'll still be keeping stress-ng going.

From his mouth are lies and corruption, his madness was clear to see. Yet the people shouted "he is our king, he does no wrong, let us destroy those who come against him". And so corruption killed sanity, and the world headed into war.
