@luckytran@mastodon.social … and to reinforce their denial that covid damage to brains and immune systems contribute to all of these…

@cinebox@masto.hackers.town @dantheclamman@scicomm.xyz Could it at least have got the direction of flight right? smh

Last year I grew two turmeric plants. I tried to overwinter one, which is sometimes successful, but it died back completely in the dry indoor air. Out of spoons, I just ignored the pot in my living room. It hadn't been watered since December. I was planning to dump the spent soil and no-doubt decomposed remnants of rhizome. Last Monday I walked past the pot and was stunned to see a sprout. So I watered it, heavily and repeatedly. Today it's 16" tall. #IndoorGardening #TropicalPlants #Gardening

@tinker I miss AltaVista so much.

@ApostateEnglishman Hey, at least you kicked the pedo out of *your* monarchy.

@passwordsarehard4@mastodon.social @mellifluousbox@mastodon.social @steltenpower@social.edu.nl Because a lot of mom-and-pop small business owners don't have a comprehensive business plan or even a comprehensive advertising plan. They come with core skills in the trade, not in running a business. So generally they do the thing they're selling very well, but they don't sell it well. And they don't always have a good understanding of the pros and cons of automated help when they can't afford a human. (Looking in part at myself here.)

@tantramar THIS IS WHY I HAVE 200 TABS OPEN

@shoq@mastodon.social Most interesting to me, what I'd forgotten of this quote, is how he centers a "manufacturing economy." Just touching real things. Changing the oil in my motorcycle (sorry, ain't lying in the dirt getting used oil on my eyebrows like you have to do with a car, and also sorry I know it's different from assembling it in a factory) connects me to reality and thus to science. Another way Sagan's thinking stood out from stereotypical scientists'.

@acallegaro@mas.to Other kids notice we're different too, which is the most destructive part. Since we're so much a part of every human group, early identification would let us form social groups we could actually comprehend and benefit from.

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org But the satisfaction is priceless. (Not necessarily joking, at least not all the time. This is exactly how home vegetable gardening and maple sugaring work.)

@woozle Fabulous for the neologism /and/ for DuckDuckWent, one of my favorite words :)

@UkeleleEric @ApostateEnglishman That part isn't any different from the USA. But kicking out "the obvious one" is a HUGE difference.

@ahimsa_pdx Yes, the phrase makes sense the first time in that example. But after that, there's no need to say "this model" every time.

@ahimsa_pdx @Catvalente Or just say "it." No need to avoid pronouns. Unless, you know, AI is allergic to pronouns in the way many of its strongest advocates are.

@quinn C'mon Willie, your country needs you now.

@Seilenos@queerspirituality.social @GottaLaff@mstdn.social @ferricoxide@evil.social I'm a boomer, and my county Democratic Party's phone is forwarded to mine, and the two months before an election when I have to take off "silence unknown callers" and pick up every fcking thing are the longest eight years of my life, every time.

@skylark13@mastodon.gamedev.place @harald@mementomori.social @darwinwoodka@mastodon.social @ottaross@mastodon.social Ah, thank you. It was just the absent https:// that was tripping me up.

@darwinwoodka@mastodon.social @ottaross@mastodon.social I can do that in DDG's own browser, but it's a PITA. Tor offers it right in their dropdown menu with other search engines (yay). What other browsers let you select NoAI DDG as your default search engine?

@suqdiq@chaos.social (now if they'd just add anti-ableism)

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social the wealthy are discovering what the rest of us have always known, that cops don't prevent crime. so now the cops' job is to respond to thought crime. if people are arrested just for thinking about someone else's crime ...

@Bellison22@mastodon.social .... need to know more. Will they try to replace the Board at the next election? Should we start a movement now to rally smaller shareholders against assigning their proxy votes to anti-DEI shareholders?

@hellomiakoda@pdx.social It's tough in Ohio.

@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org @guffo@topspicy.social @girlonthenet@mastodon.social I thought that was Xitter. X pronounced in the Spanish fashion, of course.

@jurjen_heeck@mastodon.nl @briankrebs@infosec.exchange Yup. I created an Insta account a few years ago to follow some local organizations, but never posted until they started letting you do that from the web.

@charlotteclymer@mastodon.social Yeah, that's the dialogue, but it omits this part: Actual mental health experts: Violence is not a mental disability, and mentally disabled people are much more likely to be victims, not perpetrators of crime. Dems and GOP, in unison: IT'S THE MENTAL HEALTH!

@frumble@chaos.social @mohs@aachen.social Increasingly, commercial and organizational websites don't work with Firefox. Sometimes it's just funky formatting and I can deal with that, but when the e-commerce part doesn't work at all, I need an alternative. Mostly I'd been going to Safari when Firefox didn't work, but nowadays, a lot of sites don't work with Safari either. I hate it here.

@solitha@mastodon.social @darwinwoodka@mastodon.social @ottaross@mastodon.social NoAI DuckDuckGo is not one of Firefox's built-in options, but it can be added manually (instructions upthread - be sure to include https:// in the URL when you enter it)

@marmeladenbaguette@dresden.network She hadn't been introduced at the time of the original movie advertised in this poster.

@PizzaDemon@mastodon.online @futurebird@sauropods.win @MarkHoltom@mastodonapp.uk A male runner keeping pace with the female leaders is still a high level elite runner, though not in contention to win the men's division. He'll likely have *trained* with the weight of a hydration vest, the aid of a carer, or both. But *racing* at that level, he wouldn't want the extra weight, and personal staff are likely banned from aid stations. This is all on the organizers.

@GottaLaff@mstdn.social Thank you. I need to make my gratitude explicit more often.

@joho@mastodon.online When we started having to scan our faces and upload our IDs to login to Medicare, it was all over.

@greenpeace@mastodon.social I genuinely wonder whether it's better NOT to recycle plastic, since the plastics will ultimately leach into the ground when containment efforts degrade - rather than being released as toxic fumes into the air near human habitations? (It's also my understanding that recycling steel, aluminum, glass and paper *does* conserve a lot of resources and decrease environmental impact, can you confirm?)

@harald@mementomori.social @skylark13@mastodon.gamedev.place @darwinwoodka@mastodon.social @ottaross@mastodon.social Thanks - but hmmmmm - I'm transitioning away from Firefox but still have a lot bookmarked there, but when I try, I get "! That URL doesn't look right. Please check it and try again" and it won't let me click "Add Engine"?

@Sassinake@mastodon.social @PizzaDemon@mastodon.online @futurebird@sauropods.win @MarkHoltom@mastodonapp.uk These days they're usually banned for security reasons, not doping.

@clock@f.cz @ahltorp@mastodon.nu @huntingdon@mstdn.social @VisualStuart@pdx.social A citizen "can" do anything they want with that legally owned stopping power. ICE "can" do anything they want with theirs, and now they have justification beyond "she was in a car near me."

@bright_helpings@mspsocial.net @futurebird@sauropods.win @MarkHoltom@mastodonapp.uk And the fact that the runner she helped was reduced to his disability in every story apparently any of us has been able to find about it. Like was done to Serge Kovaleski. Disgraceful.

@futurebird@sauropods.win @MarkHoltom@mastodonapp.uk Yeah after you said that I went picking through, and it appears that this was such a small race that the results aren't online, at least in English, and I have no Chinese. Otherwise it would be super easy to find his name by his bib number. But the race is still being run, so anybody with Chinese language skills and maybe local contact with race organizers can find him :)

@Omega_Scribet@mementomori.social @Sidherian@aus.social That’s nice, but hospitals don’t just trade their MRI machines in every three years like they were new cars. It’s a MASSIVE investment for them, and rural hospitals as usual will be hit the hardest.
