Get ready to short SPCX, all you crazy day traders.

There's shades of grey to everything. It's the extreme in any dimension that is the problem. mastodon.social/@anolandria/116992942023577958

@ZenHeathen@beige.party @crispius@mstdn.fname.ca I don’t use it, but if you have a Linux box kicking around it’s one to try. If you already block scripts and ads with unlock, you may not have any extra benefit. I use AdGuard myself.

Remember when they experimented with audio simulcast of TV shows on an FM radio station? Back in the days of CRT and single mono speakers. I distinctly remember a Calgary TV and FM station duo doing this for the tv-movie premier thing of Miami Vice. #80s #1980s

Received some #PostCardSwap mail the other day. I have been meaning to get back to sending random cards out to family and friends and this might kickstart me in that again. (I sent a few during height of pandemic days)

I can't believe I'm cheering for a rocket explosion or crash. I used to be in awe of rockets and space programs but this billionaire fever dream version needs to go out with a bang. Maybe it could crater into the production facility. That'd be swell. RE: flipboard.com/users/Spacecom/statuses/uqOOTanZQHe-8X_AdQQaMw:a:1693190246

The 'merkin system of government is chock full of oddities. A senator dies, and the governor appoints the senator's sister to serve out his term in office. WTF I can't even.

@nash@labyrinth.social Reminds me of a bar that once was in downtown Calgary. It was called "The Office". I presume so you could tell whomever that you weren't coming home yet and were still at the office downtown.

Ordered a wrist watch from germany, received a battered and empty package. Contacted seller (who is actually the manufacturer) to ask what the claim process is. And now I wait, because timezones. #FirstWorldProblems

@M0YNG@mastodon.radio It's a toy, and the moment my town has a reliable mesh is when I'll lose interest. I'd keep my repeater up for others though.

Nah, gave up and left it sitting like that. Probably should pack that up to take to the dump. (except for the serial terminal, that's still useful from time to time)

I should stop trying to massage a technically flawed image in post, and just go reshoot the subject with my real camera. (Excessive lens flare etc from shooting sunward with an iPhone)

Cleaning my closet out of stuff that does not fit it is worn out. Two big bags for donation so far, and one for the bin. Guessing there’ll be one or two more bags for donation when I get through the rest. Seems like I just did this task not too long ago but in reality it was probably 5-8 years ago.

@David@gamepad.club Not exactly. Formation of the country in 1867 yes, independent no. That didn't happen until 1931.

Watched Enola 3 last night. Kinda meh about it. No gas left in that tank.

@benbrown@masto.hackers.town Thisreminds me of nuke chess my roomie and i created circa 1990. Two different coloured d8. Roll first one after your chess move, and if you got a one, roll both d8 and remove any piece sitting at those coordinates. Variations included putting a marker penny on the spot as no-go possible on or through it.

Downloading some stuff to watch later, and they happen to be originally PAL (vs NTSC). The episode file names are amusing with PAL suffixes. "Dawn of the Gods, PAL" "Rumors of Death, PAL" etc
