The last release noted that quote posts were on deck for the next feature release.

That’s probably me, I’ve been playing a non-steam installed version of KSP for a month or so.

Dave Davies of The Kinks changed rock music with a razor blade. Distortion pedals existed but they couldn’t provide the same kind of fuss sound that we hear in “You Really Got Me”… but a year later they could.

It’s a decent general purpose data formatter (like “convert this giant json to yaml”) but there are other ways to do that.

It’s ok at being able to ask questions of documentation, as long as you don’t take anything at face value. Really if you understand 90% of something its not bad at giving you the missing 10%. And it makes me a bit faster when I go back to bash, the anti-bicycle, after a break.

And I find myself not writing as many IDE snippets because AI is good at super repetitive stuff like, “wrap this promise in an async function.” That’s not the best example but it’s what I could think of quickly.

Stop observing.

They’ve been trying to remain DST, but you need federal approval, and some states have been waiting a decade or longer for that. States can stay standard time on their own accord.

I live in Pacific but work remotely in Mountain. I’ve just adjusted to working 8 - 4 and subtracting an hour in my head anytime someone mentions a time.

It’s starting to look more likely that Wa, Or, and Ca are going to stop observing DST. Then I’ll be 2 hours different from March to November. That seems like it will be harder.

All of Kevin Conroy’s stuff was great, but I think TAS is my favorite.

Take care of you knees and back. Nothing spoils your 40s like bad knees or a bad back.

Don’t do it! Novelty license plates for that name are always sold out. I’ve been trying to find one for 30 years.

I’ve never seen a zipper merge work in high traffic, but I have seen “right lane ends” work more-or-less fine. Same effect, but people on the right lane drivers are a bit more likely to yield which makes people in the left lane slightly more likely to make room.

We’re often not a smart species.

The only time I don’t have something playing in my head is when I am actively listening to music.

At the moment its the guitar bridge from “In a Big Country” by Big Country. If I pay attention to it the song will continue to the end. But if I’m ignoring it, it’ll stay constant guitar solo.

For me it has to be the end of In The Pale Moonlight

So I will learn to live with it…Because I can live with it…I can live with it.

Computer – erase that entire personal log.

Gives me chills

The plug is also a good place to put it regulatory speaking as it means no manufacturers needs to change device designs, they just need to buy different cords. And it does not mean the plug has to be huge the way it once did. Most people in the US don’t even notice that there are fuses in the christmas light plugs. And I had a desk heater once that used an automotive fuse; it mean most of the plug was fuse but it was still built into ano therwise standard NEMA 1-15 plug.

I don’t care for the one that require both mains pins go in at the same time. That’s what we have most in my area and they are not as smooth as the long ground pin unlocks.

The main thing that should get adopted everywhere is having fuses or breakers in the plugs themselves. That would eliminate a lot of fires caused by putting too much current through small wires.

I also like the outlets (like in the UK and probably other places) that won’t unlock the mains slots until there’s a ground pin in place.

I have a bluesky account because several twitter friends went over there. I barely use it because my mastodon feed is a lot more interesting.
