$100 gets you a cheap new Chromebook or a used ThinkPad

@bonifartius they're actually pretty hardy once they get past first month of growth and provided the temperature doesn't drop below 10-ish C.
I got that many because I want to do some fancy grafting next year. Something like on those pics

People are wrong about Daylight Savings time.
Every time you'll get dozens of articles saying Is it time to get rid of daylight savings? as if it's a bad thing.
The truth is we're not doing it enough.

The real reason everyone is confused is because we took a half step. The world is a sphere, not a flat plane. Because we're missing an entire dimension of detail, we're only doing half the daylight savings required.

What do I mean by this?
You see, we currently save daylight by longitude, but if we want a truly accurate amount of daylight savings we will also require time dilation by latitude. So the further you get from the equator the more we have to slow the clocks down to ensure everyone actually receives their full day in the sun. This is because each day and night is longer the closer you get to the north or south pole.

This is the essential factor missing from a physically accurate daylight savings model.

@iska @ins0mniak @PurpCat Oh, like rms or Linus Torvalds?

Venus of Hohle Fels (Venus of Schelklingen), an Upper Paleolithic Venus figurine made of mammoth ivory that was unearthed in 2008 in Hohle Fels, a cave near Schelklingen, Germany.

It is dated to between 40,000 and 35,000 years ago, belonging to the early Aurignacian, at the very beginning of the Upper Paleolithic, which is associated with the earliest presence of Cro-Magnon in Europe.

"Day 43 from Covid, 2nd round of steroids started Tues before turkey day. Have had EKG, xray, labs, CT to check for blood clots (lab work suggested), antibiotics & 2 inhalers.

I’m exhausted and sometimes sound like I smoke 2pks/day. It’s made my fibromyalgia so much more painful than I’ve ever experienced. There’s no pain med for this.

Yes, I’m vaccinated although I had just gotten the new booster 2+ weeks prior to getting sick."

@iska @ins0mniak @PurpCat You would think this was true of tabletop RPGs but those got overrun.

this popped into my head in the shower this morning and now you have to look at it
