i once knew people who would park in neighboring parkinglots because their apt complex didn't have enough spaces. This caused problems for said stores as they got less customers due to having a smol parking lot.

Scientists have measured the highest toughness ever recorded, of any material, while investigating a metallic alloy made of chromium, cobalt, and nickel (CrCoNi). Not only is the metal extremely ductile—which, in materials science, means highly malleable—and impressively strong (meaning it resists permanent deformation), its strength and ductility improve as it gets colder. This runs counter to most other materials in existence.

depending on what you're working on, yes- you'll need a secondary, bigger strap.

the kind of sewing machine you'll need to punch through velcro will be expensive. you're better-off doing it by hand if you're not going to be sewing regularly.

@arth This is a great explanation of git commands and data flow. I've uploaded the image with an alt-text description.

It's 11:38AM Eastern and I'm glad you are alive.

I know that sometimes it's hard but the effort is worth it.

You are worth it.

You are worthy.

Microsoft stubbornly refuses to give up and allow users to disable the "Recommended" section on the Start menu. Moreover, the company is pressing on with the idea to the extent of displaying ad-like recommendations of various websites.
...
(small images representing holidays and other events) Microsoft places in that box. Apart from confusing the users with constantly changing graphics, those highlights create an illusion of extra misaligned apps on the taskbar
....
Therefore, the latest improvements to the Suggested Actions feature are yet another way to shove Edge down users' throats. Selecting text in Windows 11 now displays a small banner with a button allowing you to search the internet. Of course, Bing-only and Microsoft Edge-only.
...
It can display ad-like prompts to set up OneDrive, sign in with a Microsoft Account, back up files (in OneDrive, of course), or complete your profile.
...
Remember Microsoft displaying banners above the taskbar to promote the new Edge? Those are back to drive attention to Windows Search filled with ads.

I just found that gandi.net posted an article on how to set up your own fediverse instance. They mention how to host both Mastodon or Pleroma using their services. Pretty good job, guys. https://news.gandi.net/en/2022/12/how-to-join-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-using-gandi-hosting-offer/

It seems highly unlikely...
===============================
If you have a cat, you've probably heard of this parasite before. The microscopic organism can only sexually reproduce in the bodies of felines, but it can infect and thrive in pretty much all warm-blooded animals.

This includes humans, where it can cause a typically symptomless (but still potentially fatal) parasitic disease called toxoplasmosis.

Once it's in another host, individual T. gondii parasites needs to find a way to get their offspring back inside a cat if it doesn't want to become an evolutionary dead-end. And it has a kind of creepy way of maximizing its chances.
....
Infected wolves were also way more likely to become pack leaders. T. gondii may increase testosterone levels, which could in turn lead to heightened aggression and dominance, which are traits that would help a wolf assert itself as a pack leader.
