“Don’t think I don’t know what’s going on here, Sam.”

Seen one of these posted without credit, so sharing some more here because they are amazing and I'd buy every single one of them if they existed.

I should not have been left unsupervised

I, too, am fed up with being served video instructions. I want it written down. Please and thank you.

This Japanese maple was installed about 12 years ago. Annual pruning is important to retain the beauty and sculptural interest of the tree in summer, but especially in winter.

Telling my kids Wingdings is Old English.

Roses are red.
Roses are blue.

My downloadable colouring book, of Weird Field World spaceships, is free (pay what you want) for the rest of this week.

So if you have kids that might need something to occupy them for a couple of hours in the holidays…

@regehr Back in the day, I got called to a professor’s office (I was IT support in the CS department) and the professor was complaining his Sparc4 was running slow. First thing I did was minimise a window and there was just this black square. Bit by bit roaches slowly moved. Like 0.5 fps. So many xroaches under his xterm that it was just a solid black square.

The roaches multiply if they’re left alone long enough. This professor NEVER moved windows. So roaches scurried under his windows and then sat there. Never disturbed by being exposed. Slowly multiplying at some rate. Some grad student had thought it would be funny to play a prank on the professor and run xroach on him. But the professor obviously never saw the roaches. So they hid under his windows slowly increasing until finally they soaked up so much RAM that it impaired performance.

I like an administration that listens to others when a wrong move is made and makes a change.

It's 2023, and there's a US election in 2024 that will determine the future of climate change, war in Ukraine, the global economy, reproductive rights, and global fascism.

And folks still want to talk about Cambridge Analytica in 2015, instead of stuff like this:

The reason you can't make any progress on:
* Climate change
* Reproductive rights
* Trans rights

Is because too many Black folk are denied the right to vote. Focus on that instead of your pet issue.
