At this point I'm starting to realize that blue-checks are essentially the same people who fall for Prosperity Gospel: Send the grocery and mortgage money to the crazy rich guy who blows it on himself, and feel like one of the elect. #Elon #Twitter

@AnnemarieBridy And the ideal sensor is easily obtainable. It even has its own temperature and humidity sensors as well. (Turns out it needs them to in order to produce an accurate CO2 reading, but you can tap them yourself as well.) So there's a couple of nerdy hours I can spend on another side project...

@AnnemarieBridy Hm. I just made a little device with an e-ink display, remotely linked to an outdoor sensor to tell us the temperature and humidity. Now I'm thinking of attaching a sensor directly to it to display indoor CO2. And maybe even use a little canary graphic...

@big_louse Lost me at "NATO shills". FOAD. Let me know if you need that initialism translated sometime during the 10 seconds before I block you.

@briankrebs

You can have a civliization, or you can have these people. You can't have both. We really need to choose.

@AnnemarieBridy I knew I was doing the smart thing by refusing to replace my 11 year old macbook air. It'd turn into a mass of white-hot foam if I tried that.

@makegeneve Please tell me you've got a "misterbun". #susief4ever #CalvinAndHobbes

Massive #nerds everywhere: what are your favorite #hostname conventions for computers and #IOT devices around the home and office?

Of late I've been going with Hebridean islands for system names, Star Wars critters for IP cameras (because one of the first ones I installed reminded me vaguely of a Jawa), and characters from #MontyPython and the Holy Grail for other minor network-enabled microcontroller-based gizmos.

@davidbisset "Littering your code with hastily-written temporary functions you'll eventually forget the purpose of and be afraid to delete because you're too lazy to work out if anything's still calling any of them." doesn't leave room for a very large animal on the cover

I've started instantly blocking accounts that continually post "news" that doesn't seem to be corroborated anywhere else and has no links or attribution. It's really distracting.

@osintaurora Source of this estimate?

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @mhoye Google is an advertising company. It has never been anything else. 80% of its revenue is from ads. Of the remaining 20%, half is from apps, a proportion of which is also ads.

@chris I take it back. It gets a lot better. Very nail-bitey.

@Virginicus That sounds like something the descendant of a telephone sanitizer would say.

This ship, the "Icon of the Seas" is generating a lot of controversy. Up to a point, i don't see the problem.

By all means, let everyone who wants to board it do so, and let it sail. The only part I object to is letting it ever come back.

Voting made easy:

Researching the issues and candidates can be time-consuming and baffling. instead, try this. Pick the most reliably wrong-headed person you know who likes to buttonhole you and tell you their theories about the world. Ask them how they intend to vote. Then do the opposite.
