Nobody is quite sure when the turtles got religion and started worshiping the Great Blue Heron.

Do I know any screen reader users who have successfully completed advanced math coursework? If so, I would like to meet with you. Boosts requested

It's 11pm, dog. I am not about to distribute cheese. This is an herbal tea before bed trip to the kitchen, nothing more.

The Voyager probes are amazing in many regards but they may ALSO be the longest continuously running computer programs (by some definitions). Each probe has three computers each of which has a backup. I wrote this eight years ago for MIT Technology Review: https://www.technologyreview.com/2015/08/06/166822/what-is-the-oldest-computer-program-still-in-use/

No dobra, bratanie się fedi z meta być może nie jest jednak najlepszym pomysłem…

Google maps after protestors in Bristol tore down a statue of slave trader Edward Coulston and threw it in the river
(What did #OpenStreetMap do?)

“And if OverDrive goes belly-up at some point in the future, crushed by KKR’s leveraged debt, it’s going to take down access to the digital catalogs of nearly every public library in North America. Between now and then, I expect the user experience to degrade precipitously.” https://karawynn.substack.com/p/the-coming-enshittification-of-public-libraries

#HeatPump question. Does anyone know how one can read the data logged by a Mitsubishi Hydrobox heat pump? I've got 125 Mb of logs divided into myriad daily folders with log files - all digital rather than text - representing 6 months of operation that I don't know how to read. is there some kind of software that will extract this stuff? Who would know? @Protons4B

HP are such scammers

I posted about this very cheap printer before, which strongly suggests that there is No USB, only Wifi. When I first got it I figured out how to print over the network without using the app they try to bully you into downloading.

It turns out it's even easier to print, just use the USB port they try to pretend isn't there!

No company is going to rewrite their firmware to remove the USB stack. It's even more expensive to redesign the hardware to get rid of the USB port physically. They opted for the cheapest option, a little sticker.

They are just trying to store everyone's documents in their stupid cloud service that some teenage extortion group is going to break into and leak one day. Don't give them your data.

HP would probably instantly stop making printers if e-waste and plastic waste production were fined even remotely appropriately.

od czasu do czasu przypomina mi się najlepszy lingwistyczny fikoł jaki wykonałem będąc nastolęciem, i klepię się po plecach.

pewnego dnia minąłem stojący na klatce schodowej samochód-jeździk stylizowany na jeepa. z tyłu jeździka była naklejka z jego "marką" - HAMMER, specjalnie przekręconą żeby uniknąć kłopotów. no i śmiesznie hehe, bo podróba Hummera i równocześnie młotek, hehe.

zacząłem się zastanawiać jak oddać ten żart po polskiemu, i po chwili mnie oświeciło.

GENERAL MŁOTORS.

Nearly every material, whether it is solid, liquid, or gas, expands when its temperature goes up and contracts when its temperature goes down.

There are a few exceptions, but by and large, materials conform strictly to this principle. There is, however, a class of metal alloys called Invars (think invariable), that stubbornly refuse to change in size and density over a large range of temperatures.

For over 100 years, the source of this unique property has remained a mystery, but now, researchers have finally discovered the mechanism that causes Invars to behave the way that they do.

It's my latest for work.

2. Today I drove Missy by herself on a historic Doctor's buggy, restored to fully usable.
I needed to return a library book no later than tomorrow, so this was a real errand.
Last week I was running a load of recycle.
I sit out here, five miles from town, and I think, ten mile round trip on gasoline - high mileage vehicle and driving style, but still gasoline - or ten mile round trip in a donkey cart?

The finale of the #BirdGlamour North America Goose Glam series is the Greylag Goose! One of the most common geese in Europe, they are rare in North America. Did you know that many domestic geese are descendants of the Greylag Goose? Like other geese, they love grazing in fields & wetlands. #BirdGlamourOfNorthAmerica #SciArt #SciComm #ScienceMUA

Millennials are killing the killing industry

On Monday, my wife will drive through the new ten-foot gate and fence surrounding her school where they will fire live rounds so teachers will know what real gunfire sounds like as they learn to apply tourniquets to children.

We feel so free.
