Before I was born, my family moved “back to the woods” in 1971. We were part of a commune/cult in rural Tennessee.

We were worse at *literally* everything: building houses, heating them, running water, heating it, growing food, cooking it, transportation, fixing things, making things.

Everything.

The cult fell apart because its inefficiency was unsustainable.

Ask me how much patience I have for people who say they want to go “off the grid” in the country.

I continue to find it interesting that in the context of climate change you get called a “doomer” if someone thinks you’re giving up the fight, but in the context of COVID you get called a “doomer” for being one of the few people who hasn’t given up the fight.

Our neighbour's old window was damaged recently by strong winds. I'm now trying to convince her to switch to something more stable. Like Ubuntu.

My friends neighbor died at age 29 while driving through rural Eastern Oregon to see Willie Nelson (age 90) at a music festival solely created for 29 year-old people to drive to and enjoy. I am thinking, once more, thinking IS the best way to travel. #MoodyBlues #MidSummer #SAD #BiPolar #wednesday #Obituary #Fate #LaForzaDelDestino #AutomotiveDeaths #Music

Hot take: using baby talk when talking to children is a form of child abuse.

I used to work at a restaurant that served these really good fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. They were made pretty regularly, so you'd never get a cookie that was more than an hour or two old. Despite this someone would inevitably ask for some fresh out of the oven. The problem with this was twofold:

1. They took nearly 15 minutes to bake, way longer than anyone was willing to wait.

2. If you know anything about baking soft chewy cookies, when they come out of the oven they are basically just molten goo, we had to wait 10 minutes before we were even allowed to take them off the pan.

So, we'd always tell people these things, and at least a couple times a week, someone would demand we do it anyway, and call the manager when we handed them a hot bag of cookie goo 15 minutes later. The restaurant eventually got rid of those cookies for something that was pre-made that tasted like Dollar Store cookies.

I thought about this a lot during the height of the Covid Pandemic, and every time a politician disagrees with a scientist about climate change. Anyway, welcome to Dollar Store Planet.

I was quoted in PC Magazine about the Zoom terms of service fiasco. In particular, I said of TOS: "There can be the lawyerly temptation to phrase them as broadly as possible to give you the most flexibility as you continue to develop your service. But the problem with trying to proactively obtain as many permissions as you can is that users may start to think you will actually use them and react to that possibility."

Nie znam sie, więc zapytam obecnych tu specjalistów: Kupować baterie 5Ah za 270 czy 6Ah za 350? Podbicia mile widziane.

Unfortunately, most forms lack this option. Being able to pick "Dr" instead of choosing between the Mr/Ms/Miss/Mrs is a very good reason to get a PhD. 😁
