Ok -- I am really curious about this one!

I searched for: david sedaris blood work

because I wanted to see if the piece was online anywhere. The result I got on both my phone's Firefox Focus and my work laptop's Firefox says "not many results contain test, search for david sedaris blood 'test'?"

but the word "test" is not anywhere in my query.

Searching for: lab blood work

does not get me this. Nor do other things I've tried.

@platypus I didn't get that.

@platypus as a control I searched for [my name] blood work, and the first result was an obituary for David Fiander!

@platypus he worked at CERN. I doubt that we were related, without going back to the early 19th C.

Owning a home is a constant state of annoyance at the choices previous owners made.

@adr There's a copy in my library, so I will be checking out this important text on my way home today

Turned down an enthusiastic invitation to a fistfight in the Costco parking lot. Doing fine, but still adrenalized.

How's your Thursday going?

@mwl as a lapsed aikido student, my first thought would be, "don't break his elbow."

Wow, this is possibly the stupidest, greediest, most predatory abuse of copyright I've seen in a while.

A person can't post a photo of a room with wallpaper that has a licensed image even if the wallpaper was legally bought? That's not how this is supposed to work!

"She didn't credit me in the caption."

WHO TF LOOKS UP THE NAME OF THE WALLPAPER ARTIST WHEN POSTING VACATION HOME PHOTOS?

@ktempestbradford the worst part is that he's jurisdiction shopping, and that this is the third time that he's tried to sue over this because two other German courts told him to GTFO

So far today, two different people have asked me why I'm so friendly and happy. And, hey. So far as I know, we get one trip on this sweet little planet. It'd be a real drag if we all carried on unhappy, unfriendly.

@Twinklybugs great, so there's a maximum on the "you should smile more" spectrum

@adr@mastodon.social avatar

So yeah in re: and (especially with this new thing) and Linux people being jerks etc. I've been a Linux user since 1994. In that time I've had a fair chunk of "lol linux sucks" lobbed at me from, oh, Amiga people. OS/2 people. DOS people. Windows people. MacOS people. Now-long-dead proprietary Unix people. Claims that Linux is "hard to use" and people just can't be bothered.

@adr back in 2000-ish, I switched from FreeBSD to Linux because linux could actually use my sound card. And you could run WordPerfect on it.

@mwl Will you revoke the certificate for the signed ebook before or after you distribute it?

@mwl M.C. Escher used to drill huge holes in his woodblocks when he was finished with a print run.

It is entirely possible to critique completely terrible people without talking about their looks or how they're so old they should "go back to Facebook".

@adr Do you run a large multinational corporation, John?

I wonder if I'll hear any "I don't want to learn fucking Linux" statements coming out of this Microsoft Recall thing.

djfiander,
@djfiander@code4lib.social avatar

@adr I am amused by the "Linux users are stripy thigh high stock wearing tgirls" discourse, though.

djfiander,
@djfiander@code4lib.social avatar

@adr You can start wearing stripy socks any time you want.

I love that almost every All Trails review of the place I'm going to hike today is like "got lost but it was ok."

Helps me set expectations. It's a rather small place -- really the worst case scenario for being lost if you can't also use your phone's GPS (which you can, it's got coverage) is that you just have to go find one of the boundary roads.

Transferred that scoby. For fun, tried some of the tea from the scoby incubation jar, and man, I mean, it tastes ok, but WHOOF is it acidy. Could feel my tooth enamel.

@adr Canadians aren't as rigid about milk in tea as some of the other colonies are. I've never had milk tea, for example.
