@Viss I’m guessing you’re hearing/feeling big booms nearby?

My family has a vacation cabin (being super generous with the description here) on the Chesapeake Bay across from Aberdeen Proving Ground. The house would shake on the days when they had live fire exercises.

@Viss I would send a note to the Pendleton PAO (or whatever the Marine Corps equivalent is). It is their job to be responsive to citizen feedback.

Imagine being as paint-huffingly stupid as Jack’s tweets here are just to not to have to admit what a capitalist cuck to Elon you’ve become. Bra-fucking-vo, Jack. 👏🏼 https://mstdn.social/@TechCrunch/112389556123080676

Be safe out there!

I had a near miss during this morning's ride - less than 100 feet from my home.

My back door faces the residential street that enters my development. On the other side is the parking lot of a strip mall. When riding, I always use the parking lot of the strip mall and the street light it provides as safer than trying to enter traffic from my own street - but people use our street as a way to avoid that street light when driving to the mall.

1st of May, a warm spring night here in the South Bay with the latest sunset of the year (so far), I wear my one pair of lululemon leggings to run an errand, and all of the boys are coming to my yard. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

the amount of attention given to saving Mint Butterfield compared to the attention given to saving other people on the street in the Tenderloin is telling.

@kingrat It's a sad story all around. But they've been found ok and an older man has been arrested in connection.

Back in the day, it was popular to use line printers to print out large (multiple sheets taped together) ASCII images to hang on walls and such. Some of these were very popular with us guys (keep in mind this was a heavily male-centric CS-era, even worse than now) and were NSFW -- but still ended up hanging in various places where they really shouldn't have been.

At the ARPANET site #1 lab at UCLA, we wanted some "Star Wars" posters. At the time, the only place I knew of with a potentially usable video digitizer (black and white, very low resolution by today's standards of course) was at the original Stanford AI Lab (SAIL / SU-AI).

So. A nationwide TV Star Wars special was coming up. This was my chance. I arranged with the gentleman who had the digitizer at SAIL to have it tuned to the appropriate local channel in Stanford at the correct time.

Then, from my bedroom here in L.A., over the ARPANET via my account on the SAIL / SU-AI system that controlled the digitizer, I grabbed various key images as I watched the same program locally.

Then, after the program was done, I FTP'd (file transferred) those files down to UCLA, where I had a UNIX program to create those ASCII posters.

Mission accomplished, thanks to the Defense Department's ARPANET!

Though this was fun stuff, a LOT was being learned about distributed systems and resources through these kinds of amusements.

I'm old enough to have witnessed some guy print out ASCII porn in the computer lab (where I was the only female) when I was in undergrad. :/

A few weeks ago, there was a weekend hackathon up here in SF. Someone tweeted a video of Sergey Brin answering a question at the hackathon, but the first shot of the video was of a guy asking Sergey a question wearing a t-shirt featuring naked female breasts.

Uproar ensued, and the organizers (who retweeted the video btw) said it wouldn't happen again as the guy was from out of town.

But in the year 2024, no one thought to tell the dude to knock it off.

@kkeller @lauren

I've been working in a majority male field, on mostly male dominated teams (more often than not, I'm usually the first female hire) and I've greatly enjoyed my career so far.

But with age, comes wisdom. In any setting, the jerks will come and go, but I do look for the allies.

It's nice and warm out, and the 2 new baby goats are really healthy, so they got to go out and meet their herdmates. (Their herdmates were EXTREMELY interested in meeting them, hilariously, especially the llama)

Many goats of different colours standing around in a farmyard, the giant fuzzy llama is standing behind a tiny brown horse and sniffing a tiny fuzzy white baby goat.

@flyingsaceur So, so sorry that got a big belly laugh from me (a person who has actually done some marketing activity with both orgs in a previous life).
