Good morning. I had a dream that Trump dropped out of the race, and J.D. Vance became the GOP nominee. I woke up sweating. We traded a completely incompetent scumbag for a marginally competent scumbag. It felt so real. It is something we’d do. You know I’m right. Be afraid.

@shoq The one thing I'll say is Trump is too much of a narcissist for this to be likely. He wouldn't drop out of the race, even if it meant his party as a whole had better odds. Because he really doesn't care about his party, or anyone else.

Are there any films or TV shows thay you found interesting but don't necessarily want to revisit?

@robotwig @Adam_Cadmon1 +1 Requiem for a Dream and Oldboy. I haven't gotten to the others but those two were both worth a viewing. Exactly. One. Viewing.

Hailing frequencies open: Hey - can anyone illuminate me on if the Voyager finale will be done in one episode or two? I watched the first half this morning but will hold off a week on the rest if the matching pod will as well. @GreatestTrek

@howiecohen @GreatestTrek If I understand the way its listed in I think they are going to do it as one ep. I'm prepared to be corrected though.

I thought 'Oh, a silly grammar cock-up that makes for a fun local news story'. Then I read the first line. I won't spoil the surprise but maybe make sure there's no-one close when you yell 'OH FOR FU...'

@Kaiyalai Wish I had something to offer here. My company is tiny, and TBH if we were hiring I'm not sure I'd be recruiting for us anyway. Not until we unf*cked some things.

Is there an industry you're trying to get into?

I've been staying up too late reading the second book in the 3 Body series.

Although the concepts in the first book are epic, the second book feels more action-packed and exciting. It's not all talking characters, but stuff is happening. It makes me want to keep reading to find out more.

@Q I've been meaning to start this series. Sounds like a good read.

In my house, there is a door in the kitchen that goes to the basement stairs. We put a cat door in it, and a fancy one at that. It has switches so that you can control which directions the cats can move. We needed this because our 3-year-old cat Janet wants to play, and 8-year-old Phoebe does not, so Janet ends up in time out to give Phoebe a break. It took Janet MONTHS to figure out the door as a concept. This week she figured out the switches and time-out is no more.

@night_chrono @Bridgemakes They also have them that can be keyed to the cats microchips if they have them:

@mikey@friendsofdesoto.social avatar

@night_chrono @Bridgemakes Those units, while expensive, can be programmed with I think up to 80 unique chip IDs . I don't know how complicated the process is. I also know they have collars that replace the chip IDs. You could possibly add and remove IDs to decide when kitties are allowed through and when they are not.

So it turns out that most everyone that works on my contract is in their 20's. Occasionally a song will come on the radio that they consider old and they all start talking about how they used to listen to it as children.

Then they try to engage me in their conversation and I feel ancient.

@Bridgemakes If it's any consolation you're working with people the age of some of my children... Now where did I put that aspercreme...

@rmhogervorst @Bridgemakes I mean is there anywhere else to do a truly dangerous experiment?

(No really, is there? I've got some hella unstable isotopes and I just assumed the only place to play with them was right next to the dilithium chamber)

mikey,
@mikey@friendsofdesoto.social avatar

@Bridgemakes @rmhogervorst I can neither confirm, nor deny any correlation between these events...

Also, why were you cooking targ in the intermix chamber... Never mind I don't think I want the answer to that question.

@Bridgemakes @rmhogervorst Right. What was I thinking. Carry on.

Or Gul Dukat

@NickGates I'm surprised everyone is choosing bear. I've seen Dukat get his ass kicked regularly. I don't see anyone here besting a bear hand to hand...

Using your face or thumbprint to unlock your phone is convenient, but courts may grant less legal protection to biometrics. EFF’s Andrew Crocker spoke to @Gizmodo about passwords and the Fifth Amendment. https://gizmodo.com/stop-using-your-face-or-thumb-to-unlock-your-phone-1851438205

@argv_minus_one Not a widespread option, but @GrapheneOS offers PIN scramble. Each time the PIN screen is offered the numbers are in different positions. Reeks havoc with muscle memory, but once you're used to it it's not that difficult.
