I was going to ask you where you found this, hoping to credit the creator.

But then, I realized the dancer looked familiar! So, I looked up one of my favorite videos, and yes! It’s her! 😂

She made one of the funniest & most creative things I have ever seen: 🤣

Microsoft’s new “Recall” feature will record everything you do on your PC

Recall uses Copilot+ PC features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."

They make a point of saying they will not "use them for targeting advertisements". But I assume they eventually will use them for that! (Probably deep in some ToS change.) 🙄

Holy shit. Thanks @pluralistic now I don't want to fly anymore 😱

Boeing's 787 "Dreamliner" is manufactured ... in a non-union shop in Charleston, South Carolina. At that shop, there is a cage full of defective parts that have been pulled from production because they are not airworthy.

Hundreds of parts from that Material Review Segregation Area (MRSA) were secretly pulled from that cage and installed on aircraft that are currently flying the world's skies.

PSA: (and a question). and pulled two ticks off the kid after a hike in Gatineau park. And you NEED to check all of the little ones, especially parts of genitalia you can’t just visibly check. Both of these dots are ticks but unsure what kind. Does anyone know if there is a drop off location to get these tested? Lymes disease is shit and the risk increases a LOT after 24-36 hrs attached

@AndrewHenry

A friend who is a doctor (and is NOT anti-vaxx) explained the problem with Lyme vaccine:

The Lyme bacteria itself does not do most of the damage. It hides in joints and nerves, and resembles those tissues. When the antibodies attack, they can't tell the difference and attack the body itself.

The quicker the antibiotic, the less antibodies you have to make, the better.

So the vaccine is just the damaging antibodies, without getting infected! 😯

@grivettcarnac @futurebird

@5ciFiGirl@starbase80.wtf avatar

@AndrewHenry

This is rather different than most vaccines.

(And also why a second infection is worse than the first.)

@forgottrek@friendsofdesoto.social avatar

Something I've noticed about #TheExpanse is how YOUNG it casts the lower, enlisted and/or conscripted soldiers in the respective #mcrn and #unn navies.

I appreciate it, makes it feel less idealized and more grounded.

5ciFiGirl,
@5ciFiGirl@starbase80.wtf avatar

@forgottrek

This! One hundred percent!!! 👏

There is so much hope, and people striving to be better, and to build something better! And also conflicts where all parties feel they are doing what is fundamentally right, from their own perspective!

For the story and people to feel more real, does not take away from any of that... it just makes it even more powerful!!! 😎

5ciFiGirl,
@5ciFiGirl@starbase80.wtf avatar

@forgottrek

I think the "less idealized and more grounded" applies to The Expanse for a lot more reasons! 😎

(While still being imaginative and fantastic! 😀)

    Looks like I will be without internet for longer than I thought. 😮

    I have to ration my mobile data. I will check in here when I can, but I will definitely miss things. 😯

    Feel free to @ me, or send a DM, if there is something you think I should see. I may not see it right away, but that way I won't miss it when I come back! 🙂

    Hopefully it will be fixed sooner than later! 🤞 :firepuff_pallas:

    So, my ISP was borked. Turns out, the easiest solution was to walk to the nearby Verizon store, and sign up for 5G wireless home internet! 😆

    They sent me home with a working device on the spot! 🙌 😅

    Talking to customer service on a Saturday night, about a billing issue.

    Me: Also, I have this problem with your website. describes problem

    Her: That is quite impossible. That can't happen.

    Me: Well, it's happening now.

    Me: Maybe this is a computer problem, not billing. Can I reach a computer help department?

    Her: No problems have been reported with our website. So that will not be necessary.

    Me: This is me, reporting a problem with your website. Can you tell me how to reach a computer help department?

    Her: No problems have been reported with our website.

    Me: head-desk

    Saw a trend started by @AndorianSoup & @richard.
    Ranking TV shows! I don't usually do lists, but here's mine! 😎

    There are lots of great things that didn't make this list, plus the order is fluid:

    Plus an honorable mention, because it's a movie not TV. 😉

    @lothcat

    Kiki's is a good one too! 😎

    The rest of my favorites:

    Spirited Away! An exquisite work of art, and is special to me as the 1st one I saw. 😊

    I also love 'Castle in the Sky', and even 'The Castle of Cagliostro'! (What is it with castles?!? 😆 )

    Do you know anything about his newest one? 🤔 Isn't it coming out ... nowish?? 😯

    5ciFiGirl,

    @lothcat

    My top 3 are :

    • Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
    • My Neighbor Totoro
    • Howl's Moving Castle

    I love all 3 equally and could never rank them. 💖

    But they are all different genres, so Nausicaä is definitely my favorite sci-fi movie! 😊
