this electrical device is a special sort of terrible: They labeled the polarity of the DC power jack, but not the voltage (or current, for that matter)
You put in your username, and it's like "hey, log in with a code to your phone, or a password!" and my password manager already filled the password, so I just hit continue.

Flying a Cessna Skyhawk low over Stoke-on-Trent and dropping "bibles" like I'm some sort of Christian missionary, but it turns out it's copies of Julia Serano's Whipping Girl, but they've been hollowed out and it's full of estrodiol valerate and cyproterone acetate
@molly0xfff annoyingly I've written about this before. It's solely because of people who have copies of the blockchain stored on offline/unplugged computers that wouldn't get fried.
But let it be known that if society falls, me and my gang of roving bdsm-core warriors will be finding and smashing every one of those computers.
@aburka@molly0xfff yeah. And most crucially, it'd provide a way for people to bring the blockchain back online once technological civilization is restored.
@terrygrundy oh hey! I've read this is actually a chemical thing: sheep wool contains lanolin oil, and so does the fur of nursing cats. So cats smell it and are like "why does this big fluffy thing smell like momma?"
You'll sometimes see cats sitting on top of sheep and kneading them, in exactly the way kittens do to encourage milk production!
Here's a weird question: so Dynix made a text-based library catalog system that used Wyse terminals, and they shipped them with custom keyboards. They had four keys above the numpad: one of these keys was Start Over/New Search.
Does anyone remember having used these terminals, and recall what those other keys were?
@freedosproject they make a mistake in metricizing the size of 3.5" disks: they were already metric! 5.25" and 8" were made by American companies, but 3.5" disks are by Sony, so they were designed in metric. They're 90mm disks.
