UPS battery failed and I found out the hard way…

@rasterweb Beware of modal behaviors where one mode is only used in exceptional circumstances. UPSs, backups, surge queues, load shedding, etc.

@joshmillard I wouldn’t be surprised, given cannabis legalization, if something like this didn’t happen every. Single. Day.

I reckon there’s probably a fine line between committing to the bit, and starting to get muted by followers.

What do you call a website with no block-level organization?

A way out West, there’s this fella. Fella I wanna tell you about. Fella by the name of Ted Kaczynski. At least that’s the handle his lovin’ parents gave him, though he wasn’t too well known by it. This Kaczynski, the FBI called him The Unabomber. Now, “Unabomber…” that’s not a name the lawman would apply where I come from, but then, there’s a lot about the Unabomber that didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me.

The place he lived, likewise. They call Berkeley “The People’s Republic.” I didn’t find it to be that, exactly, though I’ll allow there’s some nice folks there. Course I ain't never been to London, and I ain't never seen France. And I ain't never seen no queen in her damned undies, so the feller says.

But I'll tell you what - after seeing Berkeley, and this here story I'm about to unfold, well, I guess I seen somethin' every bit as stupefyin' as you'd seen in any of them other places. And in English, too.

Sometimes there’s a man… I won’t say political philosopher, cause what’s a political philosopher? Some times there’s a man… and I’m talkin’ about the Unabomber here… sometimes there’s a man… well, he’s the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that’s the Unabomber, in Berkeley.

jimfl,
@jimfl@hachyderm.io avatar

@redscroll besides, I done inter-duced him enough.

jimfl,
@jimfl@hachyderm.io avatar

And even if he’s a misguided man, and the Unabomber was certainly that—quite possibly the most misguided man in Almeda county. …which would place him high in the runnin’ for most misguided worldwide—but sometimes there’s a man… Sometimes there’s a man…

Wul… I lost my train of thought here

Scene: Bowling alley

Donny: Hot damn! I’m throwing rocks tonight! Mark it, Dude.

Theodore: It may be that existentialism is in large part a response to the purposelessness of modern life.

Dude: Yeah, it really tied the room together.

Theodore: Very widespread in modern society is the search for “fulfillment.”

Donny: What tied the room together, Dude?

Just appreciating the cover of Electricity for Everyone (1897) https://www.weberrarebooks.com/product/134297/Electricity-for-Everybody-Its-Nature-and-Uses-Explained

@overholt Two things of note on this cover: the periods on the title and author, and the misspelling of “everyone”

jimfl,
@jimfl@hachyderm.io avatar

@overholt I picked up the other one. Teamwork makes the dream work.

@jimfl@hachyderm.io avatar

@overholt And, yes I did try to shop the title to convincingly read "EVERYONE" again, but these primitive tools combined with my skills were not equal to the task.

You know you’ve met a kindred spirit from your generation of computer dweeb when they sit down at your computer and say “Greetings, programs” out loud, and “End of line” right before they get up.

All without the merest trace of irony.

just realized i've had the mollywhite.net domain for over 10 years(!!)

related sneak peek into an upcoming piece: i firmly believe that if you're going to spend money on one thing online it should be a domain, particularly as online identity gets more fragmented. as platforms come and go, you can always find me there.
