Someone nominated me for Secretary of the Faculty -- the person who takes minutes at faculty meetings and therefore has to associate names with faces.

@mrcompletely It would be even better if one of the equations involved his symbol.

I read a programming language textbook by a Dr. Scott, who included an example involving Brad and Janet.

Just noticing that it looks like the @arstechnica account stopped posting here about a month ago.

@MichaelPorter @internic @arstechnica I'm not seeing them either. Is this a #qoto problem? @freemo

@MichaelPorter @internic @arstechnica @freemo I believe they're posting, but for whatever reason they're not propagating to qoto -- see attached Tusky screenshot.

Qoto has been undergoing a prolonged upgrade, leaving some basic features broken for over a month.

So, when I was growing up, students at my high school described the devil horns hand gesture—i.e. 🤟or 🤘, sometimes 🤙—using the word “boggs.” It was used essentially the entire time I was in school by most of the male student body, and I have no idea why they described it with this word. I have never heard it beyond my high school days.

Does anyone know why “boggs” was associated with this symbol?

The charging port cover on my plug-in hybrid won't open unless the key fob is nearby, presumably to prevent ne'er-do-wells with surgical tubing from siphoning out my electricity.
