As a species, we can't reach a unanimous belief that the Earth is round but we have nuclear weapons.

@chronomyst
FWIW, the people who have access to the nuclear weapons (in general, at least) are not the ones who doubt the roundness. So far, anyway.

So, what's up with idiots having bullets in their luggage when they go to Turks and Caicos? How stupid do you have to be to do this, especially if you're the fucking fifth one in the past few weeks? They didn't even have guns. Just fucking bullets. And not all of them were men! There were a couple women too. Lock 'em up.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with a slightly (19%) increased risk of heart failure up to 20 years after diagnosis https://www.byteseu.com/128718/

@byteseu
Seeing as how it’s been 56 years since I was diagnosed I guess I’m overdue. We also have a 10% increased chance of getting bowel cancer, and it goes up another percent or so every year. Maybe I’m just lucky. Good times.

I hope they can carve out something like allowing parents to opt in for their kids to get a book. My parents told the librarians when I was 7 years old I could sign out any book I wanted. This was in 1957.

I got to use my jail bag today!

I live near Bathurst jail. I used to live across the corner from it, but now we've moved about 10 minutes away.

While we lived across the corner I'd often see people released from the jail and start the 50 minute walk down to the station as they were just dumped back into society with less and less assistance or support in place. I'd often pop out the front door and ask of they wanted a lift, a number of times they'd say yes and I'd drive them down to the station (and once to Lithgow because he missed the train). People who do their time at Bathurst have been shipped in from all over the state, and are expected to just be able to get home again.

They also all carry their belongings in a clear plastic baggie the jail has given them, and everyone here knows if someone is carrying that bag they've just been released.. and a lot of people treat them like shit.

I started keeping a reusable shopping bag in my car to give them instead of using the clear baggie. Then I started stocking the bag with some essentials (masks, soap, socks, deodorant, snacks, drink, water, crossword book, pen, etc), so they might have a bit of comfort on their journey home.

Today I drove past the jail after dropping my housemate to work, and there was a guy standing at the bus stop with a clear baggie, so I asked if he wanted a lift to the station and gave him my jail bag.

He's excited to get home and see his dog after 16 months.

Guess no one cares about those Jan.6th bombs.

@StillIRise1963
It’s really amazing what with all the surveillance and especially the ubiquity of social media and the general inability of people to keep their mouths shut about anything they’ve done, that nothing has come out about this.
I forget—were the bombs actually found or was there just video of somebody carrying them? You’d think there’d be DNA on them if they were actually found.

qurlyjoe,
@qurlyjoe@mstdn.social avatar

@StillIRise1963
Then all the more suspicious that DNA didn’t reveal anything.

Mine is that there’s a Russian spy they want to keep track of without revealing that he/she is blown.
Alternatively, it was either Eric or Jr.

I am being a good little programmer and adding docstrings to some Elixir code. I hate looking at it. It so gets in the way of the code; see below.

I want an keypress that hides all lines between two regexps (One for @…doc…”””; one for the ending “””.) Weirdly, I can’t find anything. I used to be good at Elisp/Emacs programming, but I pretty much stopped doing that around 30 years ago. So looking for something similar I can hack on (or package that obviates the need to).

Any pointers?

TBH, I switched to support in ‘92 cuz I knew Y2K was coming and did not want to be a COBOL programmer for that. Coulda made bank for sure, but nope. Not my idea of fun. That was also a lesson from liberal arts, of course. Fun is good. Fun is good for you. Do more fun, live longer and happier. Retired now. Fun has slowed down some, but I’m not bored.
