Me, super enthused to be 55 today.

(Spoiler: I am actually having a pretty good day)

@scalzi I got 59 yesterday. Went for a 30 mile bike ride.

No opinion on number 50, otherwise they’re all good.

How to know your DVD player is too old:

  1. All the DVDs are playing in sepia tone. (Not kidding.)
  2. You still own a DVD player.

I have to say, I don't even remember how old this thing was, but the Mrs felt kind of judged when she wanted to watch her Pride and Prejudice tonight.

Today’s looking like a great day to ride out to Purcelleville for barbecue and ice cream. Mid-80s, sunny, light breeze.

The Danny Westneat of economics bloggers thinks he’s great despite the absurd autocratic tech fascist cosplay. https://newrepublic.com/article/180487/balaji-srinivasan-network-state-plutocrat

This article is just wild and yet another reminder that the top folks “in tech” are often not wise, thoughtful or caring.

Hurt my back somehow. Don't know what happened, just woke up yesterday and cannot bend or twist it without excruciating pain. Didn't do any unusual exercise or lifting, didn't feel it go, just woke up & found I couldn't do my normal exercises.

I am reading The Spice Must Flow by Ryan Britt which is a kind of loving fan history of the Dune books and media. In it, I learn Herbert got $2,295 for the serialized first part of the first book published in Analog. That’s like $22k today and wow.

So many fun details about the two attempts to make the book into a film before Lynch’s — and before Star Wars. I only knew about Jodorowsky’s which sounds like it would have gone poorly even if visually amazing.

@r343l

I think you’re the only person I know who loves the Lynch Dune. People like me who read and loved the book before seeing the movie came out of the theater saying “What the f was that?” and people who hadn’t read the book came out of the theatre saying “What the f was that?”

@ucblockhead @r343l

The SyFfy miniseries was good and the miniseries of Children of Dune is very good. Well, the casting and acting was very good. The production values, well, I watched it a couple weeks ago on my hdtv and hi def does it no favors. Acting is still really good though.

@ucblockhead @r343l

You can get the blu ray of both miniseries from Amazon.

(And this is why I buy physical media.)

My immunization titers just came back! I am not immune to mumps and rubella!

I've actually wondered about this! A few years ago, I read that MMR vaxs given during certain years of the early 70s have not been giving lifetime immunity. It seems I received those vaccines!

Gotta make an appointment for my MMR. This is actually nerdy immunity fun!

@Stacky

There was a vaccine released in 1968 that CDC decided needed a booster a few years ago. I got my booster when I joined the Army.

Ads are the most effective way to monetize a large scale consumer service. Companies like Perplexity & Discord who brag about how they’ll never run ads only to quietly update their narrative when investors ask for revenue growth just end up looking silly.

ZIRP is over. Get your bag.

That’s more a question for individual instances though. Mastodon itself is just protocols.
