A painting of a scene from my work-in-progress novel Sailor for the Second Dusk. Three spacer pirates stop to scavenge supplies from what they think is an ancient derelict station, but soon find it was destroyed far more recently than they thought. Among these spacers is the main character, who is still getting used to his suit...
The problem is it isn’t just data backups, it’s that one’s email is the backing account for many other accounts online either as a TFA or as the username for some site.
I am still working full-time remote. There are definitely some social aspects of going to the office I miss, but I really don't miss the commute or the shitty office politics. Overall I feel I am still more productive from home and happier overall.
Still 100% remote, and have been for over three years (software engineer). And even before covid, I was often doing hybrid roles. I work so much better remotely.
My current company is trying to press for "5% travel" to have people attend the idiotic on-site meetings, but they haven't forced me to do it
Might quit my job soon (for other reasons). I'm committed to staying fully remote even if it makes my job search harder (which it undoubtedly will).
I'll keep this short and sweet. Some random guy on the internet compiled together and summarized a bunch of climate research papers analyzing global trends and a bunch of different slow actors that are all going to kick in soon like the permafrost in Russia or the polar ice caps etc....
It’s tough. You’re having a rational response to a difficult future. But there are things you can do to at least help your peace of mind. Take news breaks. Meditate. Reflect on the things you are grateful for.
Isn't there also something where a magazine mod/owner can add hashtags to be associated with their magazine, and then Microblog will fill with Mastodon posts hitting those hashtags?
Although I have played and enjoyed some of the crunchier games out there, sometimes they just start to feel more exhausting than fun. I've also found it hard to get players to buy into games where you have 20+ different questions/choices during character creation....
Exactly right. Authoritarian regimes are all about presenting an image of control and power. We've now seen chinks in the armor. Prigozhin was able to take two 1-million population cities in mere hours, and get a deal to back down. This shows Putin's weakness. Russia is less a traditional nation state and more a loose coalition of mafia crime bosses. People thinking that this is over or settled because Prigozhin backed down are mistaken.

Yes, it's definitely "grazing practices" that are the problem

How many of you are still working full-time remote and how is it going? If not, why not? Was the decision made by you to go back to the office or did your employer decide for you?

What animal or insect going extinct would have the greatest impact on the ecosystem?
Curious on some replies here. I always hear having bees go extinct would be horrible for us. Curious if that’s the worse?

A quick bug-dense hike on Mt. Seymour this morning to Goldie Lake. Still a surprising amount of snow for late June on the trails.
