Broke a tool handle and no stores nearby have it. Shipping for this kind of thing costs more than the item. #grousing #capitalism #needCoffee #probablyJustMakeOne

Finally got my NC mountain area people on the actual telephone. They're fine, at the public library by day (7:30pm curfew). They have enough solar/battery hacked together to run a small fridge and they think they have enough water until FEMA hook up (maybe Friday). Non-perishable grocery supplies are good. They in turn had contact with other scattered folks. I offered to 4x4 in beer and chainsaws and they declined (for now). #NC #Helene

Oh good I wanted a way to combine #AI #bitcoin and #BOINC. This feels really icky for a lot of reasons before I even get to the Skynet birthing vibes

@XSGeek come to think of it, back then so did I. That was in CRT times though when the light source was brighter and harsher.
All that staring into CRTs probably aged our eyes quite a bit

@XSGeek speaking of which, the Law of the Design Pendulum* says this will make a big comeback soon: https://frutiger-aero.org/frutiger-aero

@gshevlin Joyce is about to make a steep righthand turn and gtfo. 🙏

@Beanc yes

@TetsuKaba Laura Lee who authored that article, "...received her master’s in journalism from the University of Maryland and her bachelor’s degree in political science and J.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill."

Talk about bringing a tank to a knife fight. Also, *stares at NC's lieutenant governor*

@AnnetteTRemain I have to use Slack, and it's just bloated IRC.

@AnnetteTRemain also, c'mon, if we scratch Slack or Discord what do you think we'll see under the veneer

@AnnetteTRemain Still use IRC, what's your point? 🤣

@th3j35t3r Shows how insidious and deep the conspiracies are that NASA can't land on the moon but _can_ simulate a star. Is there something in the water at Mt. Shasta? This guy, Dane Wigington, has a lot more batcrap crazy where that came from. I'm not posting links b/c he lives on exposure -- do your own research ;-)

@gshevlin All of Rodanthe, in fact most of Hatteras. It's a sandbar, that's moving inland an inch a year. Attempt no construction here...

@tyghebright I saw, "Past this point is sacred land. No one will find your body"

@estherschindler Seeing books organized by color (mentioned there) just _kills_ me but I'm not gonna kink shame.
Besides Amanda Gorman does it so what do I know.

Stories that get zero press coverage and actually impact the existence of humankind:
