Justin Trudeau could cure cancer 6 days in a row and our pseudo-aristocracy would claim he was lazy on the 7th; or probably the cause to begin with.

Polievre - if he’s still the leader of the “no tax no benefits” American party this week - has no platform other than “Trudeau sucks” and the truck-nut Flatlanders just nod their head.

Sadly, they could take the election, and our hopes for decent hospital care go from “soon” to “never, plebe”. Fucking Texans.

“gee. Ya think?!?” – everyone

I got hit in college with a virus 30 years ago; a couple dozen of us, but they couldn’t figure out the common carrier that got us all. Anyway, the damage to the vestibular system was permanent and it was a month or two before I could cope.

The brain has a vestibulo-ocular reflex that picks up when the vestibular is out. It uses the eyes and the horizon as a backup/correction to the bad data from the vestibular. Can confirm it works really well.

… except when I’m really tired, like today. Bedspins while sober, and if I look up then I’m dizzy. It’s super-great. But it works to remind me I’m over-doing it, and it usually resolves after a few days of good rest. until then, I just have to be careful lest I walk a bit like a bat-spin player.

In short, ya get used to it.

Never common enough. We can always use one more.

There’s a cookie place that opened in a prime spot about 10m from my front door. It’s c$6 or maybe us$4. It’s already so much that I’ve only tried one.

Honestly, they’re ‘meh’ too. They’re a $2 cookie but not a $6 cookie.

I cannot imagine a us$20 cookie. Like, it needs to come with a free cheeseburger or something. :-D

It’s like how the panhandlers started blocking my way and requiring a toll payment to get to the subway.

Just like that.

It’s like my donation became a subscription.

I keep hoping someone will come up with a half-measure that looks like ipv4 with an extra octet and writable in hex.

• Let people stew a bit on their 00c0a8011f IP which is like a 192.168.1.31 IP.
• increment the big number. Oh shit, we’ve got lots.
• repeat
• start adding the cool parts of ipv6
• moar
• add a 00 to the end that old shit just skips
• somewhere in there, switch the engine

We can either take yeeeears to do it well, or we can take more decades to try and big-bang it. This ain’t 1983.

Gaslighting them into thinking it didn’t

That implies they knew.

a huge ask

No, it’s a huge request. This isn’t a used car lot.

And after so many decades, many abusers are just dead now.

I’m told that the time it takes a polar bear to discover, stalk, hunt, kill and partially devour you is on the order of 10 minutes.

Most people do not survive a polar bear passing them in the bush.

It’s both cool and sad that you could interact and give witness to a species before its inevitable collapse.

Mainly sad.

In December '94 I was running through Banff at a speed that was ridiculous for winter driving even before we consider it was a white '91 geo metro and 1am in a snowstorm.

And there it was. But, night-zoned and lulled by the hyperspace homage in snowflakes lit by the headlights, the first thing I saw was just a series of knees.

“Oh fuckfuckfuck,” said my brain to itself as I executed a classic Moose Check maneuvre at an ungodly rate of speed in absolutely unsuitable conditions, missing the moose by a distance smaller than the amount of caring our conservative political candidate really has for the plebes he wants to manage for fun and profit.

After an interminable series of fishtails from trying to straighten up after going nearly sideways on the slippery roads in the blizzardy dark in a frightenly remote part of the highways, in a car that wouldn’t be seen in the ditch or ravine by searchers or passers-by until some later Spring, I managed through luck and wordless appeals to a capricious god to straighten the attitude of the car and keep it on the roadway.

And my future wife woke up in the passenger seat and asked what was going on, sleepily wondering why the turns are so sharp and why I’m cursing.

“It’s fine; but I saw a moose back there. Really close, too!”

No. I am Spartacus.

I’m running ZFS at two jobs and my homelab.

Terabytes and terabytes. Usually presented to the hypervisor as a lun and managed on the VM itself.

I don’t run proxmox, though. Some ldoms, some esx, soon oVirt.

Didn’t one politician this year try to stand up to AIPAC and end up losing to an incredibly well-funded opponent? If so it would definitely have a chilling effect.

Are you me?

This guy wouldn’t use an S to pluralize “e-mail”. The UK school system didn’t leave children behind.
