“You guys know where I’m going with all this, right?” -Giorgio, his hair beckoning

I’m sure you can still find a shop specializing in the traditional methods.

I love that Lemmy is building its own collection of epic moments.

There’s no swearing in the good place, obviously.

Yep, and not flossing can result in some funky breath that really travels.

If you saw 13.4 on-air and 13.1 off-air, and if you saw a channel resume material eventually, then it does sound to me like programming went dark while the transmitter was up and that content was, one way or another, missing. I imagine lots of possibilities. It might be interesting to see if anyone else reports on it as an outage.

Can we add brushing and flossing to this?

I don’t know why I thought this one was older. Wow!

My BS in CS took its roots down to CMOS composition of logic gates and basic EE, on the hardware side, and down to deriving numbers and arithmetic from Boolean logic / predicate calculus, on the philosophy side. Then tied those up together through the theoretical underpinnings of computation and problem solving, like a trunk, and branched back out into the various mainstream technologies that derived from all that. It obviously all depends on the program at the school of choice, I suppose, and I’m sure it’s evolved over the years, but it still seems important to have at least some courses that pull back the wizard’s curtain to ensure their students really see how it’s all just an increasingly elaborate, high-tech version of conceptually simple (in function) machinery carrying out fundamental building blocks of logic.

Anyway, I’m going to go sniff my own cinnamon roll scented farts while gazing in the mirror, now.

Also Ctrl-u to clear the command line.

You’re right. Not sure why you’d be down voted, other than if people found your conclusion a bit heavy.

I resist because I’m literate enough to know that “dove” is a bird that rhymes with “love”.

I’m at peace with balanced underscores (like “dunder name equals dunder main”) and the internal ones for snake case, but in the unbalanced ones (prefixing unders and dunders for pseudo-private) still bug me. But at least, conventionally, it’s visually the same idea as Hungarian notation.

“Abesede” is getting too close to “obesity”, but I think “Absedee” works. But yeah, people need to stop trying to use letters and symbols to replace the phonemes of that letter’s name.

That reminds me, I had a ride share driver named Blas, and I had to giggle and tell them about it.

Duolingo? Mine still has dark mode. Maybe just for subscriptions?

You’d have to cut off VPN, SSH, and proxies, too, and to stop a really slippery network person from getting around that, you’d have to inspect protocol, not just block ports.

Dirt!

I was just recommended a product called “Milorganite”, which is a soil product out of Milwaukee. They apparently ship it all over the US. People in, say, Florida are buying soil from Wisconsin.

There is just something really amazing about being able to communicate directly between two points on the planet by bouncing EM waves off layers of the atmosphere. Like, imagine two people hundreds of miles apart are shining flashlights (or torches, if you prefer) at the distant sky, just above the horizon, and seeing the sky glow from each other’s beams signaling each other. At the right frequencies and with the right conditions, certain atmospheric layer boundaries become reflective, like the boundary between air and water, so imagine that distant sky looks a little glossy up there, like water’s surface reflecting your beam.

But then run that light source through a machine that does that flickering signal fast enough to encode your voice in the pattern of flickering that’s glowing in the sky over someone else’s horizon.

That’s pretty closely analogous to what amateur (“ham”) radio operators are doing when they play with the HF range of the radio spectrum. The electronics are less sophisticated than cell phones, but our usual gadgets rely on many other devices to relay info across the Internet (which is also amazing, in a different way). Ham radio, on the other hand, is like a fancy version of talking through two cans on a string, sometimes up to thousands of miles apart, but using fast flash lights instead of string and cans.
