Not quite 5 days.

I had a bulged lumbar disc but all the pain was in my knee so I thought I had done something to my patella. I couldn’t get in to see my doc so I was just trying to make my knee comfortable, which was impossible because it was an inflamed nerve. Then finally I was crawling back into bed for one more try to sleep and something about how I moved shifted the bulge and the pain went away. Maybe 30 seconds later I was hard asleep.

This was in the 90s and one of the local stations played reruns of Gilligan’s Island from 2:00 am until the news started at 5:30. I watched so many episodes… but I’m fine (⊙_⊙)

Thank you.

Anything Biden does with a click of his fingers Trump could undo as easily. But that is irrelevant since this would be in violation of the constitution. Even the mega-dangerous “the supreme court said the president is king” argument doesn’t hold up because this breaks one of the 2 guardrails (must be constitutional) in their ruling.

Biden almost certainly won’t do anything like this.

Biden can’t do this. States have most of the control over how their elections run. For anything like this to be pushed by the Fed it would take a constitutional amendment which requires congress to approve followed by 2/3rds of states to ratify. Stop blaming administrations for not being criminal, it just grants the criminal administrations cover.

If Dr Spaceman was real, you know he’d be in the running. That or he’d be the guy in the WH giving out pills like he’s the candy shop guy from Willy Wonka.

Postdocs, here’s an idea for your next grant topic. Do groups of gulls have food trends?

“Ugh, fast food french fries are so 2022. We’re all doing kettle chips now.” - Trendy Gull.

I don’t think I can answer since equating to a font would indicate of consistency or repeatability that doesn’t exist.

I’m in my 40’s and I still can’t decide if I prefer writing a 7 with the crossbar though it of not. Of if I should draw a 4 like a triangle on a stick or a poorly made box.

Not that I’m aware of, but it would be nice.

I have a locally hosted invidious instance but increasingly I’m finding most of the creators I watch are on Nebula. I just recently discovered that Rifftrax has a presence there.

Satisfactory recently took over my free time. ALL of it.

Otherwise I have coding projects, CAD/printing projects, electronics projects, D&D session planning, and (of course) Lemmy/Mastodon.

but… what’s the left cookie supposed to be?

My only comfort is that the rat is facing the other direction.

Sometimes I think the internet needs an Alec symbol to shine anytime Technology Connections needs to be invoked.

I imagine it would be like the bat signal, but look like hand painted LED Christmas lights or something.

The ocean around Japan is also what gave the world the sea bunny. Cute abounds!

Sad story. The poor otter heard about the Crab Nebula and went for a feast. But it got as far as Eagle, and realized it made a terrible mistake. All the crabs are back home!

Right now the DEA is not going after state marijuana because of a memo issued during the Obama administration. That can be revoked at any time.

Also how many were false positives?

I haven’t done much image generation but I’ve had a couple times when LLMs have rejected one of my prompts because it sounds sketchier than it is. I don’t remember specifics but it would amount to something like, “I can’t get this motor up to full RPMs, how do I kill the governor?”

My wife has a stack of 9 mostly finished quilts that just need bindings and thread burying, all set to get finished and given out between now and the end of the year.

As of yesterday the stack is down to 8 because the lap quilt destined for my workstation is currently getting its binding.

Fun fact: discs can herniate multiple times even after you’ve shrunk half an inch in height and think all the cream has been squeezed out from between the cookies.

Deno2 and typescript. For no particular reason the release of Deno2 has prompted me to build a web app in my spare time. I mostly a sysadmin, I haven’t written anything but APIs and utility scripts for at least 5 years.
