Well... it means I was (and fyi still am) the kind of rube that is on fixed salary but works way more than 9-5 M-F

But at least I do it in my PJ's at home

IMO it's a nice middle ground between a typical Linux system where every app you run has access to everything else you run, vs a system like Qubes where every app is locked down in its own VM

He stepped into a political minefield and did a reasonably good job of pointing out some unfortunately too-common offensive and racist positions from an academic discipline and institution that both frankly need to do better.

Given the politics of the present situation, he would have done well to suggest concrete alternatives for a Junteenth recognition that better promotes an inclusive, tolerant society -- and his concrete plan for making that happen, using which Gubernatorial powers (beyond diktat).

I know I'm asking a lot but, he's already made at least one rookie mistake.

LibreWolf saved the spirit of firefox. Screw the Mozilla Board of Grifters. They could have just provided hosting for open source solutions/VPNs and sell lots of swag maybe host an actually good podcast ... but no, they leaned into selling user data WTF

Interesting, that dynamic is in line with the 'radiator' theory of human brain evolution.

From a more recent article:

the shift to an aerobic, hunter-gatherer lifestyle in early Homo, including long-distance running, exerted selection pressures that favored both increased endurance and enhanced brain growth

Edit: ... so, we're not batteries. We're cooling fins.

Questions are piling up about whether a region nicknamed "Flash Flood Alley" should have done more to prepare for Friday's deluge [...] "It's very tough to make those calls," Rice said.

Quite the mic drop. But wait:

Texas officials have suggested that the National Weather Service (NWS) didn't adequately warn them

hampered by the Trump administration's cuts to the federal workforce, which cost the NWS nearly 600 workers earlier this year

I do vaguely wonder how this stuff is spun by the Pravda-level propaganda that MAGA consumes.
