For work I use a database written in COBOL. Reports are simultaneously running and frozen until I either get the report results or sufficient time has passed that I'm certain the system has crashed.

I'm sure there's a LoRa somewhere, self-hosted is always the answer.

+1 for Gulikit sticks, I've revived five different sets of joycons for friends and family at this point. Install is a little fiddly but just go slow and don't let anything dangle.

So in the back of your eyeballs are special photo receptive bits called cones that you use to see color. There are three different kinds and they each detect red, green, or blue light. Using those three sets of wavelengths and the overlap between them your brain combines which cones are receiving light to make up all the other colors.

You might notice that pixels use those same colors. Once you back up enough it looks like each set of three pixels is actually a single point of light, so your brain combines the wavelengths into a single color.

If we're going to play that game, puffins are technically auks since they're also in the same family.

Also where I'm from we call those razorbills.

No, I'm not fun at parties.

Why choose one country? I'm selling everything and buying a boat.

This post made me think about Cooking Comically for the first time in about a decade.
