almost no use in service, just old. Like I think I got it from the Intel employee store right before I quit there and went to Cray.

I have a system I am not using I could pull a 1TB one out of. That said it is old so while better than buying new it probably is worse than other options if you have any.

The whole power structure where I work is essentially based on who is allowed to make who anxious about what and it's fucked up.

I'm like unexpected snowfall has messed up business travel to where I am which means I get to abscond with the extra box lunches (if they are good)

the gardens are kinda out of season now is all I think

There is the Rhododendron Garden as well, the Rose Garden, Powell's world of books and Multnomah falls..

Thing is, the Democrats are on average substantially older than the Republicans.

I'm tired of, as they say, these fuckers ordering for the table when they be about to leave the restaurant.

If one reads all the Dr Doolittle books, Clifford Stoll's "The Cuckoo's Egg", and Penrose's "The Emperor's New Mind" all before puberty and go with that theme, one gets to a certain place.

There's a pattern of, well, people themselves sitting outside the US and reposting this stuff for 'awareness' or whatever and with some regret I've had to decide, no, I can't have this flying by on my feed.

Now I am looking for sweater patterns that are like the motif on the left. It'll be a while before I am up to doing cable knits but ... goals....

And I do definitely knit....

As furry robot, working where I do and being cognizant of the industrial revolution a couple hundred years ago - specifically as how it showed up in fiber to fabric manufacturing and how that changed the social relationship to clothing and goods generally, knitting is intensely political.

So I watched Robin Hood at FC for the first time in like damn near 40 year because I didn't want to stand in the stupid line for the other thing, and the impressions were 1) it is even hornier than I remember and 2) dang I don't like the Good King ?! Richard back from the Crusades ?! ending.

screenshot of press release from four nations with their logos: Tla’amin Nation; Homalco Nation; K'ómoks Nation; Klahoose Nation. March 11, 2026 Chiefs from four First Nations communities are urging the public to please approach Aaron Gunn with no caution whatsoever. He is completely harmless, though momentarily unsettled by the alarming possibility that someone might acknowledge the land before a meeting. Yesterday on social media, the MP appeared to crash out and demand to speak to the manager of land acknowledgements, a position that observers confirm does not exist. Chiefs whose territories make up the riding had two words for the MP - Chillax, Bud. Land acknowledgements have never seized private property, cancelled a mortgage, repossessed a pickup truck, or altered a single title deed anywhere in Canada. They are simply people recognizing the history of the place where they are standing. No one is going anywhere. Canada will survive the brief moment of honesty. Until then, Chiefs across the region continue to reassure the public that land acknowledgements have not, to date, resulted in any land back. Hegus John Hackett, Tla’amin Nation Chief Darren Blaney, Homalco Nation Chief Nicole Rempel, K'ómoks Nation Chief Kevin Peacey, Klahoose Nation

It's a part of the crab barrel mentality. Even if things suck it is, possible, to do something to make it suck in some ways a little bit less.

whattabout hocks, fetlocks, pasterns, and the whole-ass stay apparatus?

no they are from the *allegedly subsidised* Puget Sound campus food hall cafeteria and they are somehow undercooked and overcooked at the same time and cold and leathery and cost $3.49

This would fix me

What about extra chips, essential for burrito overflow management.

I guess I know what I am doing on the 29th...!

I haven't ever published one but maybe I ought to do so...

Yep, and that fundamental mistake persists in many discussions today.

I'd read Penrose first so I was very aware of the hidden assumptions surfaced by this whole line of argument.
