The European Commission has had enough of Musk's deadbird site -- at least enough to stop paying him for the privilege of swimming in a toxic waste dump -- and people are talking about that.
Which reminds me:
Please don't beat up on people who leave that toxic place, even if you believe, however righteously, that they should have left long ago.
They're doing the right thing now. Thank them, and encourage others to do the same.

Inventory Tetris with roguelike exploration and combat Backpack Hero is out now
Just released out of Early Access is Backpack Hero, an intoxicating mixture of backpack sorting that feels like a Tetris shapes sorting-puzzle game with roguelike turn-based combat and exploration that's a thoroughly odd but terribly fun blend.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
I am totally addicted to this game, special attention has been paid to item balancing, it is possible to build very different builds on each run. And the story mode allows you to discover the mechanics¹ and subtleties of the game gradually.
¹ For example, in story mode, there is no question of mana at the start (so no magic item), nor of hast (a very powerful mechanic for those who master it).

I listen to this album pretty regularly, and I think it's great, but only today discovered that they put out a 20th anniversary edition with a couple extra tracks, including this one.
P.S. I'm aware of Steve's documented shitty behaviour as a person so I'm focusing on the music here.

I fully switched to Firefox a few months ago when Google kept on pushing their "Manifest V3" Chrome policy, now that they continue to push it and remove V2 (and with it meaningful adblockers) from Chrome in 2024 maybe you want to start migrating as well?
developer.chrome.com/en/blog/r…
Don't go to Brave btw. It's a shit company that keeps doing shady stuff and is run by a homophobe. There are so many browsers, just pick one. (Whether other Chromium-based browsers will keep an interface for effective customization for users around is for you to research. Just use Firefox TBH).

3. Ireland 🇮🇪 is part of the EU 🇪🇺, and the land border and freedom of movement with the UK 🇬🇧 proved to be a tricky point to resolve in Brexit negotiations.
The "border" itself is 499km long with about 300 crossings, often entirely unmarked.

4. One famous example of border oddness is "the Drummully Polyp", an Irish 🇮🇪 pene-exclave.
The only road access is via Northern Ireland 🇬🇧.

I’ve done this before. It’s a lot of fun!
Over ten days you pick an image from a film without any title to give away where it is from, so that people can guess. You can also nominate others to do the same. That way more people are in on the game! (or not--your choice 😀 )

This happened at our station. A retiring engineer advised the chief engineer that a key part of the satellite controller needed to be replaced.
The chief engineer ignored him.
The part failed, leaving us no way to steer the satellite dish. So we had to spend considerably more routing ALL of our satellite traffic (network feeds, commercial feeds, etc.) through a third-party provider.
I ran into Tony a couple of years later and told him what had happened. He laughed.

Seriously though, up high and freshly warm spots are the coziest! Your cat looks so content.
Holiday kitty tip:
Collect a small bouquet of pretty seasonal leaves. If you really want to go all out, wax a few of the prettiest for the Thanksgiving table decor and stash until then.
The rest of the leaves are fantastic kitty enrichments to "hide" around a before you are going to vacuum or sweep anyways. Especially when they're rustly when moved, dry and crunchy. Something new to sniff out and play with. The family cats have been adoring this game for weeks, really getting into sniffing all the leaves from different places excites them every time.
Young kitten tip: Know the kind of leaves offered are safe and observe them so they don't eat the whole thing.
