There's a new groups system for the Fediverse called chirp.social. More info at:
➡️ chirp.social
You can join a group by following the group account. You can post to the group by @-ing the group account, which then reposts that to all its other followers
It is similar to the existing a.gup.pe system, but chirp.social allows a group manager to delete posts and ban people from the group.
It works on all Fediverse platforms including Mastodon.
chirp.social: groups for the fediverse
Create groups for Mastodon and other ActivityPub-enabled apps.chirp.social

how have i never realized how weird the spelling of "patient" is.
on top of "t" somehow making "sh" sounds, all the vowels are making the wrong noises.
how does this end up as "pay shunt"

see, the reason why i like the id attribute is it makes it really easy to scrape data off of websites.
also url fragments are cool

if you ever need to evaluate xpath in a script, xmllint can do it and is pre-installed on most systems

![A MISTAKE OF NATURE'S REVEALED.
A woman's Morse is as feminine as her voice or her handwriting. I have often put to the test my ability to distinguish between the Morse of a man and that of a woman, and only once have I been deceived.
On this same Washington "circuit" I one day encountered a sender at the other end, a stranger, who for hours "roasted" me as I seldom had been in my telegraphic experience. The dots and dashes poured from the sounder in a bewildering torrent, and I had the hardest kind of work to keep up in copying. With all its fearful swiftness the Morse was clean-clipped and musical, though it had a harsh, staccato ring which indicated a lack of sentiment and feeling in the transmitter. From this, and from a certain dash and swagger, I gathered, before the day was out, a pretty distinct impression of the personality of the transmitter. I conceived him to be of a well-kept, aggressively clean appearance, with a shining red complexion and close-cropped hair; one, in brief, whose whole manner and make-up bespoke the self-satisfied sport. That he wore a diamond in his loudly striped shirt-front I considered extremely likely, and that he carried a tooth-pick between his lips was morally certain.
Next day I took occasion to make some inquiries of my fellow-operator at Washington.
"Oh, you mean T Y," he said, laughing. "Yes, for a girl, she is a fly sender."

“Before we get to visions of fusion power plants dotting the landscape, however, there's the uncomfortable fact that producing the 2 megajoules of laser power that started the fusion reaction took about 300 megajoules of grid power, so the overall process is nowhere near the break-even point.”
