Been thinking about Smash Mouth a lot lately. Today I've found out about Steve Harwell's death and want to share this gem with everyone:

Sorry About Your Penis
youtube.com/watch?v=G56XZxJIlg…

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?

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).

Irish 🇮🇪 #geoweirdness, secrets strange and bold,
across the isle, an odd tale to be told.
Cork to Donegal,
we'll unveil it all -
in this thread, the story will unfold.

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.

Day 2: Ten Days, Ten Films.


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 is a fun trailer for this! It includes some of the history of the film!

I had to go look at the website to see where this was. It's in Greenland and there is this link to the website of the person who took this photo. Do take a peek: denniina.com/gallery/23-24

Just a warning to any of you who still think that adblock is only going to get better, the MV3 transition has started up again. Adblock is basically dead for the normies very soon, the only solution will be integrated solutions like what Brave does developer.chrome.com/blog/resu…
in reply to Brodie Robertson

most chromium forks except edge said they will support mv2 so chromium users should be good provided they're not using Google chrome or edge
If Google bans it from the play store like they did with ad nauseum then they're screwed






The new episode of Serving Up #Science tackles “expiration dates” & why so many of the “sell by” & “use by” dates on #food labels are meaningless while contributing to our enormous food waste problem + #ClimateChange.

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

Nice primer on labeling! I’m conscious of the meanings (or lack thereof) of the dates on my foods, but am still guilty of the food waste crime. It’s so hard to feel good about someday actually eating those ancient pickles in the back of my fridge…
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

Generally, I give meat 5 days, other refrigerated food 7 days past the date, and a month for dried, bottled or canned food. (Except for dry pasta and dry rice. I’ve never actually come across dry pasta or dry rice that’s gone bad…🤔)

@liquidx The texture healing sounds cool! First time I’ve heard of something like that. Could be great or uncanny valley




Interesting results from the British Academy's experiment of randomizing the awarding of research grants. While all the proposals eligible for funding have passed a high quality threshold random selection of what proposals receives funding increases diversity quite dramatically on several dimensions.

Sticker shock: MBTA says nearly $25 billion needed to repair aging system


That cost includes only repairs and not any upgrades to the system
Massachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton also issued a statement Thursday calling the T's announcement "the honest assessment we've been waiting for." He added that "$24.5 billion is a big number, but it’s not shocking given the accumulation of decades of under-investment."

Massachusetts MBTA Is In Serious Trouble

in reply to Joseph Teller

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.

in reply to Joseph Teller

And thats what happens when the Republicans screw with the budgets, replace the controlling board with their own political hacks, drain off funds to add a rail line that pretty much serves the wealthy but lets rolling stock on the rest of the system crumble, awards contracts to untried outside companies (5 years after being contracted and paid a Chinese contractor still has failed to deliver passenger cars or engines) etc
