I hope that some people will love this.

I'm not going to use it. Computers should be efficient. People should be effective.

There is a difference. 😉



I think the speckled (?) Hens are Plymouth Rock chickens...
They look huge compared to.my "bantam" Silky "black meat" chickens.. After a feast of soup and BBQ worked up.by 2 guys from the countryside of the Phillipines I want to raise some big birds.. The Silkies can be like pets, companions, incubators and the other breeds can serve as multinational community building feasts...

Someone just pointed out to me something very true to my experience—that the chrono timeline is easily gamed by frequent posters. Is there any fix for that, other than just unfollowing?

Edit: unfollowing *and muting*, which places the burden on the user rather than the UX.

lists of course. stop gatekeeping 😀 my huge number of posts. u b u, let me be me 😀 And of course I view this "gaming" as a UX failure in clients. There should be some way to collapse the posts or mute the posts temporarily of frequent posters or something. This is not rocket science UX or is it 😀 ?!?!
in reply to Nathan Schneider

You can mute people temporarily (or permanently). You can also turn off boosts on a per-poster basis IIRC


I've been meaning to recommend this tv series to people. Pro Bono is an immensely entertaining Korean courtroom drama with plenty of humour and heart. Sometimes it leaves the West panting in the dust when it comes to tough issues. I was blown away by the conclusion of the episodes to do with an immigration case. You can see this in English on Netflix.

(yes, there is a little schmaltz, but bear with it)

"How a Planned Disney World Vacation Turned Into Four Months in Immigration Detention"

"Maria Antonia had learned English at her private school in Medellin. She overheard one immigration officer tell another that if she had been 10 years old, they would have been able to keep her separated from her mom. That, she said, is when the real fear set in."

This teddy bear waved to me this afternoon, as I passed its barge while walking along the tow path. No really. The owner has a rope set up that runs from the arm of the teddy bear at the bow to the stern where he was stood steering. It was kinda lovely and heartwarming 🙂💕

I just preordered A Better World Is Possible for my kids (and me) and you should too! bookshop.org/p/books/a-better-…


Having one of those days where I've done a few reasonably energetic things, such as unload/load the dishwasher, swapped the TV onto a new cabinet, and tidied up a little bit, and now I'm completely and utterly wiped. Zero spoons.

Going to try heading out into the timid afternoon sunshine we've got here. We're going to visit one of the two ruined abbeys that are within a twenty minute drive. Take some photos and see how the rest of the afternoon goes.

in reply to DJDarren

Well, the sunshine ended up being not that timid.

I've lived across the river from Netley Abbey for half my life, but never visited it until today. It's really cool. Saw a buzzard too, but didn't get a photo.





last night i had a dream i saw a friend’s ex at a crosswalk. i tried to say hi but he ignored me.
this morning my friend texted me saying she dreamed of me and said ex, giggling and getting drunk together in a McMansion they lived in.
this is a man i have not seen or talked to in years. i did not particularly like or dislike him. weird world……

Incase anyone is interested in the Biochar burn I did the other day here’s how it worked for me (I was not sure what to expect- so feel like it might help others)
I used a biochar kiln, with an inner & outer sleeve. The inner sleeve has holes at the bottom and very top only.
The fuel was riddled woodchip (to stop too small particles blocking airflow)
1 You can see the gasses coming through the top airholes & burning off.
2 flames go pale/invisible
3 quenched char

in reply to Helena

The biochar will help aerate the soil, add microbiology help with water retention and make a long term store of inert carbon.
The biochar burn stores more carbon than is burnt off, making it a net carbon store despite the fire.

We get woodchip as a waste product from the local tree surgeon.

I also managed to get some willow offcuts from a local basket weaver’s class & will try those next. They will also try making biochar with the rest of their offcuts.

#Uxntal has changed a little bit this week, macros can now be called using local scope bindings, think obj.macro_name()

It's a bit hard to explain in non-uxn terms, but it's as if an object's member could point to a macro that will be inlined where it's called. It's a little convenience, but it's comfy as hell, and I can't say I've ever came across this in the wild.

yeah, it has for a few years. It only has allowed local bindings for macros, like described in the post, since thursday tho

❝ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone.❞

Read that. Reread that. Internalize it. Map that back to every story you’ve heard of ICE agents going off the rails, every random kidnapping, every brutal and stupid ICE story.

❝“Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that.”❞

You know the classic story of the foolish employer who paid software developers per bug fixed? If you haven’t, you can guess the outcome: program called off when one developer “fixed“ hundreds of bugs in a single day (that they’d intentionally introduced).

This is just like that, except not like it at all: the “fake bugs” — ICE agents abducting random people to make a buck — are the •intended• effect.

How far back in time can you understand English?

It’s a thousand years of the English language, compressed into a single blog post.

"... as his post goes on, his language gets older. A hundred years older with each jump. The spelling changes. The grammar changes. Words you know are replaced by unfamiliar words, and his attitude gets older too, as the blogger’s voice is replaced by that of a Georgian diarist, an Elizabethan pamphleteer, a medieval chronicler."

You have antagonized an evil spirit and it's giving you the following choices as to how your family will be punished.

what do you chose?

A. Three of your family members will be picked at random to develop a terminal illness that will kill them in the next three years. All family members other than you will be given fully paid time off to spend with them until they pass. You will be unable to contact any member of your family until the final member you cursed dies.

B. You and one other member of your family picked at random will take the terminal illness instead but the two of you will only have each other for company until you pass.

C. You refuse to make a choice your entire family is scattered and isolated then given the same terminal illness.
