Retired software guy (games, EA, Adobe), photographer, TSR from the olden days, tinkerer with electronics.

Extremely displeased with the world around me these days.
But it’s the noble Cro-Magnon that they want to insist is superior. Although given their love of all things Putinesque maybe they will be trading that in for Denisovans soon.

Because he added qualifiers like if Hamas returns all the hostages and foregoes any role in Palestinian governance. Which ain’t gonna happen, so he won’t have to recognize

Dieting _doesn’t_ work. Study after study shows less than 10% of dieters “succeed”. I am certain we will eventually find a genetic marker for those people. In the meantime, they promote dieting because it allows them to put the failure on the individual instead of the “treatment”.

I believe that should be spelled “skweet” as a portmanteau of sky and tweet.

We re-watch Ted so often we made a rule that we can only do it once in a calendar month.

It’s fucking soothing.

I feel your pain.

When it works, it’s awesome. When it doesn’t, ouch.

I have spent hours fixing things I broke without knowing how.

After the fun of sending and receiving messages over #Meshtastic using a Commodore 64 and an SC126 CP/M board, I was wondering whether to try with one of the following:

ZX Spectrum.
BBC:microbit.
Acorn System One.

That’s because the “character” abstraction is leaky. What you meant was that you were interested in whether the message consisted of a single symbol or glyph, maybe in a designated range.

“character” is multiply overloaded in computing and thus a bad choice for an abstraction.
