He's taking consequence off the table clearing the way for the next 3 years. Amazing. It would have cost nothing to just not say that even if it was the plan. The mind boggles.

I have mixed feelings about this. 99% of the time I agree with you wholeheartedly, but maybe this can be a sign of something positive. Being impacted personally can result in cognitive retraining, and becoming an advocate is a way to get a tropism established toward a new habit. But it's a stretch.

takes a while to propagate - DNS is a cache-heavy tech, or the internet would be intolerably slow. Some stable services have TTLs measured in hours or days.

looks like they want _atproto.catbus.phd to resolve to that record, so the name should be just _atproto, no punctuation.
If you wanted to have catbus.phd to resolve to a TXT record, you would use "@" in that name field (no quotes).
I'm assuming you selected the domain before hitting
add record.

Good lord, I had no idea. I'll definitely never call you a USian then.
I think I better not sub to your posts, I might forget and say something else innocuous that turns out to be hugely offensive to americans.

too sleepy to read it right now, but I'm immediately trapped in a recursive Iona loop now.

I guess I'm trying to say that getting pedantic about something so lacking any temporal stability or even momentary consensus is a fool's errand. And being a fool and oversupplied with education and citizenships, I'm happy to engage anyone who feels there's a definitive position to be staked out.

Yeah you're right, yet another weirdness - Ireland is part of the British Isles, but Northern Ireland is not in Great Britain. It is in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland though.
For now anyway, I hear there's a referendum coming...

Give Stewart Lee's "coming over here" bit a listen if you can find it. The UK may have been a thing longer than the US, but it was a lot of different things before it was the UK, and before it was Scotland England Wales etc. And before the US was the US, it was lots of other things similarly.

Not that I know of, but it doesn't roll of the tongue so nicely to my ear. I do have a difficult time figuring out what to call a UK citizen, other than "UK citizen" - "British" has a lot of negative connotations in my mind, and also I don't really like being personified by my nationalities.

Old English words for the (Celtic) Britons and survived until c. 1300. In Old French, Bret as an adjective meant "British, Breton; cunning, crafty; simple-minded, stupid."
