I was worried it might fully melt while I’m gone and I’ll come back to my car being parked three feet from the curb with a stack of tickets on it. But it doesn’t seem that’s going to happen.

@Horace said in Mildly interesting: I wonder why things have changed so much. Tobacco and alcohol probably didn't help much.

I never pursued much in the way of technical expertise in coding because everything changed so fast with languages and libraries that I didn't have the energy or motivation to keep up. Now I see I didn't zoom out enough. Coding itself, in all of its forms, was the thing that was going to become obsolete.

So they went to other entities hungry for the fight. That hardly makes it any better.

Wow.

@jodi Butte. A toxic waste dump. (Seriously - I think it’s the largest superfund site in the United States). I know it well. The USEPA rep there gave me and a couple of colleagues a tour of the mine site. Disturbing to say the least. My maternal grandmother was born not far from Butte. Close to Virginia City in a little Irish village called Laurin - now, for all intents and purposes, a ghost town although the old red stone RC church and school are still in operation.

I’m already at 15 standing hours at 4:30pm. You’d think I hadn’t slept at all. [image: 1771201603994-img_0579.png]

Well, you could person them.

Englishmen are exempt from food critiques. They haven't been exposed.

No time to read the article but the concern is giving Xai preferential treatment for data center infrastructure in space. Like the railroads in the 19th century we try to avoid companies using a dominant position in one industry to dominate unrelated industries.

Damnit. I really needed $21,308.
