@ai6yr I’m beginning to wonder if my in-laws will make it home on Monday or if I will be hosting them for a few more days.

The core of this is: billionaires believe your net worth determines your worth as a person. Thus, if you have no net worth, you have no worth as a person. Plus, they also believe government is only as good as it puts money in their (own) pocket, and any expenditures of government which do not personally benefit them, is "waste". This is just the embodiment of that philosophy when they are running government. (it us to be "of the people, for the people", it's now "of the billionaires, for the billionaires ONLY")

@ai6yr "Vaccine hesitancy", of all the whitewashed, cowardly phrases coined since 2020... 🤬

LOL I guess there is no news about the radioactive container ship today. Is this the origin story of Admiral Ackbar? #radioactiveshrimp

@ai6yr I am consistently amazed and impressed at your abilities.

Interesting, someone bought all the rights to those sewing patterns and spun it out as a new company. (for a mere $2.25 million)https://craftindustryalliance.org/sewing-patterns-rise-from-dga-bankruptcy-ashes/#sewing

@mikecherry @zakalwe @ai6yr ... that's assuming they can plan that well.

BBC HistorySeptember 15, 1933 (Nazi Germany)"First raids against 'vagrants'First raids against 'vagrants' (the term 'vagrants' being used loosely, to include anyone the authorities are suspicious of). Thousands are arrested, although most are soon released. Welfare authorities tighten restrictions against 'vagrants'. 'Disorderly vagrants' can be arrested, assigned to compulsory labour schemes, or incarcerated.https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/worldwars/genocide/nazi_genocide_timeline_noflash.shtml#history #genocide #politics

Correction: 3.6 million. Deleted queue, disabled elasticsearch, and things have recovered. It appears that something decided my Mastodon instance would be a great way to search and crawl the fediverse. Need to determine how to limit searching to logged-in users ONLY. #MastoAdmin

Note: Wilderness First Aid Tip: if you exchange saliva with a raccoon, no matter how cute it is, get rabies shots anyway. #rabies

@darkuncle @ai6yr 1. Many cuisines in that part of the world just see vegetables differently. There’s zero of the ‘eat your vegetables it is the good and virtuous and healthy thing to do’ mindset (I mostly see this outside of Asia). The perception is vegetables is just another type of food and when it’s available we’ll eat it. I don’t identify whatsoever with the ‘I need a green at every meal to feel like I have a balanced diet’ craving / need that many have in the west2. Raw vegetables is just often not a thing 3. Like others have mentioned there is a preference for cooked vegetables especially long beans or things in stews. These tend to be done at home not restaurants 4. Going out to eat is often ‘it makes more sense to focus on the meat and seafood’ vs the vegetables which cost as much and we can make ourselves 5. There are many regional Filipino cuisines and some are more veg focused than others. The primary regional cuisine represented abroad is not vegetable forward 6. People are allowed to not like vegetables as a people! I personally found it weird that people wanted to eat salads all the time, like what’s up with that. Just a very different relationship to food.

LOL wonder if the AI coding is going well there at Microsoft.""A recent change, intended to improve the left sidebar in Microsoft Teams, enabled an unoptimized code flow that's causing an error to be generated when launching the Microsoft Teams desktop and web app."https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-shares-workaround-for-teams-couldnt-connect-error/
