Seriously considering retraining as an electrician. 🤔
How's that for a mid life crisis.

Oh, you got your emulator running with a few games to play? That's cute.
Andrew Warkentin has made a VM that has over 1,700 operating systems on it that you select from a launcher. One Thousand Seven Hundred Plus.
Aww, your emulator takes a couple gigs. His takes 174 of them.

@farah I think we all do girlypops
Burn Gorman might be one of the best villain actors in recent memory for me. He was unhinged in The Expanse, really made feel dread in Turn, and dialed up the anxiety in The Man in the High Castle. Just so, so suspenseful.
@brianb Did you see Torchwood? He's just a guy in that one - I had this constant unease watching it because I was so used to the "evil” roles he's played 😄
The flooding at the Greenford London subway station has been reduced by around 90% thanks to... *checks notes* ...a family of beavers.
After conservationists reintroduced a group of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals began building dams, and the wetlands they created now absorb and slow floodwater naturally.
City officials had been planning major flood infrastructure works, but the beavers effectively created them on their own — while also boosting biodiversity and restoring the ecosystem around them.
I think the money the city would have spent on anti-flooding infrastructure should go to the beavers, don't you? 🦫 🦫 🦫

It's probably time to retire the verb "google" like they asked us to in 2006.
@stuartb @AkaSci Didn't thee originally atlas program have something like SEVENTEEN failures/explosions in a row before they launched the one with Al Shepard on top, less than a year after the last oopsie?
Starship is typical of the early days of the space race: we've gotten spoiled by risk-avoidant defense corporations that don't innovate.
@cstross @stuartb @AkaSci But NASA developed an iron-clad safety culture, with multiple redundancies, fault analysis techniques, and an insistence on independent quality assessment.
It’s expensive but necessary when dealing with a launch system that is roughly 11 kilotons of TNT or about the same explosive force as the Hiroshima atomic bomb.

Jeff Bezos went on TV to whine about Zohran Mamdani to stop demonizing billionaires and the very next day Mayor Mamdani responded by forcing Amazon to pay $9M in fines accrued by Amazon delivery trucks for illegally idling and blocking NYC traffic.
This is what happens when you elect a mayor for the people, not the corporations. We need more of this.
TIL cryptocurrency is banned in China since 2021. No wonder China is leading in science and technological innovation these days
